Tobibur Rahman

I study how noise and memory reshape nonlinear waves.

I derive soliton solutions of fractional and stochastic partial differential equations, analyse their stability, bifurcations and chaos, and test them in simulation. Five journal articles so far, and I am preparing to apply for doctoral study in applied mathematics in the United States.

  • Phase portrait with homoclinic orbits and a chaotic trajectory with Poincaré section points
    Scientific Reports · 2026

    Solitons, bifurcation, chaos, and stability of the fractional Schrödinger–Hirota equation with beta derivative

    Md. Al Amin, T. Rahman, M. T. Islam, Md. Abu Bakar Pk, M. A. Akbar

    Optical pulses in dispersive fibre, modelled by the Schrödinger–Hirota equation with a β-fractional derivative. The study derives new exact solitons and then asks a dynamical question: when does the system stop behaving regularly?

  • Space-time plot of bead velocity in a granular chain showing a solitary wave travelling at constant speed

    From Hertzian contact to Pochhammer–Chree dynamics: solitons, chaos, and bifurcation in granular metamaterials

    M. I. Z. Soma, M. T. Islam, T. Rahman, S. Ryehan

    A chain of elastic beads touching through Hertzian contact carries stress waves that no linear model captures. The paper connects the discrete Hertz law to a continuum Pochhammer–Chree equation with cubic nonlinearity.

  • Bright soliton profiles for several beta values and a two-dimensional contour of the solution
    Optical and Quantum Electronics · 2026

    Soliton solutions, chaotic dynamics, and stability analysis of the (2+1)-dimensional time–space fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation

    Md. Al Amin, T. Rahman, M. T. Islam, Md. Abu Bakar Pk, M. A. Akbar

    A two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger model with fractional derivatives in both space and time, relevant to optical pulse transport, plasma oscillation and fluid flow.

  • Kink soliton heat map with noise-induced stripes and noise amplitude factors for several noise intensities

    Comprehensive soliton solutions of fractional stochastic Kraenkel–Manna–Merle equations in ferromagnetic materials

    M. T. Islam, T. Rahman, M. Inc, M. A. Akbar

    Short magnetic waves in ferrites, modelled by a Kraenkel–Manna–Merle system that carries both memory (conformable derivative) and randomness (multiplicative Brownian noise). My contribution covered software, data curation, formal analysis and writing.

  • Three-dimensional surface and top view of a modulated optical soliton ridge

    Exclusive soliton solutions arise in mono-mode optical fibre connecting to nonlinear Fokas system

    M. T. Islam, H. Alsaud, T. Rahman, M. Inc

    The (2+1)-dimensional Fokas system describes nonlinear pulses in mono-mode optical fibre, with separate parameters for dispersion, nonlinear coupling, transverse dispersion and saturation.
