Propagation failure (pinning) of traveling waves is studied in a discrete scalar reaction-diffusion equation with a piecewise linear, bistable reaction function. The critical points of the pinning transition, and the wavefront profile at…

The concept of spectrum for a class of non-linear wave equations is studied. Instead of looking for stability, the key to the spectral structure is found in the instability phenomena (bifurcations). This aspect is best seen in the…

It is analytically shown that symmetry breaking, in dissipative systems, affects the nature of the bifurcation at onset of instability resulting in transitions from super to subcritical bifurcations. In the case of a nonlinear fiber cavity,…

In this manuscript, we focus on the more delicate nonlinearity of the semilinear wave equation $$\partial_{t}^2 u-\Delta_{\mathbb{R}^3}u=|u|^{p_S}\mu(|u|)\ ,u(0,x)=\varepsilon u_0,\ u_t(0,x)=\varepsilon u_1\ ,$$ where $p_S=1+\sqrt{2}$ is…

Transition from laminar to turbulent flow drastically changes the mixing, transport, and drag properties of fluids, yet when and how turbulence emerges is elusive even for simple flow within pipes and rectangular channels. Unlike the onset…
