The Zoo of Solitons for Curve Shortening in R
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide a detailed description of solutions of Curve Shortening in Rn that are invariant under some one-parameter symmetry group of the equation, paying particular attention to geometric properties of the curves, and the asymptotic properties of their ends. We find generalized helices, and a connection with curve shortening on the unit sphere Sn−1. Expanding rotating solitons turn out to be asymptotic to generalized logarithmic spirals. In terms of asymptotic properties of their ends the rotating shrinking solitons are most complicated. We find that almost all of these solitons are asymptotic to circles. Many of the curve shortening solitons we discuss here are either space curves, or evolving space curves. In addition to the figures in this paper, we have prepared a number of animations of the solitons, which can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/user/solitons2012/videos?view=1.

Numerical Analysis of Stability for Temporal Bright Solitons in a PT-Symmetric NLDC
PT-Symmetry is one of the interesting topics in quantum mechanics and optics. One of the demonstration of PT-Symmetric effects in optics is appeared in the nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC). In the paper we numerically investigate the stability of temporal bright solitons propagate in a PT-Symmetric NLDC by considering gain in bar and loss in cross. By using the analytical solutions of pertu...
متن کاملSome traveling wave solutions of soliton family
Solitons are ubiquitous and exist in almost every area from sky to bottom. For solitons to appear, the relevant equation of motion must be nonlinear. In the present study, we deal with the Korteweg-deVries (KdV), Modied Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) and Regularised LongWave (RLW) equations using Homotopy Perturbation method (HPM). The algorithm makes use of the HPM to determine the initial expansion...
متن کاملPrevalence of bovine tuberculosis in zoo animals in Pakistan
The study was carried out in zoo animals at Islamabad Zoo, Pakistan to know the prevalence of bovinetuberculosis. An overall prevalence of 3.3% was recorded in zoo animals with 3.6% in Bovidae, 3.2% inCervidae and 0% in Equidae families. The positive animals included spotted deer (1/3; 95% CI = 0.84,90.57), Chinkara gazella (1/5; 95% CI = 0.51, 71.64) and Blackbuck gazelle (1/30; 95% CI = 0.08,...
