Stationary Solitons of the Fifth Order KdV-type Equations and their Stabilization

Exact stationary soliton solutions of the fifth order KdV type equation $$u_t +\alpha u^p u_x +\beta u_{3x}+\gamma u_{5x} = 0$$ are obtained for any p ($>0$) in case $\alpha\beta>0$, $D\beta>0$, $\beta\gamma<0$ (where D is the soliton velocity), and it is shown that these solutions are unstable with respect to small perturbations in case $p\geq 5$. Various properties of these solutions are discussed. In particular, it is shown that for any p, these solitons are lower and narrower than the corresponding $\gamma = 0$ solitons. Finally, for p = 2 we obtain an exact stationary soliton solution even when $D,\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ are all $>0$ and discuss its various properties.Comment: 8 pages, no figure

Dynamics of Solitons and Quasisolitons of Cubic Third-Order Nonlinear Schr\"odinger Equation

The dynamics of soliton and quasisoliton solutions of cubic third order nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation is studied. The regular solitons exist due to a balance between the nonlinear terms and (linear) third order dispersion; they are not important at small $\alpha_3$ ($\alpha_3$ is the coefficient in the third derivative term) and vanish at $\alpha_3 \to 0$. The most essential, at small $\alpha_3$, is a quasisoliton emitting resonant radiation (resonantly radiating soliton). Its relationship with the other (steady) quasisoliton, called embedded soliton, is studied analytically and in numerical experiments. It is demonstrated that the resonantly radiating solitons emerge in the course of nonlinear evolution, which shows their physical significance

A superdimension formula for gl(m|n) modules

We give a formula for the superdimension of a finite-dimensional simple gl(m|n)-module using the Su-Zhang character formula. As a corollary, we obtain a simple algebraic proof of a conjecture of Kac-Wakimoto for gl(m|n), namely, a simple module has nonzero superdimension if and only if it has maximal degree of atypicality. This conjecture was proven originally by Serganova using the Duflo-Serganova associated variety.Comment: 7 pages, no figure

Building up on SIDAN: improved and new invariants for a software hardening Frama-C plugin

We present improvements made on SIDAN, an intrusion detection system working at the software level. The operating principle of SIDAN consists in statically computing invariant properties of the targeted programs and in generating an instrumentation to check those properties at runtime, in order to detect attacks. More precisely, it focuses on invariants involving the values of variables of the program. It checks these invariants when calling functions. We present improvements on the existing invariants used by SIDAN and propose new invariants as well. We also describe how these have been implemented in SIDAN by using the Frama-C framework, and how they could improve its attack detection capabilities

Dynamics of shallow dark solitons in a trapped gas of impenetrable bosons

The dynamics of linear and nonlinear excitations in a Bose gas in the Tonks-Girardeau (TG) regime with longitudinal confinement are studied within a mean field theory of quintic nonlinearity. A reductive perturbation method is used to demonstrate that the dynamics of shallow dark solitons, in the presence of an external potential, can effectively be described by a variable-coefficient Korteweg-de Vries equation. The soliton oscillation frequency is analytically obtained to be equal to the axial trap frequency, in agreement with numerical predictions obtained by Busch {\it et al.} [J. Phys. B {\bf 36}, 2553 (2003)] via the Bose-Fermi mapping. We obtain analytical expressions for the evolution of both soliton and emitted radiation (sound) profiles.Comment: 4 pages, Phys. Rev.

Magnetosonic solitons in a dusty plasma slab

The existence of magnetosonic solitons in dusty plasmas is investigated. The nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic equations for a warm dusty magnetoplasma are thus derived. A solution of the nonlinear equations is presented. It is shown that, due to the presence of dust, static structures are allowed. This is in sharp contrast to the formation of the so called shocklets in usual magnetoplasmas. A comparatively small number of dust particles can thus drastically alter the behavior of the nonlinear structures in magnetized plasmas.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure

Exercice de style

We present the construction and implementation of an 8-bit S-box with a differential and linear branch number of 3. We show an application by designing FLY, a simple block cipher based on bitsliced evaluations of the S-box and bit rotations that targets the same platforms as PRIDE, and which can be seen as a variant of PRESENT with 8-bit S-boxes. It achieves the same performance as PRIDE on 8-bit microcontrollers (in terms of number of instructions per round) while having 1.5 times more equivalent active S-boxes. The S-box also has an efficient implementation with SIMD instructions, a low implementation cost in hardware and it can be masked efficiently thanks to its sparing use of non-linear gates.Cette note présente la construction et l'implémentation d'une boîte S sur 8 bits qui a un branchement linéaire et différentiel de 3.Nous montrons une application en construisant un chiffre par bloc sur 64 bits dont la structure est très simple et est basée sur l'évaluationen tranches (bitsliced) de la boîte S et des rotations sur mots de 8 bits et qui peut être vu comme une variante de PRESENT avec une boîte S de 8 bits. La fonction de tour de ce chiffre peut s'implémenter avec le même nombred'instructions que celle de PRIDE sur micro-controleurs 8-bits, tout en ayant 1,5 fois plus de boîtes S actives (relativement).Cette boîte S peut aussi s'implémenter efficacement avec des instructions SIMD, a un coût faible en matériel etpeut se masquer efficacement grâce au peu de portes non-linéaires nécessaires

Chaotic behaviour of nonlinear waves and solitons of perturbed Korteweg - de Vries equation

This paper considers properties of nonlinear waves and solitons of Korteweg-de Vries equation in the presence of external perturbation. For time-periodic hamiltonian perturbation the width of the stochastic layer is calculated. The conclusions about chaotic behaviour in long-period waves and solitons are inferred. Obtained theoretical results find experimental confirmation in experiments with the propagation of ion-acoustic waves in plasma.Comment: 7 pages, LaTeX, 2 Postscript figures, submitted to Reports on Mathematical Physic
