Propagations of Fresnel diffraction accelerating beam in Schrodinger equation with nonlocal nonlinearity

Accelerating beams have been the subject of extensive research in the last few decades because of their selfacceleration and diffraction-free propagation over several Rayleigh lengths.Here,we investigate the propagation dynamics of a Fresnel diffraction beam using the nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger equation(NNLSE).When a nonlocal nonlinearity is introduced into the linear Schrodinger equation without invoking an external potential,the evolution behaviors of incident Fresnel diffraction beams are modulated regularly,and certain novel phenomena are observed.We show through numerical calculations,under varying degrees of nonlocality,that nonlocality significantly affects the evolution of Fresnel diffraction beams.Further,we briefly discuss the two-dimensional case as the equivalent of the product of two one-dimensional cases.At a critical point,the Airy-like intensity profile oscillates between the first and third quadrants,and the process repeats during propagation to yield an unusual oscillation.Our results are expected to contribute to the understanding of NNLSE and nonlinear optics.

Optical solitons supported by finite waveguide lattices with diffusive nonlocal nonlinearity

We investigate the properties of fundamental,multi-peak,and multi-peaked twisted solitons in three types of finite waveguide lattices imprinted in photorefractive media with asymmetrical diffusion nonlinearity.Two opposite soliton selfbending signals are considered for different families of solitons.Power thresholdless fundamental and multi-peaked solitons are stable in the low power region.The existence domain of two-peaked twisted solitons can be changed by the soliton self-bending signals.When solitons tend to self-bend toward the waveguide lattice,stable two-peaked twisted solitons can be found in a larger region in the middle of their existence region.Three-peaked twisted solitons are stable in the lower(upper)cutoff region for a shallow(deep)lattice depth.Our results provide an effective guidance for revealing the soliton characteristics supported by a finite waveguide lattice with diffusive nonlocal nonlinearity.

Solitons in optical lattices with nonlocal nonlinearity

The propagation of spatial solitons is systematically investigated in nonlocal nonlinear media with an imprinted transverse periodic modulation of the refractive index. Based on the variational principle and the infinitesimal approximation of Maclaurin series expansion, we obtain an analytical solution of such nonlocal spatial solitons and an interesting result that the critical power for such solitons propagation is smaller than that in uniform nonlocal self-focusing media. It is found that there exist thresholds in modulation period and lattice depth for such solitons. A stable spatial soliton propagation is maintained with proper adjustment of the modulation period and the lattice depth.

Adiabatic evolution of optical beams of arbitrary shapes in nonlocal nonlinear media

We discuss evolution of Hermite–Gaussian beams of different orders in nonlocal nonlinear media whose characteristic length is set as different functions of propagation distance,using the variational approach.It is proved that as long as the characteristic length varies slowly enough,all the Hermite–Gaussian beams can propagate adiabatically.When the characteristic length gradually comes back to its initial value after changes,all the Hermite–Gaussian beams can adiabatically restore to their own original states.The variational results agree well with the numerical simulations.Arbitrary shaped beams synthesized by Hermite–Gaussian modes can realize adiabatic evolution in nonlocal nonlinear media with gradual characteristic length.

Elliptical Gaussian solitons in synthetic nonlocal nonliear media

This paper studies analytically and numerically the dynamics of two-dimensional elliptical Gaussian solitons in a ＂double-self-focusing＂ synthetic nonlocal media featuring elliptical and circular Gaussian response with different degrees of nonlocality. Based on the variational approach, it obtains the approximately analytical solution of such Gaussian elliptical solitons. It also computes the stability of the solitons by numerical simulations.

Surface superlattice solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media

We analyse surface solitons at the interface between a one-dimensional photonic superlattice and a uniform medium with weak nonlocal nonlinearity. We demonstrate that in deep lattices there exist three kinds of surface solitons when the propagation constant exceeds a critical value, including two on-site solitons and one off-site soliton. These three kinds of surface solitons have unique dynamical properties. If the relative depth of the superlattice is low, there is only one kind of off-site soliton; however, the solitons of this kind can propagate stably, unlike their deep superlattice counterparts. Dipole surface solitons are also investigated, and the stable domain is given.

Gaussian solitons in nonlocal media:variational analysis

Exact solutions of Gaussian solitons in nonlinear media with a Gaussian nonlocal response are obtained.Using the variational approach,we obtain the approximate solutions of such solitons when the degree of the nonlocality is arbitrary.Specifically,we study the conditions for Gaussian solitons that propagate in weakly and highly nonlocal media.We also compare the variational result with the known exact solutions for weakly and highly nonlocal media.

Variational solutions for Hermite-Gaussian solitons in nonlocal nonlinear media

The physical features exhibited by Hermite-Gaussian （HC） beams propagating in nonlocal nonlinear media with Gaussian-shaped response are discussed with an approximate variational method.Using direct numerical simulations,we find that the beam properties in the normalized system are different with the change of the degree of nonlocality.It is shown that initial HG profiles break up into several individual beams with propagation when the degree of nonlocality α is small.HG beams can propagate stably when a is large enough.

Conservation laws of the generalized nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger equation

The solutions of the strongly nonlocal spatial solitons with several types of nonlocal response functions

The fundamental and second order strongly nonlocal solitons of the nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger equation for several types of nonlocal responses are calculated by Ritz＇s variational method. For a specific type of nonlocal response, the solutions of the strongly nonlocal solitons with the same beam width but different degrees of nonlocality are identical except for an amplitude factor. For a nonlocal case where the nonlocal response function decays in direct proportion to the mth power of the distance near the source point, the power and the phase constant of the strongly nonlocal soliton are in inverse proportion to the （m ＋ 2）th power of its beam width.

Elegant Ince-Gaussian breathers in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media

A novel class of optical breathers, called elegant Ince-Gaussian breathers, are presented in this paper. They are exact analytical solutions to Snyder and Mitchell＇s mode in an elliptic coordinate system, and their transverse structures are described by Ince-polynomials with complex arguments and a Gaussian function. We provide convincing evidence for the correctness of the solutions and the existence of the breathers via comparing the analytical solutions with numerical simulation of the nonlocal nonlinear SchrSdinger equation.

Rotating soliton clusters in nonlocal nonlinear media

From the study of the dynamics for the ring-like soliton clusters, we find that there exists a critical value of the ring radius, dcr, for the stationary rotation of the clusters with respect to the beam centre even in the presence of the relatively strong noise, and that the soliton clusters will not rotate but only undergo periodic collisions in the form of simple harmonic oscillator if the ring radius is large enough. We also show that the direction of the rotation can be opposite to the direction of phase gradient when the relative phase difference is within the domain 0 〈 ｜θ｜ 〈 π, while along the direction of phase gradient when the relative phase difference is within the domain π 〈｜θ｜ 〈 2π

General Energy Decay of Solutions for A Wave Equation with Nonlocal Nonlinear Damping and Source Terms

We consider a wave equation with nonlocal nonlinear damping and source terms.We prove a general energy decay property for solutions by constructing a stable set and using the multiplier technique.The main difficult is how to handle with the nonlocal nonlinear damping term.Our result extends and improves the result in the literature such as the work by Jorge Silva and Narciso(Evolution Equation and Control Theory,2017(6):437-470)and Narciso(Evolution Equations and Control Theory,2020,9(2):487-508).

MULTI-BUMP SOLUTIONS FOR NONLINEAR CHOQUARD EQUATION WITH POTENTIAL WELLS AND A GENERAL NONLINEARITY

In this article,we study the existence and asymptotic behavior of multi-bump solutions for nonlinear Choquard equation with a general nonlinearity-Δu+(λa(x)+1)u=(1/|x|α*F(u))f(u)in R^N,where N≥3,0<α<min{N,4},λis a positive parameter and the nonnegative potential function a(x)is continuous.Using variational methods,we prove that if the potential well int(a^-1(0))consists of k disjoint components,then there exist at least 2^k-1 multi-bump solutions.The asymptotic behavior of these solutions is also analyzed asλ→+∞.

Propagation properties and radiation force of circular Airy Gaussian vortex beams in strongly nonlocal nonlinear medium

We study the abruptly autofocusing and autodefocusing properties of the circular Airy Gaussian vortex(CAi GV)beams in strongly nonlocal nonlinear medium for the first time through numerical simulations.The magnitude of topological charges and the position of the vortex could change not only the light spot pattern but also the intensity contrast.Meanwhile,we can change the position of the autofocusing and autodefocusing planes by changing the parameter of the incident beam.Furthermore,we can control the peak intensity contrast through choosing properly the truncation factor.As for the radiation force,we study the gradient and the scattering forces of CAi GV beams on Rayleigh dielectric sphere.Our analyses demonstrate that the radiation force can be enhanced by choosing proper parameters of CAi GV beams.

N-Fold Darboux Transformation for the Nonlocal Nonlinear Schrodinger(NNLS)Equation with the Self-Induced PT-Symmetric Potential

The Darboux transformation (DT) method is studied in a lot of local equations, but there are few of work to solve nonlocal equations by DT. In this letter, we solve the nonlocal nonlinear Schr&#246;dinger equation (NNLSE) with the self-induced PT-symmetric potential by DT. Then the N-fold DT of NNLSE is derived with the help of the gauge transformation between the Lax pairs. Then we derive some novel exact solutions including the bright soliton, breather wave soliton. In particularly, the dynamic features of one-soliton, two-soliton, three-soliton solutions and the elastic interactions between the two solitons are displayed.

Nonlinear vibration of embedded single-walled carbon nanotube with geometrical imperfection under harmonic load based on nonlocal Timoshenko beam theory

Based on the nonlocal continuum theory, the nonlinear vibration of an embedded single-walled carbon nanotube （SWCNT） subjected to a harmonic load is in- vestigated. In the present study, the SWCNT is assumed to be a curved beam, which is unlike previous similar work. Firstly, the governing equations of motion are derived by the Hamilton principle, meanwhile, the Galerkin approach is carried out to convert the nonlinear integral-differential equation into a second-order nonlinear ordinary differ- ential equation. Then, the precise integration method based on the local linearzation is appropriately designed for solving the above dynamic equations. Besides, the numerical example is presented, the effects of the nonlocal parameters, the elastic medium constants, the waviness ratios, and the material lengths on the dynamic response are analyzed. The results show that the above mentioned effects have influences on the dynamic behavior of the SWCNT.

In this paper, I construct a generalized Darboux transformation for the nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger equation with the self-induced parity-time symmetric potential. The N-order rational solution is derived by the iterative rule and it can be expressed by the determinant form. In particular, I calculate first-order and second-order rational solutions and obtain their figures according to different parameters.

Soliton interactions and asymptotic state analysis in a discrete nonlocal nonlinear self-dual network equation of reverse-space type

We propose a reverse-space nonlocal nonlinear self-dual network equation under special symmetry reduction,which may have potential applications in electric circuits.Nonlocal infinitely many conservation laws are constructed based on its Lax pair.Nonlocal discrete generalized(m,N−m)-fold Darboux transformation is extended and applied to solve this system.As an application of the method,we obtain multi-soliton solutions in zero seed background via the nonlocal discrete N-fold Darboux transformation and rational solutions from nonzero-seed background via the nonlocal discrete generalized(1,N−1)-fold Darboux transformation,respectively.By using the asymptotic and graphic analysis,structures of one-,two-,three-and four-soliton solutions are shown and discussed graphically.We find that single component field in this nonlocal system displays unstable soliton structure whereas the combined potential terms exhibit stable soliton structures.It is shown that the soliton structures are quite different between discrete local and nonlocal systems.Results given in this paper may be helpful for understanding the electrical signals propagation.

ORBITAL INSTABILITY OF STANDING WAVES FOR THE GENERALIZED 3D NONLOCAL NONLINEAR SCHR?DINGER EQUATIONS

The existence and orbital instability of standing waves for the generalized three- dimensional nonlocal nonlinear SchrSdinger equations is studied. By defining some suitable functionals and a constrained variational problem, we first establish the existence of standing waves, which relys on the inner structure of the equations under consideration to overcome the drawback that nonlocal terms violate the space-scale invariance. We then show the orbital instability of standing waves. The arguments depend upon the conservation laws of the mass and of the energy.
