The collision of two clouds of Fermi gas at unitarity (UFG) has been recently observed to lead to shock waves whose regularization mechanism, dissipative or dispersive, is being debated. While classical, dissipative shocks, as in gas…
It is shown that asymmetric waveguides with gain and loss can support a stable propagation of optical beams. This means that the propagation constants of modes of the corresponding complex optical potential are real. A class of such…
We examine travelling wave solutions of the reaction-diffusion equation, $\partial_t u= R(u) + \partial_x \left[D(u) \partial_x u\right]$, with a Stefan-like condition at the edge of the moving front. With only a few assumptions on $R(u)$…
