It is shown that asymptotically consistent modifications of (Boussinesq-like) shallow water approximations, in order to improve their dispersive properties, can fail for uneven bottoms (i.e., the dispersion is actually not improved). It is…
In the early Universe, large-scale flows were omnipresent, and the flow collisions produced sheets and filaments. This phenomenon occurs for both particle and wave dark matter. But for the latter, these sheets and filaments are the…
