The possibility has been suggested that high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations observed in low-mass X-ray binaries are resonantly excited disk oscillations in deformed (warped or eccentric) relativistic disks (Kato 2004). In this paper…
In many biological systems localized mechanical information is transmitted by mechanically neutral chemical signals. Typical examples include contraction waves in acto-myosin cortex at cellular scale and peristaltic waves at tissue level.…
We study how nonlinear delayed-feedback in the Ikeda model can induce solitary impulses, i.e. dissipative solitons. The states are clearly identified in a virtual space-time representation of the equations with delay, and we find that…

We present a mesoscopic model for reactive shock waves, which extends a previous model proposed in [G. Stoltz, Europhys. Lett. 76 (2006), 849]. A complex molecule (or a group of molecules) is replaced by a single mesoparticle, evolving…
Periodically driven systems are a common topic in modern physics. In optical lattices specifically, driving is at the origin of many interesting phenomena. However, energy is not conserved in driven systems, and under periodic driving,…

Rapid gamma-ray flares pose an astrophysical puzzle, requiring mechanisms both to accelerate energetic particles and to produce fast observed variability. These dual requirements may be satisfied by collisionless relativistic magnetic…
Rotating spiral waves with a central core composed of phase-randomized oscillators can arise in reaction-diffusion systems if some of the chemical components involved are diffusion-free. This peculiar phenomenon is demonstrated for a…

We consider in this paper a diffusion-convection reaction equation in one space dimension. The main assumptions are about the reaction term, which is monostable, and the diffusivity, which changes sign once or twice; then, we deal with a…
Mechanical systems can display topological characteristics similar to that of topological insulators. Here we report a large class of topological mechanical systems related to the BDI symmetry class. These are self-assembled chains of rigid…
