Exact superregular breather solutions to the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonhomogeneous
Abstract:
Superregular breathers are peculiar solutions to the integrable nonlinear Schrödinger equation that constitute the building blocks for analysis of the nonlinear stage of modulation instability developing from a localized perturbation on the nonvanishing condensate background. Here superregular breather solutions are extended to the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonhomogeneous coefficients and in the presence of dissipation. Concrete examples are shown that may allow observation of new solutions in fiber optics where dissipation is unavoidable, nonhomogeneous spatial distribution of the amplification profile can be controlled, and current technology allows design of the longitudinal dispersion profile.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
