Rogue waves in the Davey-Stewartson equation

General rogue waves in the Davey-Stewartson-I equation are derived by the bilinear method. It is shown that the simplest (fundamental) rogue waves are line rogue waves which arise from the constant background with a line profile and then disappear into the constant background again. It is also shown that multi-rogue waves describe the interaction of several fundamental rogue waves. These multi-rogue waves also arise from the constant background and then decay back to it, but in the intermediate times, interesting curvy wave patterns appear. However, higher-order rogue waves are found to show more interesting features. Specifically, only part of the wave structure in the higher-order rogue waves rises from the constant background and then retreats back to it, and this transient wave exhibits novel patterns such as parabolas. But the other part of the wave structure comes from the far distance as a localized lump, which decelerates to the near field and interacts with the transient rogue wave, and is then reflected back and accelerates to the large distance again. These rogue-wave solutions have interesting implications for two-dimensional surface water waves in the ocean.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure

NN-Bright-Dark Soliton Solution to a Semi-Discrete Vector Nonlinear Schr\"odinger Equation

In this paper, a general bright-dark soliton solution in the form of Pfaffian is constructed for an integrable semi-discrete vector NLS equation via Hirota's bilinear method. One- and two-bright-dark soliton solutions are explicitly presented for two-component semi-discrete NLS equation; two-bright-one-dark, and one-bright-two-dark soliton solutions are also given explicitly for three-component semi-discrete NLS equation. The asymptotic behavior is analysed for two-soliton solutions

Integrable discretizations for the short wave model of the Camassa-Holm equation

The link between the short wave model of the Camassa-Holm equation (SCHE) and bilinear equations of the two-dimensional Toda lattice (2DTL) is clarified. The parametric form of N-cuspon solution of the SCHE in Casorati determinant is then given. Based on the above finding, integrable semi-discrete and full-discrete analogues of the SCHE are constructed. The determinant solutions of both semi-discrete and fully discrete analogues of the SCHE are also presented

N-Dark-Dark Solitons in the Generally Coupled Nonlinear Schroedinger Equations

N-dark-dark solitons in the generally coupled integrable NLS equations are derived by the KP-hierarchy reduction method. These solitons exist when nonlinearities are all defocusing, or both focusing and defocusing nonlinearities are mixed. When these solitons collide with each other, energies in both components of the solitons completely transmit through. This behavior contrasts collisions of bright-bright solitons in similar systems, where polarization rotation and soliton reflection can take place. It is also shown that in the mixed-nonlinearity case, two dark-dark solitons can form a stationary bound state.Comment: 26 pages, 3 figure

Integrable semi-discretizations of the reduced Ostrovsky equation

Based on our previous work to the reduced Ostrovsky equation (J. Phys. A 45 355203), we construct its integrable semi-discretizations. Since the reduced Ostrovsky equation admits two alternative representations, one is its original form, the other is the differentiation form, or the short wave limit of the Degasperis-Procesi equation, two semi- discrete analogues of the reduced Ostrovsky equation are constructed possessing the same N-loop soliton solution. The relationship between these two versions of semi-discretizations is also clarified.Comment: J. Phys. A: Mathematical and Theoretical, to be publishe
