We study a non-reciprocal version of Model B, as the continuum theory for non-reciprocal particle mixtures. In contrast to non-reciprocal Cahn-Hilliard models, it is important in this context to consider the dependence of mobility…

The lambda-phi4 kink is linearly and topologically stable. We study how extra energy perturbations are dissipated beyond the linear regime. We found that depending on the width, amplitude and energy of a Gaussian perturbation different…

We introduce a model of friction between two contacting (stationary or co-sliding) rough surfaces, each comprising a random ensemble of polydisperse hemispherical bumps. In the simplest version of the model, the bumps experience on contact…

We study the elasticity of the collision of two kinks with an incoming low speed $v\in (0,1)$ for the nonlinear wave equation in dimension $1+1$ known as the $\phi^{6}$ model. We prove for any $k\in\mathbb{N}$ that if the incoming speed $v$…
