We study asymptotic solutions to a singularly-perturbed, period-2 Toda lattice and use exponential asymptotics to examine `nanoptera', which are nonlocal solitary waves with constant-amplitude, exponentially small wave trains. With this…
In this paper we describe the asymptotic behavior, in the exponential time scale, of solutions to quasi-linear parabolic equations with a small parameter at the second order term and the long time behavior of corresponding diffusion…

Linearized flow past a submerged obstacle with an elastic sheet resting on the flow surface are studied in the limit that the bending length is small compared to the obstacle depth, in two and three dimensions. Gravitational effects are…
A perturbation decaying to 0 at infinity and not too irregular at 0 introduces at most a discrete set of eigenvalues into the spectral gaps of a one-dimensional Dirac operator on the half-line. We show that the number of these eigenvalues…

In this study, we consider the asymptotic behaviour of the first discrete Painlev\{e} equation in the limit as the independent variable becomes large. Using an asymptotic series expansion, we identify two types of solutions which are…
In the study of low-speed or low-Froude flows of a potential gravity-driven fluid past a wave-generating object, the traditional asymptotic expansion in powers of the Froude number predicts a waveless free-surface at every order. This is…

The spectra of particles in disordered lattices can either be completely extended or localized or can be intermediate which hosts both the localized and extended states separated from each other. In this work, however, we show that in the…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a spectral problem for the Laplacian in a domain with rapidly oscillating boundary. We consider the case where the eigenvalue of the limit problem is multiple. We construct the leading…

Rayleigh-Schr\"{o}dinger perturbation theory is a well-known theory in quantum mechanics and it offers useful characterization of eigenvectors of a perturbed matrix. Suppose $A$ and perturbation $E$ are both Hermitian matrices, $A^t = A +…
When traditional linearised theory is used to study gravity-capillary waves produced by flow past an obstruction, the geometry of the object is assumed to be small in one or several of its dimensions. In order to preserve the nonlinear…
We are interested in a non-local partial differential equation modeling equal mitosis. We prove that the solutions present persistent asymptoticoscillations and that the convergence to this periodic behavior, in suitable spaces of weighted…

We describe the spectrum of a non-self-adjoint elliptic system on a finite interval. Under certain conditions we find that the eigenvalues form a discrete set and converge asymptotically at infinity to one of several straight lines. The…
This paper is a continuation a previous work of the authors where parametric Gevrey asymptotics for singularly perturbed nonlinear PDEs has been studied. Here, the partial differential operators are combined with particular Moebius…
