The existence and stability of solitons in discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations

In this thesis, we investigate analytically and numerically the existence and stability of discrete solitons governed by discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equations with two types of nonlinearity, i.e., cubic and saturable nonlinearities. In the cubic-type model we consider stationary discrete solitons under the effect of parametric driving and combined parametric driving and damping, while in the saturable-type model we examine travelling lattice solitons. First, we study fundamental bright and dark discrete solitons in the driven cubic DNLS equation. Analytical calculations of the solitons and their stability are carried out for small coupling constant through a perturbation expansion. We observe that the driving can not only destabilise onsite bright and dark solitons, but also stabilise intersite bright and dark solitons. In addition, we also discuss a particular application of our DNLS model in describing microdevices and nanodevices with integrated electrical and mechanical functionality. By following the idea of the work above, we then consider the cubic DNLS equation with the inclusion of parametric driving and damping. We show that this model admits a number of types of onsite and intersite bright discrete solitons of which some experience saddle-node and pitchfork bifurcations. Most interestingly, we also observe that some solutions undergo Hopf bifurcations from which periodic solitons (limit cycles) emerge. By using the numerical continuation software Matcont, we perform the continuation of the limit cycles and determine the stability of the periodic solitons. Finally, we investigate travelling discrete solitons in the saturable DNLS equation. A numerical scheme based on the discretization of the equation in the moving coordinate frame is derived and implemented using the Newton-Raphson method to find traveling solitons with non-oscillatory tails, i.e., embedded solitons. A variational approximation (VA) is also applied to examine analytically the travelling solitons and their stability, as well as to predict the location of the embedded solitons

Pada paper ini dibahas formulasi model optimasi sederhana untuk menentukan skenario terbaik dalam proses evakuasi tsunami. Model ini kemudian diselesaikandengan mengambil Kota Padang sebagai studi kasus. Dalam hal ini, objek observasi dibatasi pada beberapa kelurahan di Kota Padang yang dinilai memiliki dampak resiko terbesar jika terjadi tsunami. Masalah pemrograman linier yang muncul pada model diselesaikan secara numerik dengan menggunakan metode simpleks. Hasil-hasil perhitungan menunjukkan bahwa waktu evakuasi di kelurahan-kelurahan yang rawan memungkinkan kurang dari 15 menit, dengan asumsi adanya shelter tambahan yang dapat diakses oleh penduduk di Kelurahan Air Tawar Barat, Kelurahan Ulak Karang Utara, dan Kelurahan Ulak Karang Selatan.

Modeling Of A Magnet-Spring System With Damping

This research discusses the modeling of a magnet-spring system by taking into account the damping factor. This magnet-spring model represents the movement of a magnet suspended from the ceiling at the bottom of a spring, and directly below it, there is another identical magnet permanently fixed on the floor. The modeling of this system is a continuation of the study by Fay and Med (2005), which discussed the same system but ignored the damping factor

Pembangkitan Pola Simetri p2mm dari Simulasi Sistem Dinamik

Pola simetri p2mm adalah wallpaper group yang mempunyai simetri rotasi , refleksi terhadap sumbu-x dan sumbu-y, dan translasi terhadap sumbu-x dan sumbu-y. Dalam artikel ini, pola simetri p2mm berwarna dibangkitkan melalui sebuah simulasi sistem dinamik diskrit menggunakan aplikasi Matlab, dengan terlebih dahulu melakukan analisis terhadap syarat dan pemilihan pada fungsi dinamiknya. Dalam pembangkitan pola p2mm ini, setiap titik pada bidang dijadikan sebagai titik awal pada iterasi sistem dinamik diskrit, dan jumlah iterasi yang dihasilkan menentukan warna pada titik tersebut. Dengan menggunakan beberapa kombinasi nilai-nilai parameter pada fungsi dinamik, diperoleh variasi pola-pola p2mm yang menarik dan estetis

This article discusses the development of the cubic spline interpolation method for a clamped boundary condition taken from finite-difference explicit formulas with higher-order accuracy. The development of this method is applied to an object tracking problem. In particular, this problem is examined for second-order clamped cubic spline, and the interpolated results are compared with those for natural and first-order clamped cubic splines. From the simulation of trajectory data generated from the Archimedean spiral curve, the total error values for natural, first-order, and second-order clamped cubic splines are respectively ,  and . Based on these results, it is concluded that the second-order clamped cubic spline interpolation developed in this article can produce a more accurate object trajectory than the natural and first-order clamped cubic splines

CLASSIFICATION OF TODDLER’S NUTRITIONAL STATUS USING THE ROUGH SET ALGORITHM

The health and nutrition of children at the age of five are very important aspects in the children’s growth and development. An assessment of the nutritional status of toddlers that is commonly used is anthropometry. This study aims to obtain the decision rules used to classify toddlers into nutritional status groups using the rough set algorithm and determine the level of classification accuracy of the resulting decision rules. The index used in this study is the weight-for-age index. Attributes used in this study were the mother’s education level, mother’s level of knowledge, the status of exclusive breastfeeding, history of illness in the last month, and nutritional status of toddlers. The results of the analysis show that there are 21 decision rules. In this study, the resulting decision rules experience inconsistencies. The selection of decision rules that experience inconsistencies is based on each decision rule’s highest strength value.  The rough set algorithm can be used for the classification process with an accuracy rate of 86.36%

Benchmarking of the Split-Step Fourier Method on Solving a Soliton Propagation Equation in a Nonlinear Optical Medium

Benchmarking of the numerical split-step Fourier method in solving a soliton propagation equation in a nonlinear optical medium is considered. This study is carried out by comparing the solutions calculated by numerics with those obtained by analytics. In particular, the soliton propagation equation used as the object of observation is the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation, which describes optical solitons in optical fiber. By using the split-step Fourier method, we show that the split-step Fourier method is accurate. We also confirm that the nonlinear and dispersion parameters of the optical fiber influence the soliton propagation
