Published: September 2012

The impact of some higher-order effects (HOEs), namely, intrapulse Raman scattering, self-steepening, and third-order dispersion, on a chaotic pulsating soliton, solution of the quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, is numerically investigated. We show that a proper combination of the three HOEs can control the pulse chaotic behavior and provide a fixed-shape solution. The region of existence of fixed-shape pulses is also presented for some range of the parameter values.

Soft, elastically deformable composites with liquid metal (LM) droplets can enable new generations of soft electronics, robotics, and reconfigurable structures. However, techniques to control local composite microstructure, which ultimately governs material properties and performance, is lacking. Here a direct ink writing technique is developed to program the LM microstructure (i.

Solitons, defined as nonlinear waves which can reflect from boundaries or transmit through each other, are found in conservative, fully integrable systems. Similar phenomena, dubbed quasi-solitons, have been observed also in dissipative, "excitable" systems, either at finely tuned parameters (near a bifurcation) or in systems with cross-diffusion. Here we demonstrate that quasi-solitons can be robustly observed in excitable systems with excitable kinetics and with self-diffusion only.
