We study nonlinear systems of hyperbolic PDE’s in Rd , the hyperbolicity is understood in a wider sense, namely multiple roots of the characteristic equation are allowed and dispersive equations are permitted. They describe wave propagation in dispersive nonlinear media such as, for example, electromagnetic waves in nonlinear photonic crystals. The initial data is assumed to be a finite sum of ...

This paper is concerned with interacting wave packet dynamics for long waves. The Kortweg-de Vries equation is the most well-known model for weakly nonlinear long waves. Although the dynamics of a single wave packet in this model is governed by the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation, implying that a plane wave is modulationally stable, the dynamics of two interacting wave packets is gove...

On a bounded smooth domain Ω ⊂ R we study solutions of a semilinear elliptic equation with an exponential nonlinearity and a Hardy potential depending on the distance to ∂Ω. We derive global a priori bounds of the Keller–Osserman type. Using a Phragmen–Lindelöf alternative for generalized sub and super-harmonic functions we discuss existence, nonexistence and uniqueness of so-called large solut...

A nonlinear integro-differential equation of convolution type with order of nonlinearity more than one and a stable trivial solution is considered. The integral in this equation has an exponential kernel and polynomial integrand. The difference analogue of the equation considered is constructed in the form of a difference equation with continuous time and it is shown that this difference analog...

The thermal conductivity of insulating (dielectric) crystals is computed almost exclusively on the basis of the phonon Boltzmann equation. We refer to [1] for a discussion more complete than possible in this contribution. On the microscopic level the starting point is the Born-Oppenheimer approximation (see [2] for a modern version), which provides an effective Hamiltonian for the slow motion o...

In this paper, a new frequency-domain approach to measure and correct the static nonlinearity error of analog-to-digital converters is analyzed. The nonlinearity is measured as a linear combination of the Chebyshev polynomials, whose coefficients are derived via frequency-domain analysis, and corrected with a nonlinear equation solving method, which makes use of the parametric form of the stati...

Various solutions of the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation using this method provide us the firm m...

Dynamic behavior of a circular shaft with geometrical nonlinearity and constant spin, subjected to periodic axial load is investigated. The case of parametric combination resonance is studied. Extension of shaft center line is the source of nonlinearity. The shaft has gyroscopic effect and rotary inertia but shear deformation is neglected. The equations of motion are derived by extended Hamilto...

We investigate the nonlinearity of ultra-low loss Si3N4-core and SiO2-cladding rectangular waveguides. The nonlinearity is modeled using Maxwell's wave equation with a small amount of refractive index perturbation. Effective n2 is used to describe the third-order nonlinearity, which is linearly proportional to the optical intensity. The effective n2 measured using continuous-wave self-phase mod...

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is considered to obtain the solution of the Schrodinger equation with a power law nonlinearity. For this purpose, a theorem is proved to show the convergence of the series solution obtained from the proposed method. Also, an example is solved to illustrate the eciency of the mentioned algorithm and the h-curve is plotted to determine the region ...
