Dark-bright Solitons and their Lattices in Atomic Bose-Einstein Condensates

In the present contribution, we explore a host of different stationary states, namely dark-bright solitons and their lattices, that arise in the context of multi-component atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. The latter, are modeled by systems of coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations with general interaction (nonlinearity) coefficients $g_{ij}$. It is found that in some particular parameter ranges such solutions can be obtained in analytical form, however, numerically they are computed as existing in a far wider parametric range. Many features of the solutions under study, such as their analytical form without the trap or the stability/dynamical properties of one dark-bright soliton even in the presence of the trap are obtained analytically and corroborated numerically. Additional features, such as the stability of soliton lattice homogeneous states or their existence/stability in the presence of the trap, are examined numerically.
