Algebraic soliton interactions with a periodic or quasi-periodic random force are investigated using the Benjamin-Ono equation. The random force is modeled as a Fourier series with a finite number of modes and random phases uniformly distributed, while its frequency spectrum has a Gaussian shape centered at a peak frequency. The expected value of the averaged soliton wave field is computed asymptotically and compared with numerical results, showing strong agreement. We identify parameter regimes where the averaged soliton field splits into two steady pulses and a regime where the soliton field splits into two solitons traveling in opposite directions. In the latter case, the averaged soliton speeds are variable. In both scenarios, the soliton field is damped by the external force. Additionally, we identify a regime where the averaged soliton exhibits the following behavior: it splits into two distinct solitons and then recombines to form a single soliton. This motion is periodic over time.

In this topical review we explore the dynamics of nonlinear lattices with a particular focus to Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou type models that arise in the study of elastic media and, more specifically, granular crystals. We first revisit the workhorse of such lattices, namely traveling waves, both from a continuum, but also from a genuinely discrete perspective, both without and with a linear force component (induced by the so-called precompression). We then extend considerations to time-periodic states, examining dark breather structures in homogeneous crystals, as well as bright breathers in diatomic lattices. The last pattern that we consider extensively is the dispersive shock wave arising in the context of suitable Riemann (step) initial data. We show how the use of continuum (KdV) and discrete (Toda) integrable approximations can be used to get a first quantitative handle of the relevant waveforms. In all cases, theoretical analysis is accompanied by numerical computations and, where possible, by a recap and illustration of prototypical experimental results. We close the chapter by offering a number of ongoing and potential future directions and associated open problems in the field.

We solve the fifth-order Korteweg-de Vries (fKdV) equation which is a modified KdV equation perturbed by a fifth-order derivative term multiplied by a small parameter $epsilon^2$, with $0< epsilon ll 1$. Unlike the KdV equation, the stationary fKdV equation does not exhibit exactly localized 1-soliton solution, instead it allows a solution which has a well defined central core similar to that of the KdV 1-soliton solution, accompanied by extremely small oscillatory standing wave tails on both sides of the core. The amplitude of the standing wave tail oscillations is $mathcal{O}(exp(-1/epsilon))$, i.e. it is beyond all orders small in perturbation theory. The analytical computation of the amplitude of these transcendentally small tail oscillations has been carried out up to $mathcal{O}(epsilon^5)$ order corrections by using the complex method of matched asymptotics. Also the long-standing discrepancy between the $mathcal{O}(epsilon^2)$ perturbative result of Grimshaw and Joshi (1995) and the numerical results of Boyd (1995) has been resolved. In addition to the stationary symmetric weakly localized solitary wave-like solutions, we analyzed the stationary asymmetric solutions of the fKdV equation which decay exponentially to zero on one side of the (slightly asymmetric) core and blows up to large negative values on other side of the core. The asymmetry is quantified by computing the third derivative of the solution at the origin which also turns out to be beyond all orders small in perturbation theory. The analytical computation of the third derivative of a function at the origin has also been carried out up to $mathcal{O}(epsilon^5)$ order corrections. We use the exponentially convergent pseudo-spectral method to solve the fKdV equation numerically. The analytical and the numerical results show remarkable agreement.

Nonlinear two-dimensional internal gravity waves (IGWs) in the atmospheres of the Earth and the Sun are studied. The resulting two-dimensional nonlinear equation has the form of a generalized nonlinear Schr"{o}dinger equation with nonlocal nonlinearity, that is when the nonlinear response depends on the wave intensity at some spatial domain. The modulation instability of IGWs is predicted, and specific cases for the Earth's atmosphere are considered. In a number of particular cases, the instability thresholds and instability growth rates are analytically found. Despite the nonlocal nonlinearity, we demonstrate the possibility of critical collapse of IGWs due to the scale homogeneity of the nonlinear term in spatial variables.

Davydova-Lashkin-Fokas-Lenells equation (DLFLE) is a gauged equivalent form of Fokas-Lenells equation (FLE) that addresses both spatio-temporal dispersion (STD) and nonlinear dispersion (ND) effects. The balance between those effects results a soliton which has always been an interesting topic in research due to its potential applicability as signal carrier in information technology. We have induced a variation to the dispersion effects and apply Hirota bilinear method to realise soliton solution of the proposed DLFLE and explore how the soliton dynamic behaves in accordance to the variation of the dispersion effects. The proposed equation is applicable for number of systems like ultrashort optical pulse, ioncyclotron plasma wave, Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) matter-wave soliton under certain external fields, etc. The study on such systems under varying effects is very limited and we hope our work can benefit the researchers to understand soliton dynamics more and work on various other nonlinear fields under varying effects.

The generation of second and third harmonics by an acoustic wave propagating along one dimension in a weakly nonlinear elastic medium that is loaded harmonically in time with frequency $omega_0$ at a single point in space, is analyzed by successive approximations starting with the linear case. It is noted that nonlinear waves have a speed of propagation that depends on their amplitude. It is also noted that both a free medium as well as a loaded medium generate higher harmonics, but that although the second harmonic of the free medium scales like the square of the linear wave, this is no longer the case when the medium is externally loaded. The shift in speed of propagation due to the nonlinearities is determined imposing that there be no resonant terms in a successive approximation solution scheme to the homogeneous problem. The result is then used to solve the inhomogeneous case also by successive approximations, up to the third order. At second order, the result is a second harmonic wave whose amplitude is modulated by a long wave, whose wavelength is inversely proportional to the shift in the speed of propagation of the linear wave due to nonlinearities. The amplitude of the long modulating wave scales like the amplitude of the linear wave to the four thirds. At short distances from the source a scaling proportional to the amplitude of the linear wave squared is recovered, as is a second harmonic amplitude that grows linearly with distance from the source and depends on the third-order elastic constant only. The third order solution is the sum of four amplitude-modulated waves, two of them oscillate with frequency $omega_0$ and the other two, third harmonics, with $3omega_0$. In each pair, one term scales like the amplitude of the linear wave to the five-thirds, and the other to the seven-thirds.

The cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLS) in one dimension is considered in the presence of an intensity-dependent dispersion term. We study bright solitary waves with smooth profiles which extend from the limit where the dependence of the dispersion coefficient on the wave intensity is negligible to the limit where the solitary wave becomes singular due to vanishing dispersion coefficient. We analyze and numerically explore the stability for such smooth solitary waves, showing with the help of numerical approximations that the family of solitary waves becomes unstable in the intermediate region between the two limits, while being stable in both limits. This bistability, that has also been observed in other NLS equations with the generalized nonlinearity, brings about interesting dynamical transitions from one stable branch to another stable branch, that are explored in direct numerical simulations of the NLS equation with the intensity-dependent dispersion term.

We study quantum droplets emerging in a quasi-one-dimensional asymmetric mixture of two atomic species with different intra-component coupling constants. We find that such mixtures support a rich variety of multipole quantum droplets, where the macroscopic wavefunction of one component changes its sign and features distinctive multipole structure, while the wavefunction of another component does not have zeros. Such multipole droplets have no counterparts in the reduced single-component model frequently used to describe symmetric one-dimensional mixtures. We study transformations of multipole states upon variation of the chemical potential of each component and demonstrate that quantum droplets can split into separated fundamental states, transform into flat-top multipoles, or into multipole component coupled to flat-top state with several humps on it, akin to anti-dark solitons. Multipole quantum droplets described here are stable in large part of their existence domain. Our findings essentially broaden the family of quantum droplet states emerging in the beyond-meanfield regime and open the way for observation of such heterostructured states in Bose-Bose mixtures.

The control over the geometry and topology of quantum systems is crucial for advancing novel quantum technologies. This work provides a synthesis of recent insights into the behaviour of quantum vortices within atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) subject to curved geometric constraints. We highlight the significant impact of the curvature on the condensate density and phase distribution, particularly in quasi-one-dimensional waveguides for different angular momentum states. An engineered periodic transport of the quantized vorticity between density-coupled ring-shaped condensates is discussed. The significant role of curved geometry in shaping the dynamics of rotational Josephson vortices in long atomic Josephson junctions is illustrated for the system of vertically stacked toroidal condensates. Different methods for the controlled creation of rotational Josephson vortices in coupled ring systems are described in the context of the formation of long-lived vortex configurations in shell-shaped BECs with cylindrical geometry. Future directions of explorations of vortices in curved geometries with implications for quantum information processing and sensing technologies are discussed.

We present an exact solution to the problem of a self-consistent equilibrium force-free magnetic flux rope. Unlike other approaches, we use magnetostatic equations and assume only a relatively rapid decrease in the axial magnetic field at infinity. For the first time we obtain a new nonlinear equation for the axial current density, the derivation of which does not require any phenomenological assumptions. From the resulting nonlinear equation, we analytically find the radial profiles of the components of the magnetic field strength and current density.
