Abstract In this paper, a set of detailed numerical simulations of pulsating solitons in certain regions, where the pulsating solitons exist, have been carried out. The results show that the transformation between pulsating soliton and fronts can be realised through a series of period-doubling bifurcations, while there exist many kinds of special solutions. The complete transformation diagram has been obtained when the value of nonlinear gain varies within a definite range. The detailed analysis of the diagram reveals that the pulsating soliton experiences period-doubling bifurcations for smaller values of the nonlinear gain. For larger values of it, the pulsating solitons show chaotic behaviour and complex pulse splitting except for some special bifurcations. With the value of nonlinear gain increasing further, the pulse profiles resume pulsating, but the pulse energy is much higher than before and the pulse centre may move along the propagation direction.
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
