Abstract
Novel soliton structures are constructed for the Fokas–Lenells equation. In so doing, and after discussing the stability of continuous waves, a multiple scales based perturbation theory is used to reduce the equation to a Korteweg–de Vries system whose single soliton solution gives rise to intricate (and rather unexpected) solutions to the original system. Both the focusing and defocusing equations are considered and it is found that dark solitons may exist in both cases while in the focusing case antidark solitons are also possible. These findings are quite surprising as the relative nonlinear Schrödinger equation does not exhibit these solutions. So far, similar abundance of solutions has only been observed in relative coupled systems.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
