Abstract

The novel nonlinear dispersive Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) mean-field model with the space-modulated nonlinearity and potential (called GP(m, n) equation) is investigated in this paper. By using self-similar transformations and some powerful methods, we obtain some families of novel envelope compacton-like solutions spikon-like solutions to the GP(n, n) (n>1) equation. These solutions possess abundant localized structures because of infinite choices of the self-similar function X(x). In particular, we choose X(x) as the Jacobi amplitude function am(x,k) and the combination of linear and trigonometric functions of space x so that the novel localized structures of the GP(2,2) equation are illustrated, which are much different from the usual compacton and spikon solutions reported. Moreover, it is shown that GP(m,1) equation with linear dispersion also admits the compacton-like solutions for the case 0<m<1 and spikon-like solutions for the case m<0.

Two-Parameter Family of Nonlinear Dirac Equations With Scalar-Scalar plus Vector-Vector Interactions

We obtain exact solutions of the nonlinear Dirac equation in $1+1$ dimensions of the form $ψ(x,t) = e^{-iωt} ψ(x)$ for scalar-scalar (SS) plus vector-vector (VV) interaction with interaction Lagrangian given by $$L_{I} = \frac{g^2}{κ+1}[(\barψ ψ)^{κ+1} +\frac{1}{p} (\barψ γ_μψ\barψ γ^μ ψ)^{κ+1}]$$ where $p > 0$ but arbitrary otherwise. We look for solutions with $0 < ω< m$ where $ω, m$ are frequency and mass, respectively. We find solutions for all values of $ω$ in this range. We compute the charge $Q$ and the energy $E$ for each of the solitary wave solutions and explore the region in the ($p, κ$) parameter space in which solitary wave bound states exist (i.e., for which $E/Q < m$). We show that for all the cases while both $E$ and $Q$ depend on the coupling constant $g$, their ratio $E/Q$ is independent of $g$. We further find that in case $pκ\le 1$, the charge density for all the solitary waves have only single hump while for $p κ> 1$ there is a transition from double to single hump and we determine it as a function of $ω/m$. We notice that for all $p$ there is a transition at $κ=2$ in the behavior of $E/Q$ as a function of $ω$ which we speculate is related to the onset of instability of the solutions at $κ=2$. We obtain the nonrelativistic reduction of the two-parameter family to a non-relativistic modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) and discuss the stability of the single hump olitary waves in the domain of validity of the modified NLSE.

The Origin of Imperfection Sensitivity in the Buckling of Cylindrical Shells

Buckling of thin cylindrical shells under axial compression, a classical example of a subcritical instability, is highly sensitive to small imperfections, with minute geometric variations causing large changes in buckling threshold. To uncover the origin of this sensitivity, we use numerical continuation and bifurcation analysis while systematically varying the depth and size of a single localized Gaussian defect. We show that the instabilities of the imperfect shell originate from localized equilibria already present in the perfect shell. By breaking translation symmetry, the defect pins these equilibria and changes how they connect to the imperfect base state. Small changes in defect geometry can thereby switch the bifurcation that triggers buckling, producing non-monotonic and discontinuous changes in buckling threshold and abrupt changes in buckling mode. Imperfection sensitivity is therefore not simply sensitivity to imperfection magnitude, but sensitivity of the underlying bifurcation structure to imperfection geometry.

Hyperbolic-Tangent Shocks in a Lossy Nonlinear Transmission Line

We consider a lossy transmission line with a nonlinear voltage--charge relation. We derive an equation for a traveling front with the charge approaching constant asymptotic values on both sides of the front and solve the inverse problem for this equation exactly. Starting from a prescribed monotonic front profile and a prescribed front speed, we determine the dimensionless squared local sound speed within the front. This quantity is the central object of our analysis and allows us to determine the voltage--charge relation of the transmission line in which the front propagates. The squared sound speed, averaged uniformly over the charge interval spanned by the front, is equal to the squared front speed. We specifically consider fronts with a hyperbolic-tangent profile. All physically admissible fronts of this form are shocks rather than kinks. The voltage--charge relation of the transmission line in which the shock propagates is expressed in terms of the lower incomplete beta function. We also treat a transmission line with a cubic voltage--charge relation and propose an approximate equation that admits the hyperbolic-tangent shock profile as an exact solution. The results of the approximate approach coincide with the broad-shock approximation of the exact inverse solution.
