Solitary waves in coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations with spatially inhomogeneous nonlinearities
Using Lie group theory we construct explicit solitary wave solutions of
coupled nonlinear Schrodinger systems with spatially inhomogeneous
nonlinearities. We present the general theory, use it to construct different
families of explicit solutions and study their linear and dynamical stability
On the Existence of Bright Solitons in Cubic-Quintic Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with Inhomogeneous Nonlinearity
We give a proof of the existence of stationary bright soliton solutions of the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with inhomogeneous nonlinearity. By using bifurcation theory, we prove that the norm of the positive solution goes to zero as the parameter λ, called chemical potential in the Bose-Einstein condensates' literature, tends to zero. Moreover, we solve the time-dependent cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with inhomogeneous nonlinearities by using a numerical method
Existence of dark solitons in a class of stationary nonlinear Schrödinger equations with periodically modulated nonlinearity and periodic asymptotics
In this paper, we give a proof of the existence of stationary dark solitonsolutions or heteroclinic orbits of nonlinear equations of Schrödinger type with periodic inhomogeneous nonlinearity. The result is illustrated with examples of dark solitons for cubic and photorefractive nonlinearities.MICINN project FIS2008-0484
Solitons for the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with time and space modulated coefficients
In this paper, we construct, by means of similarity transformations, explicit solutions to the cubic–quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with potentials and nonlinearities depending on both time and spatial coordinates. We present the general approach and use it to calculate bright and dark soliton solutions for nonlinearities and potentials of physical interest in applications to Bose–Einstein condensates and nonlinear optics.project FIS2008-02873 Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovació
Theory and applications to brain tumor dynamics
Extended systems governed by partial differential equations can, under suitable conditions,
be approximated by means of sets of ordinary differential equations for global quantities
capturing the essential features of the systems dynamics. Here we obtain a small number
of effective equations describing the dynamics of single-front and localized solutions of
Fisher–Kolmogorov type equations. These solutions are parametrized by means of a
minimal set of time-dependent quantities for which ordinary differential equations ruling
their dynamics are found. A comparison of the finite dimensional equations and the
dynamics of the full partial differential equation is made showing a very good quantitative
agreement with the dynamics of the partial differential equation. We also discuss some
implications of our findings for the understanding of the growth progression of certain
types of primary brain tumors and discuss possible extensions of our results to related
equations arising in different modeling scenarios

Localized and periodic exact solutions to the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with spatially modulated parameters: Linear and nonlinear lattices
Using similarity transformations we construct explicit solutions of the
nonlinear Schrodinger equation with linear and nonlinear periodic potentials.
We present explicit forms of spatially localized and periodic solutions, and
study their properties. We put our results in the framework of the exploited
perturbation techniques and discuss their implications on the properties of
associated linear periodic potentials and on the possibilities of stabilization
of gap solitons using polychromatic lattices.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure
