Abstract

Dissipative vortices are stable two-dimensional localized structures existing due to balance between gain and loss in nonlinear systems far from equilibrium. Being resistant to the dispersion and nonlinear distortions they are considered as promising information carriers for new optical systems. The key challenge in the development of such systems is getting control over vortex waveforms. In this paper we report on replication of two-dimensional fundamental dissipative solitons and vortices due to their scattering on a locally applied potential in the cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. It has been found that an appropriate potential non-trivially splits both fundamental solitons and vortices into a few exact copies without losing in their amplitude levels. A remarkably simple potential having a finite supporter along the longitudinal coordinate and a double peaked dependence on a single transverse coordinate is found to be suitable for the replication of the two-dimensional localized structures.

Routes to chaos in a mass-conserving two-species reaction-diffusion model

Mass-conserving reaction-diffusion systems with two species correspond to a seemingly simple case where pattern formation occurs under the influence of a conservation law. Here, we first revisit their linear stability behavior and point out that generically two instabilities can occur: a stationary large-scale mass-conserving (Cahn-Hilliard) instability and an instability that combines features of a stationary large-scale non-mass-conserving (Allen-Cahn) instability and a oscillatory large-scale mass-conserving (conserved-Hopf) instability. We term it an Allen-Cahn-Hopf instability. Second, we investigate the nonlinear dynamics for a specific model related to the formation of cell polarization where only a Cahn-Hilliard instability can occur, i.e., all primary bifurcations are stationary. We analyze how secondary and further bifurcations subsequently give rise to various oscillatory states. The emerging rich spectrum of spatiotemporal behavior includes several period-doubling cascades related to different forms of spatial and temporal symmetry breaking. Beside regular states, three types of low-dimensional spatiotemporal chaos occur and involve transitions like fusion and an outer crises. Our results demonstrate the importance of nonlinear interactions in the dynamics of mass-conserving reaction-diffusion systems, and show that even a simple two-species system with primary bifurcations of Cahn-Hilliard type can show complex spatiotemporal behavior.

Duck hunting with quantum mechanics

We bridge two sides of singular perturbation theory: the classical theory of slow-fast systems and the semi-classical approach to quantum mechanical systems. For a specific but physically important class of dynamical systems, we show that purely classical and exotic objects, so-called canard solutions, are shadows of instantons in the corresponding quantum system. We demonstrate that canard solutions exist in a domain of parameter space whose boundaries are determined by an instanton action. We illustrate our statements analytically for the relevant example, the overdamped Josephson junction, and confirm them numerically. For the Josephson junction, the canard window is the exponentially narrow gap between consecutive Shapiro steps.
