In this article, we follow an idea that is opposite to the idea of Hopf and Cole: we use transformations in order to transform simpler linear or nonlinear differential equations (with known solutions) to more complicated nonlinear…
For a class of scalar partial differential equations that incorporate convection, diffusion, and possibly dispersion in one space and one time dimension, the stability of traveling wave solutions is investigated. If the initial perturbation…
How well do multisymplectic discretisations preserve travelling wave solutions? To answer this question, the 5-point central difference scheme is applied to the semi-linear wave equation. A travelling wave ansatz leads to an ordinary…
This thesis is concerned with dynamics of conservative nonlinear waves on bounded domains. In general, there are two scenarios of evolution. Either the solution behaves in an oscillatory, quasiperiodic manner or the nonlinear effects cause…

We derive an asymptotic equation for quasi-static, nonlinear surface plasmons propagating on a planar interface between isotropic media. The plasmons are nondispersive with a constant linearized frequency that is independent of their…
We prove the existence of a continuous family of positive and generally non-monotone travelling fronts in delayed reaction-diffusion equations $u_t(t,x) = \Delta u(t,x)- u(t,x) + g(u(t-h,x)) (*)$, when $g \in C^2(R_+,R_+)$ has exactly two…
A new class of solitary waves arises in the solution of nonlinear wave equations with constant impedance and no dispersive terms. They depend on a balance between nonlinearity and a dispersion-like effect due to spatial variation in the…
We demonstrate that in three space dimensions, the scattering behaviour of semilinear wave equations with quintic-type nonlinearities uniquely determines the nonlinearity. The nonlinearity is permitted to depend on both space and time.
Using a modified version of Weinstein's argument for constrained minimization in nonlinear dispersive equations, we prove existence of solitary waves in fully nonlocally nonlinear equations, as long as the linear multiplier is of positive…
