Abstract

For the first time, the general nonlinear Schrödinger equation is investigated, in which the chromatic dispersion and potential are specified by two arbitrary functions. The equation in question is a natural generalization of a wide class of related nonlinear partial differential equations that are often used in various areas of theoretical physics, including nonlinear optics, superconductivity and plasma physics. To construct exact solutions, a combination of the method of functional constraints and methods of generalized separation of variables is used. Exact closed-form solutions of the general nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which are expressed in quadratures or elementary functions, are found. One-dimensional non-symmetry reductions are described, which lead the considered nonlinear partial differential equation to a simpler ordinary differential equation or a system of such equations. The exact solutions obtained in this work can be used as test problems intended to assess the accuracy of numerical and approximate analytical methods for integrating nonlinear equations of mathematical physics.

Superintegrability of discrete-time rational Ruijsenaars-Schneider model and deformed polynomial symmetry algebras

We explicitly construct the additional integrals of motion, ensuring maximal superintegrability of the discrete-time rational Ruijsenaars-Schneider model. Using them, we investigate the algebraic aspects of superintegrability in both continuous- and discrete-time settings. In particular, we determine the complete structures of the polynomial symmetry algebras associated with both the rational Ruijsenaars-Schneider model and its discretization. We demonstrate that discretization leads to a nontrivial deformation of the continuous symmetry algebra with respect to the discretization parameter, thereby extending recent analogous results from the rational Calogero-Moser system to its relativistic generalization.

Large-space and Large-time Asymptotics for the Focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger Soliton Gas

We investigate the large-space and large-time asymptotic behavior of a soliton gas for the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The soliton gas is constructed as the continuum limit of pure $N$-soliton solutions as $N\to\infty$, with the discrete spectrum confined to two segments $Σ_1$ and $Σ_2$. In particular, our framework does not require the discrete spectrum to be confined to the imaginary axis. By combining the nonlinear steepest descent method with an appropriate $g$-function mechanism, we show that, as $x\to-\infty$, the soliton gas is asymptotically described by a finite-gap elliptic solution with constant coefficients. In the large-time regime $t\to+\infty$, we assume that the endpoint $F$ lies on the trajectory of $H(ξ)$ with $ξ=\frac{x}{2t}\in(-E_1-\sqrt{2}E_2,-E_1)$, namely, $F=H(\hatξ)$, $\hatξ\in (-E_1-\sqrt{2}E_2,-E_1)$. Under this assumption, we prove that the solution exhibits distinct asymptotic behaviors in different regions of the variable $ξ=\frac{x}{2t}$. More precisely, there exist an exponentially decaying region $ξ\in(-E_1,+\infty)$, a modulated elliptic-wave region $ξ\in(\hatξ,-E_1)$, and an unmodulated elliptic-wave region $ξ\in(-\infty,\hatξ)$.

On singular solitons of the KP equation and the Go-diagrams

It has been proven that real and regular soliton solutions of the KP equation are classified in terms of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian. It is well known that vertex operators can be used to construct soliton solutions. In this paper, we consider several regular soliton solutions and study their combinations through products of vertex operators. In general, the resulting solutions become singular. Totally nonnegative elements are parametrized by the Le-diagrams introduced by Postnikov. We show that the resulting singular solutions can be parametrized by Go-diagrams, which extend Le-diagrams and arise in the Deodhar decomposition of the Grassmannian.
