Pearl supratransmission in a boundary-driven two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a hole

Abstract

We investigate energy supratransmission in a boundary-driven two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a central hole. Harmonic forcing with azimuthal modulation generates standing-wave states whose existence and stability depend on the driving amplitude, the inner radius, and the imposed azimuthal charge. Bifurcation analysis shows that small inner radii produce strongly confined states with higher destabilization thresholds, whereas larger radii yield broader profiles and smoother transitions between stable and unstable branches. The cubic--quintic and saturable models exhibit similar qualitative behaviour but differ quantitatively in their critical amplitudes and parameter dependence. A variational approximation captures the dependence of the critical drive on the azimuthal charge and nonlinear parameters, and clarifies how the nonlinear response shapes the stationary states near the turning point. Time-dependent simulations show that supratransmission occurs through the emission of localized pulses, with nonzero azimuthal charge triggering symmetry breaking and producing two-dimensional localized excitations (pearls). Isosurface plots provide a complementary view of the resulting radial and angular excursions. These results establish a quantitative framework for supratransmission in two-dimensional geometries and are relevant to driven nonlinear systems in optics, Bose--Einstein condensates, and structured media.

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.
