Non-local equations of motion contain an infinite number of derivatives and commonly appear in a number of string theory models. We review how these equations can be rewritten in the form of a diffusion-like equation with non-linear…
In this paper, we study a semilinear weakly coupled system of wave equations with power nonlinearities. More precisely, we couple (through the nonlinear terms) a wave equation and a damped wave equation with a time-dependent coefficient for…
In a weakly excitable medium, characterized by a large threshold stimulus, the free end of an isolated broken plane wave (wave tip) can either rotate (steadily or unsteadily) around a large excitable core, thereby producing a spiral…
