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

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

Self-adaptive moving mesh schemes for short pulse type equations and their Lax pairs

Integrable self-adaptive moving mesh schemes for short pulse type equations (the short pulse equation, the coupled short pulse equation, and the complex short pulse equation) are investigated. Two systematic methods, one is based on bilinear equations and another is based on Lax pairs, are shown. Self-adaptive moving mesh schemes consist of two semi-discrete equations in which the time is continuous and the space is discrete. In self-adaptive moving mesh schemes, one of two equations is an evolution equation of mesh intervals which is deeply related to a discrete analogue of a reciprocal (hodograph) transformation. An evolution equations of mesh intervals is a discrete analogue of a conservation law of an original equation, and a set of mesh intervals corresponds to a conserved density which play an important role in generation of adaptive moving mesh. Lax pairs of self-adaptive moving mesh schemes for short pulse type equations are obtained by discretization of Lax pairs of short pulse type equations, thus the existence of Lax pairs guarantees the integrability of self-adaptive moving mesh schemes for short pulse type equations. It is also shown that self-adaptive moving mesh schemes for short pulse type equations provide good numerical results by using standard time-marching methods such as the improved Euler's method.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures, To be appeared in Journal of Math-for-Industr

On the τ\tau-functions of the reduced Ostrovsky equation and the A2(2)A_2^{(2)} two-dimensional Toda system

The reciprocal link between the reduced Ostrovsky equation and the $A_2^{(2)}$ two-dimensional Toda system is used to construct the $N$-soliton solution of the reduced Ostrovsky equation. The $N$-soliton solution of the reduced Ostrovsky equation is presented in the form of pfaffian through a hodograph (reciprocal) transformation. The bilinear equations and the $\tau$-function of the reduced Ostrovsky equation are obtained from the period 3-reduction of the $B_{\infty}$ or $C_{\infty}$ two-dimensional Toda system, i.e., the $A_2^{(2)}$ two-dimensional Toda system. One of $\tau$-functions of the $A_2^{(2)}$ two-dimensional Toda system becomes the square of a pfaffian which also become a solution of the reduced Ostrovsky equation. There is another bilinear equation which is a member of the 3-reduced extended BKP hierarchy. Using this bilinear equation, we can also construct the same pfaffian solution.Comment: 16 pages, several typos were correcte
