The modulational instability of ion-acoustic rogue waves in a three-dimensional magnetized, dissipative plasma consisting of inertial warm positive ions and nonextensive electrons has been theoreti...

Nonlinear excitations of Ca2+ waves are investigated in a two-dimensional cell network with bidirectional paracrine signaling, both in the longitudinal and transversal directions. The semi-discrete...

This paper explores the higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation with dual power-law nonlinearities and external potential that can depend on space and time coordinates. We constructed exact sol...

We investigate analytically and numerically the modulational instability (MI) of plane waves under competing nonlocal cubic-local quintic nonlinearities. The generic properties of the MI gain spectra are then demonstrated for the Gaussian response function, exponential response function, and rectangular response function. Special attention is paid to competing nonlocal cubic-local quintic nonlinearities on the MI. We observe that the focusing local quintic nonlinearity increases the growth rate and bandwidth of instability contrary to the small values of defocusing local quintic nonlinearity which decrease the growth rate and bandwidth of instability. Numerical simulations of the full model equation describing the dynamics of the waves are been carried out and leads to the development of pulse trains, depending upon the sign the quintic nonlinearity.

We are motivated by recent studies in medium formed by two tunnel-coupled waveguides. One of the waveguides is manufactured from an ordinary dielectric, while the second has negative refraction. We present an investigation of the gain spectrum permitting modulation instability in the nonlinear optical coupler with a negative-index metamaterial channel whose non-linear response includes third- and fifth-order terms. The principal motivation for our analysis stems from the impact of the inevitable presence of the effective cubic–quintic nonlinearity. We emphasize the influence of higher order nonlinear terms, over the MI phenomena, and the outcome of its development achieved by using linear stability analysis. Gain spectrum investigation has been carried out for both anomalous and normal dispersion regime in the focusing and defocusing cases of nonlinearity and near-zero dispersion regime where higher order linear dispersive effects emerge. Our results show that the MI gain spectra consist of multiple spect...

Modulational instability (MI) in negative refractive metamaterials with saturable nonlinearity, fourth-order dispersion (FOD), and second-order nonlinear dispersion (SOND) is investigated by using standard linear stability analysis and the Drude electromagnetic model. The expression for the MI gain spectrum is obtained, which clearly reveals the influence of the saturation of the nonlinearity, FOD, and SOND parameters on the temporal MI. The evolution of the MI in negative refractive metamaterials is numerically investigated. Special attention is paid to study the effects of the higher-order dispersion terms on the formation and evolution of the solitons induced by MI. It is shown that as the third-order dispersion term increases, the solitons travel toward the right. Moreover, the magnitude of the FOD term influences considerably the number of wave trains induced by MI.

We present a systematic analysis of the effects, of higher-order dispersion, noninstantaneous nonlinear response, as well as stochastic coefficients in optical fiber. This study is motivated by recent experimental observation of a new modulational instability spectral window induced by fourth-order dispersion in a normally dispersive single-mode optical fiber. Analytical expression of pulse amplitude is deduced with the second-order gain nonuniformity and the stimulated-Brillouin scattering-induced third-order as well as fourth-order dispersion effects involved. The influence of stochasticity, as well as the delayed Raman response in the nonconventional sidebands obtained due to the fourth-order dispersion, is considered. We note that the shape of the spectrum, and in particular the relative intensities of the higher order harmonics, is highly sensitive to the initial presence of classical noise, and can therefore be taken as a signature that the MI is seeded by vacuum fluctuations. Some direct simulation...

We consider the inhomogeneous (1+1)-dimensional coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations from the integrability point of view. This system has potential applications in inhomogeneous birefringent fiber media or in optical communication links with variable parameters. The exact analytical multisoliton solutions are obtained by employing the simple, straightforward Darboux transformation based on the obtained 3 × 3 Lax pair. Some main propagation and interaction properties of the one- and two-soliton solutions are discussed simultaneously. Also, the interaction between two neighboring combined solitary waves is numerically discussed. Excellent agreement with analytical results are found in the case of no collision. Moreover, the stability of these solutions are discussed in detail numerically with respect to a finite perturbation.
