We study Neumann type boundary value problems for nonlocal equations related to L\'evy processes. Since these equations are nonlocal, Neumann type problems can be obtained in many ways, depending on the kind of reflection we impose on the…

The reflection of a normally incident wideband pulse by a half-space whose permittivity and permeability obey the one-resonance Lorentz model is calculated. The results are compared with those from frequency-domain reflection analysis. In…
Recently, there has been much interest in black hole echoes, based on the idea that there may be some mechanism (e.g., from quantum gravity) that waves/fields falling into a black hole could partially reflect off of an interface before…
The paper is devoted to the investigation of a reaction-diffusion system of equations describing the process of blood coagulation. Existence of pulses solutions, that is, positive stationary solutions with zero limit at infinity is studied.…
We show that nontrivial solutions to higher and fractional order equations with certain nonlinearity are radially symmetric and nonincreasing on geodesic balls in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$ as well as on the entire space…
We report an asymmetric behavior of optical pulses during their propagation through a time-varying linear optical medium. The refractive index of the medium is considered to be varying with time and complex such that a sufficient amount of…
We study the Cauchy problem for general, nonlinear, strictly hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations in one space variable. First, we re-visit the construction of the solution to the Riemann problem and introduce the notion of…
This paper addresses the issue of the formulation of weak solutions to systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws as integral balance laws. The basic idea is that the "meaningful objects" are the fluxes, evaluated across domain…
Nonlinear effects in pulse propagation through a medium consisting of four-level double-$\Lambda$-type systems are studied theoretically. We apply three continous-wave driving fields and a pulsed probe field such that they form a closed…
This work is concerned with the propagation of electromagnetic waves in isotropic chiral media and with the effects produced by a plane boundary between two such media. In analogy with the phenomena of reflection and refraction of plane…
We study the asymptotic behavior of a diffusion process with small diffusion in a domain $D$. This process is reflected at $\partial D$ with respect to a co-normal direction pointing inside $D$. Our asymptotic result is used to study the…
Propagation of extremely short unipolar pulses of electromagnetic field ("videopulses") is considered in the framework of a model in which the material medium is represented by anharmonic oscillators (approximating bound electrons) with…
Any ultrafast optical spectroscopy experiment is usually accompanied by the necessary routine of ultrashort-pulse characterisation. The majority of pulse characterisation approaches solve either a one-dimensional (e.g. via interferometry)…
Optical limiters transmit low-level radiation while blocking electromagnetic pulses with excessively high energy (energy limiters) or with excessively high peak intensity (power limiters). A typical optical limiter absorbs most of the…
Spiral waves in excitable media possess both wave-like and particle-like properties. When resonantly forced (forced at the spiral rotation frequency) spiral cores travel along straight trajectories, but may reflect from medium boundaries.…
We consider hyperbolic equations with time-dependent coefficients and develop an abstract framework to derive the asymptotic behaviour of the representation of solutions for large times. We are dealing with generic situations where the…
