Spiral Wave Solutions in Water Waves

Mark J. Ablowitz, Justin T. Cole, Sean D. Nixon

Spiral wave solutions are found in linear and weakly nonlinear irrotational water wave equations. These unsteady spiral waves evolve from suitable initial conditions; they are not…

Collapse dynamics for two-dimensional space-time nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger equations

Justin T. Cole, Abdullah M. Aurko, Ziad H. Musslimani

The question of collapse (blow-up) in finite time is investigated for the two-dimensional (non-integrable) space-time nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger equations. Starting from the tw…

The Haldane Model in a Magneto-optical Honeycomb Lattice

M. J. Ablowitz, J. T. Cole

A two-dimensional honeycomb lattice composed of gyrotropic rods is studied. Beginning with Maxwell's equations, a perturbed Wannier method is introduced which yields a tight-bindin…

On the Whitham system for the (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Mark J. Ablowitz, Justin T. Cole, Igor Rumanov

We derive the Whitham modulation equations for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the plane (2d NLS) with small dispersion. The modulation equations are derived in terms of both…

Transverse Instability of Rogue Waves

Mark J. Ablowitz, Justin T. Cole

Rogue waves are abnormally large waves which appear unexpectedly and have attracted considerable attention, particularly in recent years. The one space, one time (1+1) nonlinear Sc…

Peierls-Nabarro barrier effect in nonlinear Floquet topological insulators

Mark J. Ablowitz, Justin T. Cole, Pipi Hu +1

The Peierls-Nabarro barrier is a discrete effect that frequently occurs in discrete nonlinear systems. A signature of the barrier is the slowing and eventual stopping of discrete s…

Whitham equations and phase shifts for the Korteweg-deVries equation

Mark J. Ablowitz, Justin T. Cole, Igor Rumanov

The semi-classical Korteweg-deVries equation for step-like data is considered with a small parameter in front of the highest derivative. Using perturbation analysis Whitham theory…
