چکیده

We report the first experimental observation of periodic breathers in water waves. One of them is Kuznetsov-Ma soliton and another one is Akhmediev breather. Each of them is a localized solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) on a constant background. The difference is in localization which is either in time or in space. The experiments conducted in a water wave flume show results that are in good agreement with the NLS theory. Basic features of the breathers that include the maximal amplitudes and spectra are consistent with the theoretical predictions.

Breathers in Hamiltonian PT -Symmetric Chains of Coupled Pendula under a Resonant Periodic Force

We derive a Hamiltonian version of the PT-symmetric discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation that describes synchronized dynamics of coupled pendula driven by a periodic movement of their common strings. In the limit of weak coupling between the pendula, we classify the existence and spectral stability of breathers (time-periodic solutions localized in the lattice) supported near one pair of cou...

Parametric Excitation of Breathers in aNonlinear

We investigate localized periodic solutions (breathers) in a lattice of parametrically driven, nonlinear dissipative oscillators. These breathers are demonstrated to be exponentially localized, with two characteristic localization lengths. The crossover between the two lengths is shown to be related to the transition in the phase of the lattice oscillations.

Surface magnetoinductive breathers in two-dimensional magnetic metamaterials.

We study discrete surface breathers in two-dimensional lattices of inductively coupled split-ring resonators with capacitive nonlinearity. We consider both conservative (Hamiltonian) and analyze the properties of the modes localized in space and periodic in time (discrete breathers) located in the corners and on the edges of the lattice. We find that surface breathers in the Hamiltonian systems...

Discrete Breathers - Recent Results and Applications

Nontopological spatially localized time periodic excitations coined discrete breathers are generic solutions for lattice Hamiltonians. I present recent results including the spatial decay of discrete breathers in systems with interactions decaying algebraically in space, the properties of the static deformation accompanying a breather excitation in low-symmetry lattice Hamiltonians with Goldsto...

Breathers in the weakly coupled topological discrete sine-Gordon system

Existence of breather (spatially localized, time periodic, oscillatory) solutions of the topological discrete sine-Gordon (TDSG) system, in the regime of weak coupling, is proved. The novelty of this result is that, unlike the systems previously considered in studies of discrete breathers, the TDSG system does not decouple into independent oscillator units in the weak coupling limit. The result...
