Abstract:
The existence and stability of exact continuous-wave and dark-soliton solutions to a system consisting of the cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) equation linearly coupled with a linear dissipative equation is studied. We demonstrate the existence of vast regions in the system's parameter space associated with stable dark-soliton solutions, having the form of the Nozaki-Bekki envelope holes, in contrast to the case of the conventional CGL equation, where they are unstable. In the case when the dark soliton is unstable, two different types of instability are identified. The proposed stabilized model may be realized in terms of a dual-core nonlinear optical fiber, with one core active and one passive.

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...

BIBO stability of continuous and discrete -time systems
To determine the BIBO stability, the convolution integral is utilized when a bounded continuous-time input is applied to a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system.
Pole and System Stability
Simple poles are unique roots of the denominator polynomial. Each simple pole corresponds to a distinct solution to the system's characteristic equation, typically resulting in exponential decay terms in the system's response.
Stability
The stability of an LTI system is determined by the roots of its characteristic equation, known as poles. A system is stable if it produces a bounded...
