We present a model of optical communication system for high-bit-rate data transmission in the nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) format over transoceanic distance. The system operates in a small group velocity dispersion regime, and the model equation is given by the well-known Whitham equations describing the slow modulation of multiphase wavetrains of the (defocusing) nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation. The model equation is of hyperbolic type, and NRZ pulse with certain initial phase modulation develops a shock. We then show how one can obtain a global solution by choosing an appropriate Riemann surface on which the Whitham equation is defined. We also discuss the effect of third order dispersion by using an integrable hierarchy of the NLS equation, and we give a condition to avoid a shock formation.read more

Unsteady undular bores in fully nonlinear shallow-water theory

Resolution of a shock in hyperbolic systems modified by weak dispersion.
TL;DR: A way to deal with dispersion-dominated "shock-type" transition in the absence of completely integrable structure for the systems that one may characterize as strictly hyperbolic regularized by a small amount of dispersion is presented.

Soliton Equations as Dynamical Systems on Infinite Dimensional Grassmann Manifold
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors interpreted the time evolution of a solution as the dynamical motion of a point on a Grassmann manifold, and a generic solution corresponds to a generic point whose orbit (in the infinitely many time variables) is dense in the manifold, whereas degenerate solutions corresponding to points bound on those closed submanifolds that are stable under the time evolve describe the solutions to various specialized equations, such as KdV, Boussinesq, nonlinear Schrodinger, and sine-Gordon.
