Canonical Hamiltonians for waves in inhomogeneous media
We obtain a canonical form of a quadratic Hamiltonian for linear waves in a weakly inhomogeneous medium. This is achieved by using the WKB representation of wave packets. The canonical form of the Hamiltonian is obtained via the series of canonical Bogolyubov-type and near-identical transformations. Various examples of the application illustrating the main features of our approach are presented...
متن کاملLocalized waves in inhomogeneous media
This review examines the localization of one-dimensional nonlinear waves in an inhomogeneous multiphase medium. Particular attention is devoted to the localization of two types of waves, namely, solitary waves (domains) and switching waves that are the separation boundaries between the corresponding phases (domain walls). The localized state of such waves on both point and slowly-varying (in sp...
متن کاملOscillatory waves in inhomogeneous neural media.
In this Letter we show that an inhomogeneous input can induce wave propagation failure in an excitatory neural network due to the pinning of a stationary front or pulse solution. A subsequent reduction in the strength of the input can lead to a Hopf instability of the stationary solution resulting in breatherlike oscillatory waves.
متن کاملOptical Waves in Inhomogeneous Kerr Media Beyond Paraxial Approximation
This thesis deals with the propagation of optical waves in Kerr nonlinear media, with emphasis on optical beam propagation beyond the slowly varying envelope approximation (SVEA). The first topic in this thesis is the propagation of a continuous-wave in one-dimensional (1D) nonlinear grating structures. For this purpose we develop a numerical scheme based on a variational method. It directly im...
متن کاملSwing Absorption ’ of fast magnetosonic waves in inhomogeneous media
The recently suggested swing interaction between fast magnetosonic and Alfvén waves (Zaqarashvili & Roberts 2002a) is generalized to inhomogeneous media. We show that the fast magnetosonic waves propagating across an applied non-uniform magnetic field can parametrically amplify the Alfvén waves propagating along the field through the periodical variation of the Alfvén speed. The resonant Alfvén...
