Partial-rogue waves, i.e., waves that ``come from nowhere but leave with a trace", are analytically predicted and numerically confirmed in the Sasa-Satsuma equation. We show that, among a class of rational solutions in this equation that can be expressed through determinants of 3-reduced Schur polynomials, partial-rogue waves would arise if these rational solutions are of certain orders, where the associated generalized Okamoto polynomials have real but not imaginary roots, or imaginary but not real roots. We further show that, at large negative time, these partial-rogue waves approach the constant-amplitude background, but at large positive time, they split into several fundamental rational solitons, whose numbers are determined by the number of real or imaginary roots in the underlying generalized Okamoto polynomial. Our asymptotic predictions are compared to true solutions, and excellent agreement is observed.
General rogue wave solutions to the Sasa-Satsuma equation are constructed by the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy reduction method. These solutions are presented in three different forms. The first form is expressed in terms of recursively defined differential operators while the second form shares a similar solution structure except that the differential operators are no longer recursively defined. Instead of using differential operators, the third form is expressed by Schur polynomials.
General breather solution to the Sasa-Satsuma (SS) equation is systematically investigated in this paper. We firstly transform the SS equation into a set of three Hirota bilinear equations under proper plane wave background. Starting from a specially arranged tau-function of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy and a set of eleven bilinear equations satisfied, we implement a series steps of reduction procedure, i.e., C-type reduction, dimension reduction and complex conjugate reduction, and reduce these eleven equations to three bilinear equations for the SS equation. Meanwhile, general breath…
We aim to present and analyze a nonlinear nonlocal reverse-spacetime fifth-order scalar Sasa-Satsuma equation, based on a nonlocal $5 \times 5$ matrix AKNS spectral problem. Starting from a nonlocal matrix AKNS spectral problem, local and nonlocal symmetry relations are derived from a group of rotations. A kind of Riemann-Hilbert problem is formulated, which allows to generate soliton solutions by using vectors lying in the kernel of the matrix Jost solutions. When reflection coefficients are zeros, the jump matrix is the identity and the corresponding Riemann-Hilbert problem yields soliton so…
Squared Eigenfunctions for the Sasa-Satsuma Equation
Squared eigenfunctions are quadratic combinations of Jost functions and adjoint Jost functions which satisfy the linearized equation of an integrable equation. In this article, squared eigenfunctions are derived for the Sasa-Satsuma equation whose spectral operator is a $3\times 3$ system, while its linearized operator is a $2\times 2$ system. It is shown that these squared eigenfunctions are sums of two terms, where each term is a product of a Jost function and an adjoint Jost function. The procedure of this derivation consists of two steps: first is to calculate the variations of the potenti…
The Sasa--Satsuma (complex mKdV II) and the complex sine-Gordon II equation revisited: recursion operators, nonlocal symmetries, and more
我们发现了一个新的辛结构和一个递归算子的Sasa-萨摩方程广泛应用于非线性光学，$$ p_t=p_{xxx}+6 p q p_x+3 p (p q)_x,\quad q_t=q_{xxx}+6 p q q_x+3 q (p q)_x, $$连同一个积分-微分替代连接这个系统的三阶广义对称的复杂sine-Gordon II系统$$ u_{xy}=\frac{v u_x u_y}{u v + c} + (2 u v + c)(u v + c) k u,\qquad v_{xy}=\frac{u v_x v_y}{u v + c} + (2 u v + c)(u v + c) k v, $$，其中$c$和$k$是任意常数。结合这两个结果产生一个高度非局部的遗传递归算子和更高的哈密顿结构的复杂sine-Gordon II系统。我们还证明了Sasa-Satsuma方程和复sine-Gordon II系统的三阶演化对称流都是双Hamilton系统，并为这些系统构造了几个局部和非局部对称性的谱系.
We consider the Sasa-Satsuma (SS) and Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations posed along the line, in 1+1 dimensions. Both equations are canonical integrable $U(1)$ models, with solitons, multi-solitons and breather solutions, see Yang for instance. For these two equations, we recognize four distinct localized breather modes: the Sasa-Satsuma for SS, and for NLS the Satsuma-Yajima, Kuznetsov-Ma and Peregrine breathers. Very little is known about the stability of these solutions, mainly because of their complex structure, which does not fit into the classical soliton behavior by Grillakis-Shatah…
