Abstract: We consider finite-dimensional nonlinear systems with linear part described by a parity-time (PT-) symmetric operator. We investigate bifurcations of stationary nonlinear modes from the eigenstates of the linear operator and consider a class of PT-symmetric nonlinearities allowing for existence of the families of nonlinear modes. We pay particular attention to the situations when the underlying linear PT-symmetric operator is characterized by the presence of degenerate eigenvalues or exceptional-point singularity. In each of the cases we construct formal expansions for small-amplitude nonlinear modes. We also report a class of nonlinearities allowing for the system to admit one or several integrals of motion, which turn out to be determined by the pseudo-Hermiticity of the nonlinear operator.

Review text

Nonlinear systems of the form NEWLINE\[NEWLINE i\dot{\mathbf{q}}=-H(\gamma)\mathbf{q}-F(\mathbf{q})\mathbf{q}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE are studied, where \(\mathbf{q}=\mathbf{q}(t)\) is a column-vector of \(N\) elements. The linear part of the finite lattice is described by an \(N\times N\) symmetric matrix \(H(\gamma)\). \(\mathcal{PT}\)-symmetric Hamiltonians \(H(\gamma)\) are considered, that is there exist a parity, \(\mathcal{P}\), and time-reversal, \(\mathcal{T}\), operators such that \(\mathcal{P}^2=\mathcal{T}^2=I\), \([\mathcal{P},\mathcal{T}]=0\) and \([\mathcal{PT}, H]=0\). (\(I\) is the identity operator). The authors investigate bifurcations of stationary nonlinear modes from the eigenstates of the linear operator and consider a class of \(\mathcal{PT}\)-symmetric nonlinearities allowing the existence of families of nonlinear modes. The particular attention is paid to situations when the underlying linear \(\mathcal{PT}\)-symmetric operator is characterized by the presence of degenerate eigenvalues or an exceptional-point singularity.
