Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Universe is devoted to recent developments in the theory of optical soliton perturbation in mathematical physics and its applications.

Optical soliton perturbation is one of the most fascinating areas of research in the field of mathematical physics. Optical soliton is used to describe the dynamics of soliton propagation through optical fibers and other forms of waveguides such as crystals, couplers, metamaterials, metasurfaces, Bragg gratings, and photonic crystal fibers. A variety of models have been proposed to govern the dynamics of such soliton propagation across transcontinental and transoceanic distances. They are Chen–Lee–Liu equation, Sasa–Satsuma model, Gerdjikov–Ivanov equation, Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel model, Schrödinger–Hirota equation, and a variety of other such models. These models are considered with perturbation terms to describe a generalized perspective to optical soliton propagation dynamics. Some such perturbation terms are Hamiltonian type, non-local type, stochastic type, as well as a variety of other forms. The governing models are also studied in the context of nonlinear optics with non-Kerr law nonlinearities such as power law, parabolic law, dual-power law, quadratic–cubic law, anti-cubic law, cubic–quintic–septic law, polynomial law, log law, and a variety of other law nonlinearities. The extraction of optical solitons with the perturbed governing models has drawn lots of attention in mathematical physics. Thus, there has been several mathematical techniques that have been implemented to address such optical solitons. These include the method of undetermined coefficients, Lie symmetry analysis, extended trial equation method, and several others. Several advances have been made and a plethora of results have been reported, but there are still developments to be retrieved new results on optical soliton perturbation.

This Special Issue of Universe features articles about all aspects of optical solitons, perturbation, non-Kerr laws, polarization, birefringence, dense wavelength division multiplexed system, couplers, Bragg gratings, dispersive solitons, cubic-quartic solitons, highly dispersive solitons, pure-cubic solitons, and chirped solitons.

We look forward to your contributions of review and original research articles dealing with the recent topics and advances in optical soliton perturbation. The published papers in this Special Issue of Universe could provide crucial examples and possible new research avenues for further advancements.

Please note that all submitted papers must be within the general scope of the Universe journal.

In this article, a Ricci soliton and *-conformal Ricci soliton are examined in the framework of trans-Sasakian three-manifold. In the beginning of the paper, it is shown that a three-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold of type (α,β) admits a Ricci soliton where the covariant derivative of potential vector field V in the direction of unit vector field ξ is orthogonal to ξ. It is also demonstrated that if the structure functions meet α2=β2, then the covariant derivative of V in the direction of ξ is a constant multiple of ξ. Furthermore, the nature of scalar curvature is evolved when the manifold of type (α,β) satisfies *-conformal Ricci soliton, provided α0. Finally, an example is presented to verify the findings.

In this paper, the extended simple equation method (ESEM) and the generalized Riccati equation mapping (GREM) method are applied to the nonlinear third-order Gilson–Pickering (GP) model to obtain a variety of new exact wave solutions. With the suitable selection of parameters involved in the model, some familiar physical governing models such as the Camassa–Holm (CH) equation, the Fornberg–Whitham (FW) equation, and the Rosenau–Hyman (RH) equation are obtained. The graphical representation of solutions under different constraints shows the dark, bright, combined dark–bright, periodic, singular, and kink soliton. For the graphical representation, 3D plots, contour plots, and 2D plots of some acquired solutions are illustrated. The obtained wave solutions motivate researchers to enhance their theories to the best of their capacities and to utilize the outcomes in other nonlinear cases. The executed methods are shown to be practical and straightforward for approaching the considered equation and may be utilized to study abundant types of NLEEs arising in physics, engineering, and applied sciences.

In this scientific research article, the new Kudryashov method and the tanh-coth method, which have not been applied before, are employed to construct analytical and soliton solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Hirota–Maccari system. The (2+1)-dimensional Hirota–Maccari system is a special kind of nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSEs) that models the motion of isolated waves localized in a small part of space, and is used in such various fields as fiber optics telecommunication systems, nonlinear optics, plasma physics, and hydrodynamics. In addition, the Hirota–Maccari system defines the dynamical characters of femtosecond soliton pulse propagation in single-mode fibers. Analytical solutions of the model are successfully acquired with the assistance of symbolic computation utilizing these methods. Finally, 3D, 2D, and contour graphs of solutions are depicted at specific values of parameters. It is shown that the new Kudryashov method and the tanh-coth method are uncomplicated, very effective, easily applicable, reliable, and indeed vital mathematical tools in solving nonlinear models.

The main purpose of this research is to propose a new methodology to observe a class of time-fractional generalized fifth-order Korteweg–de Vries equations. Laplace transform along with a homotopy perturbation algorithm is utilized for the solution and analysis purpose in the current study. This extended technique provides improved and convergent series solutions through symbolic computation. The proposed methodology is applied to time-fractional Sawada–Kotera, Ito, Lax’s, and Kaup–Kupershmidt models, which are induced from a generalized fifth-order KdV equation. For validity purposes, obtained and existing results at integral orders are compared. Convergence analysis was also performed by computing solutions and errors at different values in a fractional domain. Dynamic behavior of the fractional parameter is also studied graphically. Simulations affirm the dominance of the proposed algorithm in terms of accuracy and fewer computations as compared to other available schemes for fractional KdVs. Hence, the projected algorithm can be utilized for more advanced fractional models in physics and engineering. Full article

The current work addresses cubic–quartic solitons to compensate for the low count of the chromatic dispersion that is one of the major hindrances of soliton transmission through optical fibers. Thus, the present paper handles the cubic–quartic version of the perturbed Fokas–Lenells equation that governs soliton communications across trans-oceanic and trans-continental distances. The model is also considered with the power-law form of nonlinear refractive index that is a sequel to the previously reported result. This is a tremendous advancement to the previously known result that was only with the Kerr-law form of nonlinear refractive index. The present paper mainly contributes by generalizing the Kerr law of nonlinearity to the power law of nonlinearity. The prior results therefore fall back as a special case to the results of this paper. The semi-inverse variational principle yields a bright 1-soliton solution that is imperative for the telecommunication engineers to carry out experimental investigation before the rubber meets the road. Hamiltonian perturbation terms are included that come with maximum intensity. The soliton amplitude–width relation is retrievable from a polynomial equation with arbitrary degree. The parameter constraints are also identified for the soliton to exist. Full article

Model construction for different physical situations, and developing their solutions, are the major characteristics of the scientific work in physics and engineering. Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) models are very important due to their ability to capture different physical situations such as thin film flows and waves on shallow water surfaces. In this work, a new approach for predicting and analyzing nonlinear time-fractional coupled KdV systems is proposed based on Laplace transform and homotopy perturbation along with Caputo fractional derivatives. This algorithm provides a convergent series solution by applying simple steps through symbolic computations. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is tested against different nonlinear time-fractional KdV systems, including dispersive long wave and generalized Hirota–Satsuma KdV systems. For validity purposes, the obtained results are compared with the existing solutions from the literature. The convergence of the proposed algorithm over the entire fractional domain is confirmed by finding solutions and errors at various values of fractional parameters. Numerical simulations clearly reassert the supremacy and capability of the proposed technique in terms of accuracy and fewer computations as compared to other available schemes. Analysis reveals that the projected scheme is reliable and hence can be utilized with other kernels in more advanced systems in physics and engineering. Full article
