In this paper we study the semilinear elliptic problem $$ -\Delta u -k^2u=Q|u|^{p-2}u\quad\text{ in }\mathbb{R}^2, $$ where $k>0$, $p\geq 6$ and $Q$ is a bounded function. We prove the existence of real-valued $W^{2,p}$-solutions, both for…

We study the inverse problem of recovery a non-linearity $f(x,u)$, which is compactly supported in $x$, in the semilinear wave equation $u_{tt}-\Delta u+ f(x,u)=0$. We probe the medium with either complex or real-valued harmonic waves of…

It is well known that minimizers of the Allen-Cahn-type functional \[ J_\epsilon(u):=\int_\Omega\frac{\epsilon|\nabla u|^2}{2}+\frac{W(u)}{\epsilon}, \] where $W$ is a double-well potential, resemble minimal surfaces in the sense that their…
We devise a new time-stepping algorithm for two-dimensional nonlinear unsteady surface and interfacial waves. The algorithm uses Cauchy's integral formula, which only requires information on the interface, to solve Laplace equation by using…
A method for solving the half-space Sommerfeld problem is proposed, which allows us to obtain exact solutions in the form of Sommerfeld integrals, as well as their short-wave asymptotics. The first carried out by reducing the Sommerfeld…
