We extend to multi-dimensions the work of [1], where new fully explicit kinetic methods were built for the approximation of linear and non-linear convection-diffusion problems. The fundamental principles from the earlier work are retained:…
We present a fast direct solver for two dimensional scattering problems, where an incident wave impinges on a penetrable medium with compact support. We represent the scattered field using a volume potential whose kernel is the outgoing…
We propose a stable Petrov-Galerkin discretization of a kinetic Fokker-Planck equation constructed in such a way that uniform inf-sup stability can be inferred directly from the variational formulation. Inspired by well-posedness results…
It is well known that the dynamics of a one-dimensional dissipative system driven by the Ginzburg-Landau free energy may be described in terms of interacting kinks: two neighbouring kinks at distance $\ell$ feel an attractive force…
We develop a general mapping from given kink or pulse shaped travelling-wave solutions including their velocity to the equations of motion on one-dimensional lattices which support these solutions. We apply this mapping - by definition an…
Singularly perturbed problems are known to have solutions with steep boundary layers that are hard to resolve numerically. Traditional numerical methods, such as Finite Difference Methods (FDMs), require a refined mesh to obtain stable and…
The non-monotonic propagation of fronts is considered. When the speed function $F:\mathbb{R}^{n} \times [0,T]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is prescribed, the non-linear advection equation $\phi_{t}+F|\nabla \phi|=0$ is a Hamilton-Jacobi equation…

We consider spatially discrete bistable reaction-diffusion equations that admit wave front solutions. Depending on the parameters involved, such wave fronts appear to be pinned or to glide at a certain speed. We study the transition of…
We solve the equations of motion of a complex $\phi^4$ theory coupled to some given gauge field background. The solutions are given in both cylindrical and spherical coordinates and have finite energy.
We study the well-posedness of a modified degenerate Cahn-Hilliard type model for surface diffusion. With degenerate phase-dependent diffusion mobility and additional stabilizing function, this model is able to give the correct sharp…
It is shown that the kinematic system describing planar non-steady motions of ideal fibre-reinforced fluids may be reduced to a single two-dimensional third-order partial differential equation in which time enters parametrically. A…
We consider the stabilisation of solutions to the Cahn-Hilliard equation towards a given trajectory by means of a finite-dimensional static output feedback mechanism. Exponential stabilisation of the controlled state around the target…
A symmetric $\phi^4$-$\phi^2 |\phi|$-$\phi^2$ model has recently attracted a lot of attention due to its usefulness in studying tunable phase transitions. We analyze the behavior of this model for the entire range of parameters and obtain…
For the nonlinear Klein-Gordon type models, we describe a general method of discretization in which the static kink can be placed anywhere with respect to the lattice. These discrete models are therefore free of the {\it static}…
We study a particular class of moving average processes which possess a property called localisability. This means that, at any given point, they admit a ``tangent process'', in a suitable sense. We give general conditions on the kernel g…

We study self-similar solutions of the thin-film equation, with mobility exponent m in (0,4], that describe the lifting of an isolated touch-down point given by an initial profile of the form |x|. This provides a mechanism for…
The two major effects observed in collisions of the continuum $\phi^4$ kinks are (i) the existence of critical collision velocity above which the kinks always emerge from the collision and (ii) the existence of the escape windows for…
