Cutoff solitons and bistability of the discrete inductance-capacitance electrical line: Theory and experiments
2007
A discrete nonlinear system driven at one end by a periodic excitation of frequency above the upper band edge (the discreteness induced cutoff) is shown to be a means to (1) generate propagating breather excitations in a long chain and (2) reveal the bistable property of a short chain. After detailed numerical verifications, the bistability prediction is demonstrated experimentally on an electrical transmission line made of 18 inductance-capacitance $(LC)$ cells. The numerical simulations of the $LC$-line model allow us also to verify the breather generation prediction with a striking accuracy.
Dissipative lattice model with exact traveling discrete kink-soliton solutions: Discrete breather generation and reaction diffusion regime
1999
International audience; We introduce a nonlinear Klein-Gordon lattice model with specific double-well on-site potential, additional constant external force and dissipation terms, which admits exact discrete kink or traveling wave fronts solutions. In the nondissipative or conservative regime, our numerical simulations show that narrow kinks can propagate freely, and reveal that static or moving discrete breathers, with a finite but long lifetime, can emerge from kink-antikink collisions. In the general dissipative regime, the lifetime of these breathers depends on the importance of the dissipative effects. In the overdamped or diffusive regime, the general equation of motion reduces to a di…
Breather Molecular Complexes in a Passively Mode‐Locked Fiber Laser
2021
International audience; Breathing solitons are nonlinear waves in which the energy concentrates in a localized and oscillatory fashion. Similarly to stationary solitons, breathers in dissipative systems can form stable bound states displaying molecule-like dynamics, which are frequently called breather molecules. So far, the experimental observation of optical breather molecules and the real-time detection of their dynamics are limited to diatomic molecules, that is, bound states of only two breathers. In this work, the observation of different types of breather complexes in a mode-locked fiber laser: multibreather molecules, and molecular complexes originating from the binding of two breat…
Subharmonic and homoclinic bifurcations in the driven and damped sine-Gordon system
1999
Abstract Chaotic responses induced by an applied biharmonic driven signal on the sine-Gordon (sG) system influenced by a constant dc-driven and the damping fields are investigated using a collective coordinate approach for the motion of the breather in the system. For this biharmonic signal, one term has a large amplitude at low frequency. Thus, the classical Melnikov method does not apply to such a system; however, we use the modified version of the Melnikov method to homoclinic bifurcations of the perturbed sG system. Additionally resonant breathers are studied using the modified subharmonic Melnikov theory. This dynamic behavior is illustrated by some numerical computations.
Behavior of gap solitons in anharmonic lattices
2017
International audience; Using the theory of bifurcation, we provide and find gap soliton dynamics in a nonlinear Klein-Gordon model with anharmonic, cubic, and quartic interactions immersed in a parametrized on-site substrate potential. The case of a deformable substrate potential allows theoretical adaptation of the model to various physical situations. Nonconvex interactions in lattice systems lead to a number of interesting phenomena that cannot be produced with linear coupling alone. By investigating the dynamical behavior and bifurcations of solutions of the planar dynamical systems, we derive a variety of exotic solutions corresponding to the phase trajectories under different paramet…
Horseshoe-shaped maps in chaotic dynamics of long Josephson junction driven by biharmonic signals
2000
Abstract A collective coordinate approach is applied to study chaotic responses induced by an applied biharmonic driven signal on the long Josephson junction influenced by a constant dc-driven field with breather initial conditions. We derive a nonlinear equation for the collective variable of the breather and a new version of the Melnikov method is then used to demonstrate the existence of Smale horseshoe-shaped maps in its dynamics. Additionally, numerical simulations show that the theoretical predictions are well reproduced. The subharmonic Melnikov theory is applied to study the resonant breathers. Results obtained using this approach are in good agreement with numerical simulations of …
L'identité de Fay en théorie des systèmes intégrables
2011
Fay's identity on Riemann surfaces is a powerful tool in the context of algebro-geometric solutions to integrable equations. This relation generalizes a well-known identity for the cross-ratio function in the complex plane. It allows to establish relations between theta functions and their derivatives. This offers a complementary approach to algebro-geometric solutions of integrable equations with certain advantages with respect to the use of Baker-Akhiezer functions. It has been successfully applied by Mumford et al. to the Korteweg-de Vries, Kadomtsev-Petviashvili and sine-Gordon equations. Following this approach, we construct algebro-geometric solutions to the Camassa-Holm and Dym type …
Analysis of soliton dynamics and noise induced effects on the superconductive lifetime in long Josephson junctions.
2013
The influence of various noise sources on the transient dynamics of long Josephson junctions (LJJ) is investigated in the presence of an oscillating bias current signal and a noise source with Gaussian or non-Gaussian (i.e. Cauchy-Lorentz or Lévy-Smirnov) probability distributions. These systems are computationally analyzed integrating the perturbed Sine-Gordon equation describing the phase evolution. We found evidence of noise induced effects on trends of the mean escape time (MET) from the superconductive metastable state, varying different system parameters, as the bias frequency, noise intensity and junction length. In particular, we find resonant activation (RA) and noise enhanced stab…
Transient dynamics in driven long Josephson junctions.
2013
The switching time from the superconductive metastable state of a long Josephson junction (LJJ)[1] is computationally analyzed in the framework of the perturbed sine-Gordon equation. The model includes an external bias current term and a stochastic noise source, i.e. a Lévy noise term. The effects of this noise on the mean escape time (MET) from the superconductive state are analyzed. The investigation is performed by considering a wide range of values of system parameters and different noise statistics: Gaussian, Cauchy-Lorentz and Lévy-Smirnov[2]. We found evidence of well known noise induced phenomena on the MET behavior, that is the noise enhanced stability (NES) and resonant activation…
Deformations of the seventh order Peregrine breather solutions of the NLS equation with twelve parameters.
2013
We study the solutions of the one dimensional focusing NLS equation. Here we construct new deformations of the Peregrine breather of order 7 with 12 real parameters. We obtain new families of quasi-rational solutions of the NLS equation. With this method, we construct new patterns of different types of rogue waves. We recover triangular configurations as well as rings isolated. As already seen in the previous studies, one sees appearing for certain values of the parameters, new configurations of concentric rings.
