Spectral singularities and coherent perfect absorption are two interrelated concepts that have originally been introduced and studied for linear waves interacting with complex potentials. In the meantime, the distinctive asymptotic behavior of perfectly absorbed waves suggests considering possible generalizations of these phenomena for nonlinear waves. Here, we address the perfect absorption of nonlinear waves by an idealized infinitely narrow dissipative potential modeled by a Dirac δ-function with an imaginary amplitude. Our main result is the existence of perfectly absorbed flows whose spatial amplitude distributions are asymmetric with respect to the position of the absorber. These asymmetric states do not have a linear counterpart. Their linear stability is verified numerically. The nonlinear waveguide also supports symmetric and constant-amplitude perfectly absorbed flows. The stability of solutions of the latter type can be confirmed analytically.

Combination of a fourth-order Padé compact finite difference discretization in space and a fourth-order Runge–Kutta time stepping scheme is shown to yield an effective method for solving highly nonlinear standing waves in a thermoviscous medium. This accurate and fast-solver numerical scheme can predict the pressure, particle velocity, and density along the standing wave resonator filled with a thermoviscous fluid from linear to strongly nonlinear levels of the excitation amplitude. The stability analysis is performed to determine the stability region of the scheme. Beside the fourth-order accuracy in both time and space, another advantage of the given numerical scheme is that no additional attenuation is required to get numerical stability. As it is well known, the results show that the pressure and particle velocity waveforms for highly nonlinear waves are significantly different from that of the linear waves, in both time and space. For highly nonlinear waves, the results also indicate the presence of a wavefront that travels along the resonator with very high pressure and velocity gradients. Two gases, air and CO 2, are considered. It is observed that the slopes of the traveling velocity and pressure gradients are higher for CO 2 than those for air. For highly nonlinear waves, the results also indicate the higher asymmetry in pressure for CO 2 than that for air.

AbstractIn this manuscript, we examine both the existence and the stability of solutions to the implicit boundary value problem of Caputo fractional differential equations of variable order. We construct an example to illustrate the validity of the observed results.

Abstract Coherent perfect absorption (CPA) describes the absence of all outgoing modes from a lossy resonator, driven by lossless incoming modes. Here, we show that for nanoresonators that also exhibit radiative losses, e.g., plasmonic nanoantennas, a generalized version of CPA (gCPA) can be applied. In gCPA outgoing modes are suppressed only for a subset of (guided plasmonic) modes while other (radiative) modes are treated as additional loss channels - a situation typically referred to as perfect impedance matching. Here we make use of gCPA to show how to achieve perfect impedance matching between a single nanowire plasmonic waveguide and a plasmonic nanoantenna. Antennas with both radiant and subradiant characteristics are considered. We further demonstrate potential applications in background-free sensing.
