In this paper we consider a scalar parabolic equation on a star graph; the model is quite general but what we have in mind is the description of traffic flows at a crossroad. In particular, we do not necessarily require the continuity of…
We present a phenomenological approach to dispersion in nonlinear elasticity. A simple, thermomechanically sound, constitutive model is proposed to describe the (non-dissipative) properties of a hyperelastic dispersive solid, without…
We study the coherent propagation and incoherent diffusion of in-plane elastic waves in a two dimensional continuum populated by many, randomly placed and oriented, edge dislocations. Because of the Peierls-Nabarro force the dislocations…
We study a non-linear convective-diffusive equation, local in space and time, which has its background in the dynamics of the thickness of a wetting film. The presence of a non-linear diffusion predicts the existence of fronts as well as…

Convection-diffusion problem are the base for continuum mechanics. The main features of these problems are associated with an indefinite operator the problem. In this work we construct unconditionally stable scheme for non-stationary…

We consider in this paper a diffusion-convection reaction equation in one space dimension. The main assumptions are about the reaction term, which is monostable, and the diffusivity, which changes sign once or twice; then, we deal with a…

We consider front solutions of the Swift-Hohenberg equation $\partial_t u= -(1+\partial_x^2)^2 u +\epsilon ^2 u -u^3$. These are traveling waves which leave in their wake a periodic pattern in the laboratory frame. Using renormalization…
It is known that solutions of nonlocal dispersal evolution equations do not become smoother in space as time elapses. This lack of space regularity would cause a lot of difficulties in studying transition fronts in nonlocal equations. In…
This paper studies the nonlinear stability of capillary-gravity waves propagating along the interface dividing two immiscible fluid layers of finite depth. The motion in both regions is governed by the incompressible and irrotational Euler…
Lagrangian measurements of tracer particle dispersion in stratified turbulence are presented from a large-scale experiment achieving both high buoyancy Reynolds numbers and low Froude numbers -- a regime characteristic of oceanic…
The nonlinear dynamics of a warped accretion disc is investigated in the important case of a thin Keplerian disc with negligible viscosity and self-gravity. A one-dimensional evolutionary equation is formally derived that describes the…
This study handles spatial three-dimensional solution of the nonlinear diffusion equation without particular initial conditions. The functional behavior of the equation and the concentration have been studied in new ways. An auxiliary…

This paper explores the exponential stability of two nonlinear wave equations coupled through their velocities. The analysis is divided into two main cases. First, we consider a system where one equation is damped, while the other…
We establish the local boundedness of (sub-)solutions to nonlinear kinetic diffusion equations with $p$-growth, where the kinetic p-Laplace equation is a prototypical example. A key ingredient is the derivation of kinetic…
