As an extension of the class of nonlinear PT-symmetric models, we propose a system of sine-Gordon equations, with the PT symmetry represented by balanced gain and loss in them. The equations are coupled by sine-field terms and first-order derivatives. The sinusoidal coupling stems from local interaction between adjacent particles in coupled...

We demonstrate that time-periodic modulation of the nonlinearity coefficient in the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation strongly facilitates creation of traveling solitons in the lattice. We predict this possibility in a semiqualitative form analytically, and test it in direct numerical simulations. Systematic computations reveal several...

We introduce a two-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation with self-attractive cubic nonlinearity in a rotating reference frame. The model applies to a Bose-Einstein condensate stirred by a rotating strong optical lattice, or light propagation in a twisted bundle of nonlinear fibers. Two types of localized states are...

We introduce a generalized version of the Ablowitz-Ladik model with a power-law nonlinearity, as a discretization of the continuum nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation with the same type of the nonlinearity. The model opens a way to study the interplay of discreteness and nonlinearity features. We identify stationary discretesoliton states for...

We demonstrate a possibility to make rogue waves (RWs) in the form of the Peregrine soliton (PS) and Kuznetsov-Ma breathers (KMBs) effectively stable objects, with the help of properly defined dispersion or nonlinearity management applied to the continuous-wave (CW) background supporting the RWs. In particular, it is found that either...

We study families of one-dimensional matter-wave bright solitons supported by the competition of contact and dipole-dipole (DD) interactions of opposite signs. Soliton families are found, and their stability is investigated in the free space and in the presence of an optical lattice (OL). Free-space solitons may exist with an arbitrarily weak...

We study the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger lattice model with the onsite nonlinearity of the general form, |u|2σu|u|2σu. We systematically verify the conditions for the existence and stability of discrete solitons in the one-dimensional version of the model predicted by means of the variational approximation (VA), and demonstrate the...

We study four diferent approximations for finding the profile of discrete solitons in the one-dimensional Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) Equation. Three of them are discrete approximations (namely, a variational approach, an approximation to homo- clinic orbits and a Green-function approach), and the other one is a quasi-continuum...

The interaction of matter-wave solitons with a potential barrier is a fundamentally important problem, and the splitting and subsequent recombination of the soliton by the barrier is the essence of soliton matter-wave interferometry. We demonstrate the three-dimensional (3D) character of the interactions in the case relevant to ongoing...

We revisit the problem of transverse instability of a 2D breather stripe of the sine-Gordon (sG) equation. A numerically computed Floquet spectrum of the stripe is compared to ana- lytical predictions developed by means of multiple-scale perturbation theory showing good agreement in the long-wavelength limit. By means of direct simulations, it...
