Traveling waves for the FPU chain are constructed by solving the associated equation for the spatial profile $u$ of the wave. We consider solutions whose derivatives $u'$ need not be small, may change sign several times, but decrease at…
Travelling wave in a helical wave guide is considered for electron acceleration. A first determination of the travelling wave modes using a partial wave expansion (PWE) and a point matching method is presented. It gives a rapid solution for…
While paradoxical linkages famously violate the Chebyshev-Grubler-Kutzbach criterion by exhibiting unexpected mobility, we identify an opposing phenomenon: a class of linkages that appear mobile according to the same criterion, yet are in…
Spatially extended versions of the cyclic-dominance Rock-Paper-Scissors model have traveling wave (in one dimension) and spiral (in two dimensions) behavior. The far field of the spirals behave like traveling waves, which themselves have…
We study the nonlinear dynamics of wave packets in honeycomb lattices, and show that, in quasi-1D configurations, the waves propagating in the lattice can be separated into left-moving and right-moving waves, and any wave packet composed of…
Collective turns in starling flocks propagate linearly with negligible attenuation, indicating the existence of an underdamped sector in the dispersion relation. Beside granting linear propagation of the phase perturbations, the real part…
We present in closed form some special travelling-wave solutions (on the real line or on the circle) of a perturbed sine-Gordon equation. The perturbation of the equation consists of a constant forcing term $\gamma$ and a linear dissipative…

We measure the interaction of a single superfluid vortex with surface irregularities. While vortex pinning in superconductors usually becomes weaker at higher temperatures, we find the opposite behavior. The pinning steadily increases…
We construct multi-phase travelling waves which are periodic in time and quasi-periodic in the spatial variable for infinite nonlinear chains with nearest neighbor interactions. The main difficulty in the construction is a small divisor…
We show using simulations that when interstitial vortices are present in superconductors with periodic pinning arrays, the transport in two perpendicular directions can be anisotropic. The degree of the anisotropy varies as a function of…
Graphene kinks are topological states of buckled graphene membranes. We show that when a moving kink encounters a constriction, there are three general classes of behavior: reflection, trapping, and transmission. Overall, constriction is…
