Third-order nonlinear dispersion equations (NDEs) are shown to admit both shock and rarefaction waves (as weak solutions), which are distinguished by a smooth deformation approach. Compacton-type travelling wave solutions are proved to be…

We consider reaction-diffusion equations that are stochastically forced by a small multiplicative noise term. We show that spectrally stable traveling wave solutions to the deterministic system retain their orbital stability if the…
The aim is to assess the combined effect of diffusion and dispersion on shocks in the moderate dispersion regime. For a diffusive dispersive approximation of the equations of one-dimensional elasticity (or p-system), we study convergence of…
We study fully nonlinear second-order (forward) stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). They can also be viewed as forward path-dependent PDEs (PPDEs) and will be treated as rough PDEs (RPDEs) under a unified framework. We…

We study a dispersive counterpart of the classical gas dynamics problem of the interaction of a shock wave with a counter-propagating simple rarefaction wave often referred to as the shock wave refraction. The refraction of a…
We study nonlinear pantograph-type reaction-diffusion PDEs, which, in addition to the unknown $u=u(x,t)$, also contain the same functions with dilated or contracted arguments of the form $w=u(px,t)$, $w=u(x,qt)$, and $w=u(px,qt)$, where $p$…
We extend Regularised Diffusion-Shock (RDS) filtering from Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}_2$ [1] to position-orientation space $\mathbb{M}_2 \cong \mathbb{R}^2 \times S^1$. This has numerous advantages, e.g. making it possible to enhance and…

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…
A novel symmetry method for finding exact solutions to nonlinear PDEs is illustrated by applying it to a semilinear reaction-diffusion equation in multi-dimensions. The method uses a separation ansatz to solve an equivalent first-order…
Space and time scales are not independent in diffusion. In fact, numerical simulations show that different patterns are obtained when space and time steps ($\Delta x$ and $\Delta t$) are varied independently. On the other hand, anisotropy…
There are a number of situations in which rescaled interacting particle systems have been shown to converge to a reaction diffusion equation (RDE) with a bistable reaction term. These RDEs have traveling wave solutions. When the speed of…
