We consider the cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with harmonic trapping on $\mathbb{R}^D$ ($1\leq D\leq 5$). In the case when all but one directions are trapped (a.k.a "cigar-shaped" trap), following the approach of…
We investigate the appearance of trapping states in pedestrian flows through bottlenecks as a result of the interplay between the geometry of the system and the microscopic stochastic dynamics. We model the flow trough a bottleneck via a…

A trapping region is a compact set that is forward invariant with respect to the dynamics. Existence of a trapping region certifies boundedness of trajectories, and the size of the set provides an estimate of the ultimate bound. Prior work…

In this article, we focus on extending the notion of lattice linearity to self-stabilizing programs. Lattice linearity allows a node to execute its actions with old information about the state of other nodes and still preserve correctness.…

Coupled backward and forward wave amplitudes of an electromagnetic field propagating in a periodic and nonlinear medium at Bragg resonance are governed by the nonlinear coupled mode equations (NLCME). This system of PDEs, similar in…
One cannot pull an open, curved string along itself. This fact is clearly reflected in the unwrapping motion of a string or chain as it is dragged around an object, and implies strong consequences for slender structures in passive…
