    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?

    • Extended Riccati scheme yields kink, dark, periodic and mixed bright–dark solitons.
    • Phase-plane and bifurcation analysis classify the equilibria; the fractional order acts as a bifurcation parameter.
    • Periodic forcing drives a transition to chaos, measured with Poincaré sections and Lyapunov exponents; linear stability analysis confirms robustness.
  • Space-time plot of bead velocity in a granular chain showing a solitary wave travelling at constant speed
    Figure made for this site: a solitary pulse in a 70-bead Hertzian chain (force ∝ overlap^3/2), integrated numerically.

    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.

    • Bell-shaped, kink and compacton solitons from the improved auxiliary equation and improved tanh methods.
    • Bifurcation analysis maps where solitary waves are stable; Melnikov's method predicts chaos under external forcing.
    • Predictions checked against discrete element (DEM) simulations, with a positive Lyapunov exponent.
  • Bright soliton profiles for several beta values and a two-dimensional contour of the solution
    Figure made for this site: (a) how the β-derivative reshapes a bright soliton, (b) a two-dimensional solution at fixed time.

    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.

    • β-fractional wave transformation and the extended Riccati method give periodic, anti-kink, bright, dark and bell-type solitons.
    • Modulation instability analysis shows the solutions withstand small spatiotemporal perturbations.
    • Bifurcation and phase-plane analysis reveal quasi-periodic and chaotic regimes.
  • Kink soliton heat map with noise-induced stripes and noise amplitude factors for several noise intensities
    Figure made for this site: (a) kink under noise σ = 0.6, (b) one noise realization against its mean damping e^(−σ²t/2).

    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.

    • Enhanced rational (G′/G)-expansion and improved tanh schemes produce periodic and kink soliton families.
    • Graphical study of how noise intensity σ and fractional order α reshape each family.
  • Three-dimensional surface and top view of a modulated optical soliton ridge
    Figure made for this site: an illustrative (2+1)-dimensional optical soliton ridge, as a surface and from above.

    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.

    • Improved auxiliary equation and improved tanh schemes give a large family of new optical soliton solutions.
    • 3D, 2D and contour studies show how each physical parameter changes the pulse.
