The propagation characteristics of a single Airy beam in nonlinear Kerr media were numerically investigated by utilizing the split-step Fourier transform method. We show that in addition to normal breathing solitons, the anomalous bound states of Airy spatial solitons can also be formed, which are similar to the states formed in the interaction between two Airy beams in nonlinear media. This quasi-equilibrium state is formed by the interaction of the main soliton beam and side lobes of Airy beam due to their different propagation trajectories in the nonlinear media. Moreover, it has been shown the Airy spatial solitons in tree structure can be formed by adjusting the initial parameters in the interaction between the Airy beam and Kerr media.

This paper discusses the propagation characteristics of astigmatic mixed-pattern solitons in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media. From the initial expression of the astigmatic mixed-pattern soliton, it is found that the propagation pattern of solitons can be divided into three different cases: oval type, two-petal type and four-petal type. We further derive the beam propagation expression, and solve the analytical expressions of the intensity, beam width, power and curvature of the soliton. Through numerical simulation, we made a series of graphs and carried on the necessary elaboration. The propagation dynamics are described emphatically and the propagation characteristics are discussed in detail.

In this paper, an Airy-like electron plasma wave is investigated in an unmagnetized collisionless plasma consisting of inertial electrons and static ions. Just like the optical Airy beam, the Airy-like electron plasma wave also has two interesting propagation characteristics: it has transverse acceleration and is diffraction-free, which display that the Airy-like electron plasma wave propagates along a curved trajectory and retains the basic structure for longer distances in the propagation direction, respectively. We give a numerical simulation for the electrostatic potential of the Airy-like electron plasma wave and show that, with the increase of the propagation distance, the electrostatic potential decreases in the propagation direction but increases in the transverse direction.
