Abstract

We study self-acceleration in PT and non-PT symmetric systems. We find some novel wave effects that appear uniquely in non-Hermitian systems. We show that integrable self-accelerating waves exist if the Hamiltonian is non-Hermitian. We find that self-accelerating constant intensity waves are possible even when gain and loss are not balanced in the system.
