Abstract In this paper, we study the existence of peaked traveling wave solution of the generalized μ-Novikov equation with nonlocal cubic and quadratic nonlinearities. The equation is a μ-version of a linear combination of the Novikov equation and Camassa-Hom equation. It is found that the equation admits single peaked traveling wave solutions.

AbstractWe investigate the existence and stability of gap solitons supported by an optical lattice in biased photorefractive (PR) crystals having both the linear and quadratic electro-optic effect. Such PR crystals have an interesting interplay between the linear and quadratic nonlinearities. Gap solitons are predicted for the first time in such novel PR media. Taking a relevant example (PMN-0.33PT), we find that the gap solitons in the first finite bandgap are single humped, positive and symmetric solitons while those in the second finite band gap are antisymmetric and double humped. The power of the gap soliton depends upon the value of the axial propagation constant. We delineate three power regimes and study the gap soliton profiles in each region. The gap solitons in the first finite band gap are not linearly stable while those in the second finite band gap are found to be stable against small perturbations. We study their stability properties in detail throughout the finite band gaps. The interplay between the linear and quadratic electro-optic effect is studied by investigating the spatial profiles and stability of the gap solitons for different ratios of the linear and quadratic nonlinear coefficients.

Abstract Dynamical systems with two degrees-of-freedom, with quadratic nonlinearities and parametric excitations are studied in this analysis. The 1:2 superharmonic internal resonance case is analyzed. The method of harmonic balance is used to obtain a set of four first-order amplitude equations that govern the dynamics of the first-order approximation of the response. An analytical technique, based on Melnikov’s method is used to predict the parameter range for which chaotic dynamics exist in the undamped averaged system. Numerical studies show that chaotic responses are quite common in these quadratic systems and chaotic responses occur even in presence of damping.

We investigate theoretically and experimentally the two-to-one internal resonance in micromachined arch beams, which are electrothermally tuned and electrostatically driven. By applying an electrothermal voltage across the arch, the ratio between its first two symmetric modes is tuned to two. We model the nonlinear response of the arch beam during the two-to-one internal resonance using the multiple scales perturbation method. The perturbation solution is expanded up to three orders considering the influence of the quadratic nonlinearities, cubic nonlinearities, and the two simultaneous excitations at higher AC voltages. The perturbation solutions are compared to those obtained from a multimode Galerkin procedure and to experimental data based on deliberately fabricated Silicon arch beam. Good agreement is found among the results. Results indicate that the system exhibits different types of bifurcations, such as saddle node and Hopf bifurcations, which can lead to quasi-periodic and potentially chaotic motions.
