Bright, dark soliton for cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrodinger

In summary, the conversation discusses a stationary cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrodinger equation with bright and dark solitons. It is mentioned that there is a mistake in the dark soliton solution when substituted into the equation, and a request is made for a reference to a paper with the correct solution.

For a given stationary cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrodinger equation,
EU=-U_XX+G1|U|^2U+G2 |U|^4 U, where X=X(t,x). There are bright and dark solitons. In many references, it is found that there is typo or mistake in dark soliton by substituting their soliton solution to this above eqaution. The bright case is OK, but the dark soliton case is incorrect. Could you please so kind point out where or which reference we can find their correct soliton solutions

Many thanks for your kind help.

Related to Bright, dark soliton for cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrodinger

1. What is a soliton in physics?

A soliton is a self-reinforcing solitary wave that maintains its shape and speed while propagating through a medium.

2. What is the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrodinger equation?

The cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrodinger equation is a mathematical model used to study the behavior of solitons in a nonlinear medium. It takes into account both cubic and quintic nonlinear effects, making it a more accurate representation of soliton dynamics compared to the regular nonlinear Schrodinger equation.

3. How is a bright soliton different from a dark soliton?

A bright soliton is a type of soliton with a peak or hump in its amplitude, while a dark soliton has a dip or depression in its amplitude. The two types of solitons have opposite phase profiles and exhibit different behaviors in a medium.

4. What are the applications of bright and dark solitons?

Bright and dark solitons have numerous applications in physics, including optical fiber communications, Bose-Einstein condensates, and ocean waves. They can also be used to study nonlinear phenomena and pattern formation in various systems.

5. How are cubic and quintic nonlinear effects important in studying solitons?

Cubic and quintic nonlinear effects play a crucial role in determining the stability and dynamics of solitons. In some cases, they can either support or destabilize solitons, leading to interesting behaviors such as soliton collisions and interactions.
