The evolution of Cos−Gaussian beams in periodic potential optical lattices is theoretically and numerically investigated. By theoretical analysis, a breathing soliton solution of the Gross–Pitaevskii equation with periodic potential is obtained, and the period of the breathing soliton is solved. In addition, the evolution of Cos−Gaussian beams in periodic potential optical lattices is numerically simulated. It is found that breathing solitons generate by appropriately choosing initial medium and beam parameters. Firstly, the effects of the initial parameters of Cos−Gaussian beams (initial phase and width) on its initial waveform and the propagation characteristics of breathing soliton are discussed in detail. Then, the influence of the initial parameters (modulation intensity and modulation frequency) of a photonic lattice on the propagation characteristics of breathing solitons is investigated. Finally, the effects of modulation intensity and modulation frequency on the width and period of the breathing soliton are analyzed. The results show that the number of breathing solitons is manipulated by controlling the initial parameters of Cos−Gaussian beams. The period and width of a breathing soliton are controlled by manipulating the initial parameters of a periodic photonic lattice. The results provide some theoretical basis for the generation and manipulation of breathing solitons.
