We consider a version of the classical Hamiltonian FPU (Fermi-Pasta-Ulam) problem with nonlinear force-strain relation in which a hardening response is taken over by a softening regime above a critical strain value. We show that in addition…
We propose a new type of traveling wave pattern, one that can adapt to the size of physical system in which it is embedded. Such a system arises when the initial state has an instability that extends down to zero wavevector, connecting at…

We study a straight infinite planer waveguide with, so called, leaky wire attached to the walls of the waveguide. The wire is modelled by an attractive delta interaction supported by a finite segment. If the wire is placed perpendicularly…

We discuss the low-temperature dynamics of magnetic flux lines in high-temperature superconductors in the presence of a family of parallel twin planes that contain the $c$ axis. A current applied along the twin planes drives flux motion in…
We demonstrate a new class of elastic waves in the bulk: When longitudinal and transverse components propagate at the same speed, rolling waves with a spin that is not parallel to the wave vector can emerge. First, we give a general…
