A quantitative approach to soliton instability.

چکیده
We present an approach for instabilities of solitons that is based on the spectrum of a fourth-order linearized operator. Unlike the standard approach which is based on the slope (Vakhitov-Kolokolov) condition, this approach provides the quantitative value of the instability rate and the qualitative nature of the instability dynamics.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of stability and instability dynamics of positive lattice solitons.
We present a unified approach for qualitative and quantitative analysis of stability and instability dynamics of positive bright solitons in multidimensional focusing nonlinear media with a potential (lattice), which can be periodic, periodic with defects, quasiperiodic, single waveguide, etc. We show that when the soliton is unstable, the type of instability dynamic that develops depends on wh...

A dark soliton becomes unstable when it is incident on a background density gradient, and the induced instability results in the emission of sound. Detailed quantitative studies of sound emission are performed for various potentials, such as steps, linear ramps and gaussian traps. Continuous emission of sound is found to lead to an apparent deformation of the soliton profile. The power emitted ...
متن کاملThe Deterministic Generation of Extreme Surface Water Waves Based on Soliton on Finite Background in Laboratory
This paper aims to describe a deterministic generation of extreme waves in a typical towing tank. Such a generation involves an input signal to be provided at the wave maker in such a way that at a certain position in the wave tank, say at a position of a tested object, a large amplitude wave emerges. For the purpose, we consider a model called a spatial-NLS describing the spatial propagation o...
متن کاملSolution and stability analysis of coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations
We consider a new type of integrable coupled nonlinear Schrodinger (CNLS)equations proposed by our self [submitted to Phys. Plasmas (2011)]. The explicitform of soliton solutions are derived using the Hirota's bilinear method.We show that the parameters in the CNLS equations only determine the regionsfor the existence of bright and dark soliton solutions. Finally, throughthe linear stability an...
متن کاملRelation between Periodic Soliton Resonance and Instability
There are periodic soliton resonances in interactions between two periodic solitons and between periodic soliton and another kind of soliton. A close relation exists between the periodic soliton resonance and soliton instability to transverse disturbances. It is shown that the instability occurred in the line soliton is relaxed by emission of the periodic soliton and the periodic soliton resona...
