We find that the Hirota equation admits breather-to-soliton conversion at special values of the solution eigenvalues. This occurs for the first-order, as well as higher orders, of breather solutions. An analytic expression for the condition of the transformation is given and several examples of transformations are presented. The values of these special eigenvalues depend on two free parameters that are present in the Hirota equation. We also find that higher order breathers generally have complicated quasi-periodic oscillations along the direction of propagation. Various breather solutions are considered, including the particular case of second-order breathers of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

AbstractIn this article, a fifth-order dispersive nonlinear Schrödinger equation is investigated, which describes the propagation of ultrashort optical pulses, up to the attosecond duration, in an optical fibre. Rogue wave solutions are derived by virtue of the generalised Darboux transformation. Rogue wave structures and interaction are discussed through (i) the analyses on the higher-order rogue waves, the cubic, quartic, quintic, group-velocity, and phase-parameter effects; (ii) a higher-order rogue wave consisting of the first-order rogue waves via the interaction; (iii) characteristics of the rogue waves which are summarised, including the maximum/minimum values of the rogue waves and the number of the first-order rogue waves for composing the higher-order rogue wave; and (iv) spatial-temporal patterns which are illustrated and compared with those of the ‘self-focusing’ nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We find that the quintic terms increase the time of appearance for the first-order rogue waves which form the higher-order rogue wave, and that the quintic terms affect the interaction among the first-order rogue waves, which elongates the distance of appearance for the higher-order rogue wave.

AbstractWe show a model construction for a system of higher-order illative combinatory logic thus establishing its strong consistency. We also use a variant of this construction to provide a complete embedding of first-order intuitionistic predicate logic with second-order propositional quantifiers into the system of Barendregt, Bunder and Dekkers, which gives a partial answer to a question posed by these authors.

This paper addresses the development of efficient numerical solvers for EHL problems from a rather fundamental point of view. A work-accuracy exchange criterion is derived, that can be interpreted as setting a limit to the price paid in terms of computing time for a solution of a given accuracy. The criterion can serve as a guideline when reviewing or selecting a numerical solver and a discretization. Earlier developed multilevel solvers for the EHL line and circular contact problem are tested against this criterion. This test shows that, to satisfy the criterion a second-order accurate solver is needed for the point contact problem whereas the solver developed earlier used a first-order discretization. This situation arises more often in numerical analysis, i.e., a higher order discretization is desired when a lower order solver already exists. It is explained how in such a case the multigrid methodology provides an easy and straightforward way to obtain the desired higher order of approximation. This higher order is obtained at almost negligible extra work and without loss of stability. The approach was tested out by raising an existing first order multilevel solver for the EHL line contact problem to second order. Subsequently, it was used to obtain a second-order solver for the EHL circular contact problem. Results for both the line and circular contact problem are presented.
