Abstract 2D and 3D solitons and related states, such as quantum droplets, can appear in
optical systems, atomic Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) and liquid crystals, among other …

This article offers a comprehensive survey of results obtained for solitons and complex
nonlinear wave patterns supported by nonlinear lattices (NLs), which represent a spatially …

We review both theoretical and experimental advances in the recently emerged field of
modulated photonic lattices. These artificial periodic dielectric structures provide a powerful …

In the course of the past several years, a new level of understanding has been achieved
about conditions for the existence, stability, and generation of spatiotemporal optical …

Solitons are localized wave disturbances that propagate without changing shape, a result of
a nonlinear interaction that compensates for wave packet dispersion. Individual solitons may …

A comparative review is given of some well-known and some recent results obtained in
studies of two-and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) solitons, with emphasis on states carrying …

Nonlinear systems can exhibit a rich set of dynamics that are inherently sensitive to their
initial conditions. One such example is modulational instability, which is believed to be one …

The aim of this introductory article is two-fold. First, we aim to offer a general introduction to
the theme of Bose-Einstein condensates, and briefly discuss the evolution of a number of …

We analyze the physics of bright solitons in 2D dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates. These
solitons, which are not possible in short-range interacting gases, constitute the first realistic …

The catalytic stereoselective synthesis of compounds with chiral phosphorus centers
remains an unsolved problem. State-of-the-art methods rely on resolution or stoichiometric …
