Title: | Solitons in the Salerno model with competing nonlinearities |
Authors: | Gómez-Gardeñes, Jesús; Malomed, B. A.; Floría, Luis Mario; Bishop, A. R. | Issue Date: | 14-Mar-2006 | Publisher: | American Physical Society | Citation: | Physical Review E 73: 036608 (2006) | Abstract: | We consider a lattice equation Salerno model combining onsite self-focusing and intersite self-defocusing cubic terms, which may describe a Bose-Einstein condensate of dipolar atoms trapped in a strong periodic potential. In the continuum approximation, the model gives rise to solitons in a finite band of frequencies, with sechlike solitons near one edge, and an exact peakon solution at the other. A similar family of solitons is found in the discrete system, including a peakon; beyond the peakon, the family continues in the form of cuspons. Stability of the lattice solitons is explored through computation of eigenvalues for small perturbations, and by direct simulations. A small part of the family is unstable in that case, the discrete solitons transform into robust pulsonic excitations ; both peakons and cuspons are stable. The Vakhitov-Kolokolov criterion precisely explains the stability of regular solitons and peakons, but does not apply to cuspons. In-phase and out-of-phase bound states of solitons are also constructed. They exchange their stability at a point where the bound solitons are peakons. Mobile solitons, composed of a moving core and background, exist up to a critical value of the strength of the self-defocusing intersite nonlinearity. Colliding solitons always merge into a single pulse. | Description: | 8 pages, 10 figures. | Publisher version (URL): | http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.73.036608 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/19655 | DOI: | 10.1103/PhysRevE.73.036608 | ISSN: | 0556-2813 |
