The dynamics of a chain of interacting active particles of Rayleigh-type is studied. Particles are interconnected via Morse potential forces. The steady-state modes (attractors) of the chain with periodic boundary conditions look like cnoidal waves with a uniform distribution of the particles’ density maxima along the chain. However, if the system starts from random initial conditions, a metastable state with nonuniform distribution of density maxima is formed. Characteristics of metastable states, excitation probability of different modes and their lifetimes are studied by numerical simulation.

Behavior of dissipative solitons and crowdions in the triangular lattice of interacting particles is studied by means of numerical simulations. Active properties of particles are determined by non-linear friction which slows down the rapid particles and accelerates slower ones. Local interaction between particles is determined by the modified Morse potential with established cut-off radius. It is shown that the excitation of crowdions in active lattice is possible for some definite values of parameters. Borderlines between crowdions and solitons excitation in a space of parameters and initial conditions are determined.

AbstractTidal disruption events (TDEs) are among the brightest transients in the optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray sky. These flares are set into motion when a star is torn apart by the tidal field of a massive black hole, triggering a chain of events which is – so far – incompletely understood. However, the disruption process has been studied extensively for almost half a century, and unlike the later stages of a TDE, our understanding of the disruption itself is reasonably well converged. In this Chapter, we review both analytical and numerical models for stellar tidal disruption. Starting with relatively simple, order-of-magnitude physics, we review models of increasing sophistication, the semi-analytic “affine formalism,” hydrodynamic simulations of the disruption of polytropic stars, and the most recent hydrodynamic results concerning the disruption of realistic stellar models. Our review surveys the immediate aftermath of disruption in both typical and more unusual TDEs, exploring how the fate of the tidal debris changes if one considers non-main sequence stars, deeply penetrating tidal encounters, binary star systems, and sub-parabolic orbits. The stellar tidal disruption process provides the initial conditions needed to model the formation of accretion flows around quiescent massive black holes, and in some cases may also lead to directly observable emission, for example via shock breakout, gravitational waves or runaway nuclear fusion in deeply plunging TDEs.

We consider solutions of Burgers' equation with linear or quadratic external potential and stationary random initial conditions of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type. We study a class of limit laws that correspond to a scale renormalization of the solutions.

We consider star networks of chaotic oscillators, with all end-nodes connected only to the central hub node, under diffusive coupling, conjugate coupling and mean-field diffusive coupling. We observe the existence of chimeras in the end-nodes, which are identical in terms of the coupling environment and dynamical equations. Namely, the symmetry of the end-nodes is broken and coexisting groups with different synchronization features and attractor geometries emerge. Surprisingly, such chimera states are very wide-spread in this network topology, and large parameter regimes of moderate coupling strengths evolve to chimera states from generic random initial conditions. Further, we verify the robustness of these chimera states in analog circuit experiments. Thus it is evident that star networks provide a promising class of coupled systems, in natural or engineered contexts, where chimeras are prevalent.
