Soliton gas: Theory, numerics, and experiments

Andrey Gelash

The concept of soliton gas was introduced in 1971 by Zakharov as an infinite collection of weakly interacting solitons in the framework of Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. In this theoretical construction of a diluted (rarefied) soliton gas, solitons with ...

Emergent nonlinear dynamics in photonic lattices

Aleksandr Tusnin

Since the discovery of dissipative Kerr solitons in optical microresonators, significant progress has been made in the understanding of the underlying physical principles from the fundamental side and generation of broadband coherent optical Kerr frequency ...

Weak nonlinearity for strong non-normality

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Yves-Marie François Ducimetière

We propose a theoretical approach to derive amplitude equations governing the weakly nonlinear evolution of non-normal dynamical systems, when they experience transient growth or respond to harmonic forcing. This approach reconciles the non-modal nature of ...

Stability of a Point Charge for the Vlasov–Poisson System: The Radial Case

Klaus Martin Widmayer

We consider the Vlasov–Poisson system with repulsive interactions. For initial data a small, radial, absolutely continuous perturbation of a point charge, we show that the solution is global and disperses to infinity via a modified scattering along traject ...

Multistability-Enabled Complex Soliton Dynamics in a Bichromatically Driven Optical Microresonator

Tobias Kippenberg, Wenle Weng, Romain Dany Bruno Bouchand

We enter a bichromatically-pumped multistability regime in a microresonator to observe the emergence of complex dynamics of dissipative Kerr soliton interactions, including short-range soliton binding and periodic soliton collision. (C) 2020 The Author(s) ...

Brownian Swarm Dynamics and Burgers’ Equation with Higher Order Dispersion

Max-Olivier Hongler

he concept of ranked order probability distribution unveils natural probabilistic interpretations for the kink waves (and hence the solitons) solving higher order dispersive Burgers’ type PDEs. Thanks to this underlying structure, it is possible to propose ...

Decay for the nonlinear KdV equations at critical lengths

Hoài-Minh Nguyên

We consider the nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation in a bounded interval equipped with the Dirichlet boundary condition and the Neumann boundary condition on the right. It is known that there is a set of critical lengths for which the solutions of ...

Control and stabilization of the periodic fifth order Korteweg-de Vries equation

Derek Lee Smith

We establish local exact control and local exponential stability of periodic solutions of fifth order Korteweg-de Vries type equations in H-s(& x1d54b;), s > 2. A dissipative term is incorporated into the control which, along with a propagation of regulari ...

Polychromatic Cherenkov Radiation Induced Group Velocity Symmetry Breaking in Counterpropagating Dissipative Kerr Solitons

Tobias Kippenberg, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng, Romain Dany Bruno Bouchand

High-order-dispersion-induced dispersive waves emitted by dissipative Kerr solitons are frequently observed in microresonator frequency comb generation. Also known as soliton Cherenkov radiation, this type of dispersive wave plays a critical role in comb s ...

Convergence To Stratified Flow For An Inviscid 3D Boussinesq System

Klaus Martin Widmayer

We study the stability of special, stratified solutions of a 3D Boussinesq system describing an incompressible, inviscid 3D fluid with variable density (or temperature, depending on the context) under the effect of a uni-directional gravitational force. Th ...

Vibrationally and Rotationally Inelastic Scattering of Methane from Ni(111)

Jörn Werdecker

This thesis presents a quantum-state-resolved molecular beam study of the non-reactive scattering of methane (CH4) from a Ni(111) surface. It is one of the first experimental investigations in which the internal quantum state distribution of a polyatomic m ...

Solitary waves in longitudinally wrinkled and creased helicoids

Florian Paul Robert Maurin

Elastic ribbons subjected to twist and stretch handle multiple morphological instabilities, amongst others, the longitudinally wrinkled and creased helicoids are investigated in the present paper as promising periodic nonlinear waveguides. Modeling the rib ...

The Geometric Nature of the Flaschka Transformation

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz

We show that the Flaschka map, originally introduced to analyze the dynamics of the integrable Toda lattice system, is the inverse of a momentum map. We discuss the geometrical setting of the map and apply it to the generalized Toda lattice systems on semi ...

Wave propagation in periodic buckled beams

Florian Paul Robert Maurin

Folding of the earth's crust, wrinkling of the skin, rippling of fruits, vegetables and leaves are all examples of natural structures that can have periodic buckling. Periodic buckling is also present in engineering structures such as compressed lattices, ...

A class of Neumann type systems and its application

A class of Neumann type systems are derived separating the spatial and temporal variables for the 2+1 dimensional Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon-Kotera-Sawada (CDGKS) equation and the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) hierarchy. The Lax-Moser matrix of Neumann type s ...
