It is well known that the Minkowski dimension of spiral trajectories near a non-degenerate focus in analytic (smooth) systems is in one-to-one correspondence with the cyclicity of the focus in generic unfoldings. We give a complete fractal…

Spiral waves arise in many biological, chemical, and physiological systems. The kinematical model can be used to describe the motion of the spiral arms approximated as curves in the plane. For this model, there appeared some results in the…

We study spiral waves in a mathematical model of a nonlinear optical system with a feedback loop. Starting from a delayed scalar diffusion equation in a thin annulus with oblique derivative boundary conditions, we shrink the annulus and…

In this work, phase singularities embedded in a wavepacket are shown to act as sources of atypical localized oscillations when the packet interacts with a linear system. We refer to these oscillations as \textit{chirpons}, since they arise…

Spiral wave, whose rotation center can be regarded as a point defect, widely exists in various two dimensional excitable systems. In this paper, by making use of \emph{Duan's topological current theory}, we obtain the charge density of…

Spiral galaxies can be classified into the {\it Grand-designs} and {\it Flocculents} based on the nature of their spiral arms. The {\it Grand-designs} exhibit almost continuous and high contrast spiral arms and are believed to be driven by…

The tidally tilted pulsators are a new type of oscillating star in close binary systems that have their pulsation axis in the orbital plane because of the tidal distortion caused by their companion. We describe this group of stars on the…
