Wave maps (or Lorentzian-harmonic maps) from a $1+1$-dimensional Lorentz space into the $2$-sphere are associated to constant negative Gaussian curvature surfaces in Euclidean 3-space via the Gauss map, which is harmonic with respect to the…

It is well-established that Whitham's modulation equations approximate the dynamics of slowly varying periodic wave trains in dispersive systems. We are interested in its validity in dissipative systems with a conservation law. The…
