Smoothed Wigner transforms have been used in signal processing, as a regularized version of the Wigner transform, and have been proposed as an alternative to it in the homogenization and / or semiclassical limits of wave equations. We…
An evanescent wave is a non-propagating wave with an imaginary wave vector. In this study, we prove that these are solutions of the tachyon-like Klein Gordon equation, and that in the tunneling of ultrarelativistic half integer spin…
Electromagnetic wave scattering by many parallel infinite cylinders is studied asymptotically as $a\to 0$. Here $a$ is the radius of the cylinders. It is assumed that the points $\hat{x}_m$ are distributed so that…
In the present work we explore the concept of solitary wave billiards. I.e., instead of a point particle, we examine a solitary wave in an enclosed region and explore its collision with the boundaries and the resulting trajectories in cases…

We study existence and stability properties of ground-state standing waves for two-dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a point interaction and a focusing power nonlinearity. The Schr\"odinger operator with a point interaction…
Effective field theory descriptions of surface waves on flowing fluids have tended to assume that the flow is irrotational, but this assumption is often impractical due to boundary layer friction and flow recirculation. Here we develop an…
Impulsive gravitational waves are theoretical models of short but violent bursts of gravitational radiation. They are commonly described by two distinct spacetime metrics, one of local Lipschitz regularity, the other one even…
The present work shows that essentially all small-amplitude periodic traveling waves of the electronic Euler-Poisson system are spectrally unstable. This instability is neither modulational nor co-periodic, and thus requires an unusual…

Refractive gravitational waves are a generalisation of impulsive waves on a null hypersurface in which the metric is discontinuous but a weaker continuity condition for areas holds. A simple example of a plane wave is examined in detail and…
We present a detailed theoretical study on the thermodynamic properties of impure quasi-one dimensional unconventional charge-, and spin-density waves in the framework of mean-field theory. The impurities are of the ordinary non-magnetic…

The problem of an electromagnetic wave scattered from a random medium layer with rough boundaries is formulated using integral equations which involve two kinds of Green functions. The first one describes the wave scattered by the random…

We study a nonlinear Schroedinger equation arising in the mean-field description of dipolar quantum gases. Under the assumption of sufficiently strong dipolar interactions, the existence of standing waves, and hence solitons, is proved…
Two-dimensional arrays of nonlinear electric oscillators are considered theoretically, where nearest neighbors are coupled by relatively small, constant, but non-equal capacitors. The dynamics is approximately reduced to a weakly…
