Abstract
We construct novel non-autonomous positons, breather-positons, and breather molecules for the variable-coefficient Kundu-nonlinear Schrödinger equation —a key model for pulse propagation in optical fibers. Through degenerate Darboux transformation, we reveal intricate dynamics previously unattainable. For non-autonomous positon solution, generalized asymptotic analysis method yields exact expressions of asymptotic solitons with logarithmic trajectories. Arising from the different non-autonomous breather-positon, we give the non-autonomous rogue wave generation process and other results. For the non-autonomous breather molecule, the related dynamic behaviors under the periodic, exponential and hyperbolic function parameters are explored by the characteristic line analysis. This work provides a unified framework for investigating degenerate complex waves in inhomogeneous optical media.
期刊介绍:
Wave Motion is devoted to the cross fertilization of ideas, and to stimulating interaction between workers in various research areas in which wave propagation phenomena play a dominant role. The description and analysis of wave propagation phenomena provides a unifying thread connecting diverse areas of engineering and the physical sciences such as acoustics, optics, geophysics, seismology, electromagnetic theory, solid and fluid mechanics.
The journal publishes papers on analytical, numerical and experimental methods. Papers that address fundamentally new topics in wave phenomena or develop wave propagation methods for solving direct and inverse problems are of interest to the journal.
