Structural Stability of Non - Ground State TravelingWaves

چکیده
We consider the linear stability and structural stability of non-ground state traveling waves of a pair of coupled nonlinear Schrr odinger equations (CNLS) which describe the evolution of co-propagating polarized pulses in the presence of birefringence. Viewing the CNLS equations as a Hamiltonian perturbation of the Manakov equations, we nd parameter regimes in which there are two stable families of traveling waves. The usual variational methods for stability analysis of ground states does not apply. Instead we employ a Liapunov-Schmidt type reduction to detect eigenvalues bifurcating from the imaginary axis. We also demonstrate the instability of a family of vector solitons.

متن کاملEvaluation of Nonlinear Response of Structures to Near-Fault Ground Motions and the Comparison of Results with Near-Fault Simulated Records
Near-fault ground motions have caused very much damage in the vicinity of seismic sources during recent earthquakes. It is well known that under specific circumstances, intensive ground shakings near fault ruptures may be characterized by short-duration impulsive motions. This pulse-type motion is generally particular to the forward direction, where the fault rupture propagates towards the site...
متن کاملThe Stability Assessment of Dasht-e-Abbas Pressure Intake Tunnel Subjected to Ground Strength Reduction-Iran
The hydraulic pressure is one of the most important factors in the design of pressure intake tunnels. Since the surrounding media cannot usually resist the high internal pressure of these tunnels, they are usually finished with an adequate lining mostly of reinforced concrete, which is an interaction problem between water, soil or rock and concrete lining. Although reinforcing the concrete lini...
متن کاملInfluence of Ground Motion Duration on the Structural Response at Multiple Seismic Intensity Levels
This paper aims to investigate the effects of motion duration on the structural seismic demands, seeking potential correlations between motion durations and structural responses at several seismic intensity levels. Three seismic intensity levels with 100years, 475years, and 2475years earthquake return periods (RPs) are first considered for correlation computations. Spectrally matched ground mot...
متن کاملOn the stability of a non-supersymmetric ground state
We consider the gauged N = 2 (simple) supersymmetric seven-dimensional ( d = 7 ) supergravity theory with the scalar field potential having two critical points. Applying a modified Witten argument reduces the question of stability to deciding if a particular non-linear ordinary differential equation has a global solution. We show that it does and that therefore the non-supersymmetric ground sta...
