Discrete-ring vortex solitons
2010
We study analytically and numerically the existence and stability of discrete vortex solitons in the circular arrays of nonlinear optical waveguides, governed by the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Stable vortex breathers with periodically oscillating topological charge are identified and a continuous interpolating map is constructed which allows to recover trajectories of individual phase dislocations in the form of hyperbolic avoided crossings.
IMEX Finite Volume Methods for Cloud Simulation
2017
We present new implicit-explicit (IMEX) finite volume schemes for numerical simulation of cloud dynamics. We use weakly compressible equations to describe fluid dynamics and a system of advection-diffusion-reaction equations to model cloud dynamics. In order to efficiently resolve slow dynamics we split the whole nonlinear system in a stiff linear part governing the acoustic and gravitational waves as well as diffusive effects and a non-stiff nonlinear part that models nonlinear advection effects. We use a stiffly accurate second order IMEX scheme for time discretization to approximate the stiff linear operator implicitly and the non-stiff nonlinear operator explicitly. Fast microscale clou…
Long-Range interaction of temporal incoherent solitons
2014
Contrary to conventional solitons, temporal incoherent solitons are sustained by a defocusing nonlinearity with anomalous dispersion and exhibit a non-mutual attractive-repulsive interaction. We explain these results by a long-range Vlasov formalism.
Breather compactons in nonlinear Klein-Gordon systems
1999
We demonstrate the existence of a localized breathing mode with a compact support, i.e., a stationary breather compacton, in a nonlinear Klein-Gordon system. This breather compacton results from a delicate balance between the harmonicity of the substrate potential and the total nonlinearity induced by the substrate potential and the coupling forces between adjacent lattice sites.
Solitons in Nonlinear Transmission Lines
1996
Although solitary waves and solitons were originally discovered in the context of water waves and lattice dynamics, consideration of these physical systems (which will be considered in Chaps.5 and 8) leads to calculations far too involved for pedagogical purposes. Thus, for an introduction to the soliton concept, we therefore consider simple wave propagation in electrical nonlinear transmission lines and electrical networks.
Fully relativistic non-linear cosmological evolution in spherical symmetry using the BSSN formalism
2014
We present a fully relativistic numerical method for the study of cosmological problems using the Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura formalism on a dynamical Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker background. This has many potential applications including the study of the growth of structures beyond the linear regime. We present one such application by reproducing the Lema\^itre-Tolman-Bondi solution for the collapse of pressureless matter with arbitrary lapse function. The regular and smooth numerical solution at the center of coordinates proceeds in a natural way by relying on the Partially Implicit Runge-Kutta algorithm described in Montero and Cordero-Carri\'on [arXiv:1211.5930]. We gene…
Palatini $f(R)$ Black Holes in Nonlinear Electrodynamics
2011
The electrically charged Born-Infeld black holes in the Palatini formalism for $f(R)$ theories are analyzed. Specifically we study those supported by a theory $f(R)=R\pm R^2/R_P$, where $R_P$ is Planck's curvature. These black holes only differ from their General Relativity counterparts very close to the center, but may give rise to different geometrical structures in terms of inner horizons. The nature and strength of the central singularities are also significantly affected. In particular, for the model $f(R)=R - R^2/R_P$ the singularity is shifted to a finite radius, $r_+$, and the Kretschmann scalar diverges only as $1/(r-r_+)^{2}$.
SUPERFIELDS AND CANONICAL METHODS IN SUPERSPACE
1986
We consider the “supersymmetric roots” of the Heisenberg evolution equation as describing the dynamics of superfields in superspace. We investigate the superfield commutators and their equal time limits and exhibit their noncanonical character even for free superfields. For simplicity, we concentrate on the D=1 case, i.e., the superfield formulation of supersymmetric quantum mechanics in the Heisenberg picture and, as a soluble example, the supersymmetric oscillator. Finally, we express Noether’s theorem in superspace and give the definition of the global conserved supercharges.
Effect of the non-gaussianity on the measurement error for the filtered 1/f noise intensity
1999
To study the nature of the 1/f noise phenomenon in conductors, we seek a tool for testing different hypotheses of 1/f noise origin. The method analyzing the noise intensity at the output of a bandpass filter is discussed for the case of non-Gaussian processes. Data on measurement error are presented for the 1/f noise intensity in GaAs films and the Gaussian white noise emulated by a computer. A numerical model of 1/f noise as the superposition of telegraph random processes has been created. This method requires further improvement to check the noise for stationarity. Some ideas of how to do that are proposed.
Effect of three-body cluster on the healing properties of the Jastrow Correlation function
1973
A variational equation for the Jastrow Correlation function is derived from the energy functional expanded up to three-body cluster terms. The asymptotic behaviour of this nonlinear equation is studied. The solutions show a healing at least of the type cos(tαr)/r2. The influence of higher cluster contributions is studied. Finally, it is discussed, how one can reduce the many-body cluster contributions to healing conditions to be used in the two-body cluster treatment.
