Interactions of nonlocal dark solitons under competing cubic–quintic nonlinearities

Abstract: We investigate analytically and numerically the interactions of dark solitons under competing nonlocal cubic and local quintic nonlinearities. It is shown that the self-defocusing quintic nonlinearity will strengthen the attractive interaction and decrease the relative distance between solitons, whereas the self-focusing quintic nonlinearity will enhance the repulsive interaction and increase soliton separation. We demonstrate these results by approximate variational approach and direct numerical simulation.

“…This is the case in non-neutral plasmas [33], where there is a net Coulomb 1/r interaction, in the Calogero-Sutherland * plestird@mcmaster.ca † dodell@mcmaster.ca (CS) model [34][35][36], where particles interact via a 1/r 2 potential, and in dipolar BECs [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], where dipoledipole interactions lead to 1/r 3 interactions. Nonlocal interactions also occur in optical systems, such as those mediated by thermal conduction [45][46][47][48][49], and their consequences have been observed experimentally [50,51]. The CS model is integrable and hence supports true solitons [52][53][54][55], whereas non-neutral plasmas are not integrable systems and only support solitary waves.…”

“…In the first instance, we approximate the two-soliton state as a linear superposition of two individual solitons, with the interaction treated as the spatial overlap of the soliton envelopes. This technique has been previously applied to interaction problems in the NLS [53,54] and Gross-Pitaevskii equations [55,56], in addition to several others [57][58][59][60][61]. An advantage of this method is the ability to derive a set of variational equations which describe the motion of the solitons.…”
