Soliton solutions of the TWPA-SNAIL transmission line circuit equation under continuum approximation via the Jacobi elliptic function expansion method

Abstract

In this paper, we study the travelling wave parametric amplifier-superconducting nonlinear asymmetric inductive element (TWPA-SNAIL) transmission line circuit equation and its variable coefficients form, which may describe transmission line circuits for travelling wave parametric amplifiers including superconducting nonlinear asymmetric inductive elements. We derive some exact solutions, including dark soliton, bright soliton, periodic, trigonometric function and hyperbolic function solutions using Jacobi elliptic function expansion method. The soliton solutions of this circuit equation are useful to analogue black–white hole event horizon pairs. To better describe the dynamical behaviour of these solutions, we plot three-dimensional density and two-dimensional images. By varying the parameters, we find that some parameters have an effect on the structure of the solution. In addition, for the variable coefficient equations, we present images containing trigonometric and exponential functions in the solution and obtain some satisfactory results by comparing the graphs with the coefficient functions. The results show that the Jacobi elliptic function expansion method is a remarkable, direct and desirable method for solving a class of nonlinear partial differential equations.
