Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Nonlinear evolution equations play a key role in modeling various physical processes, such as wave propagation in nonlinear optical and hydrodynamic media, as well as in the dynamics of plasma and quantum systems. In this paper, we study an integrable generalization of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation: the Fokas–Lenells (FL) equation. We derive a new (1+1)-dimensional FL equation with self-consistent sources, which enables modeling the interaction of solitons with external disturbances within the framework of integrable systems. For the frist time, we obtain, two distinct types of solutions for the spin system of the FL equation, namely, a traveling wave and a one-soliton solution, derived using the Darboux transformation (DT). We also construct exact one-soliton and two-soliton solutions for the (2+1)-dimensional FL equation using the DT. These results advance analytical methods in the theory of integrable nonlinear systems, including spin models widely used to describe magnetic, quantum, and soliton phenomena. We illustrate the dynamics of the solutions graphically.
