The cubic nonlinear Schroedinger equation (NLS) describes the space-time evolution of narrow-banded wave trains in one space and one time (1 + 1) dimensions. The richness of nonlinear wave motions described by NLS is exemplified by the fully nonlinear envelope soliton and “breather” solutions, which are fully understood only in terms of the general solution of the equation as described by the i...

We consider a system of two coupled ordinary differential equations which appears as an envelope equation in Bose–Einstein Condensation. This system can be viewed as a nonlinear extension of the celebrated model introduced by Landau and Zener. We show how the nonlinear system may appear from different physical models. We focus our attention on the large time behavior of the solution. We show th...

We study light scattering by cylindrical multilayer structures containing Kerr-type nonlinear materials. We develop a new semi-analytical method for solving such nonlinear problems by reducing the original 2D system by a 1D nonlinear Helmholtz equation. We apply our method for the case of wave scattering by the core-shell metal-dielectric nanowire and show that the nonlinearity allows us to con...

The ship Kelvin-wake models on two-dimensional (2-D) linear and nonlinear sea surfaces are combined with the second-order small-slope approximation method (SSA-II) to comparatively study the corresponding electromagnetic (EM) scattering characteristics. The nonlinear sea-surface models include the Choppy Wave Model (CWM) and the second-order Creamer model (Creamer (2)). Considering the limitati...

Our prior work has shown that high quality (Q) factor whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in liquid microdroplets can potentially induce single-photon-level nonlinear effects through radiation pressure on the interface. However, little is known about the nonlinear effects of other processes involving scattering force and thermocapillarity. In this study, we establish a numerical framework that can ...

Results of a self-consistent computational analysis based on a mathematical model of resonance scattering and generation of waves on an isotropic nonmagnetic nonlinear layered dielectric structure excited by a packet of plane waves are presented, where the analysis is performed in the domain of resonance frequencies. Physically interesting properties of the nonlinear permittivities of the layer...
