Periodic waves of the one-dimensional cubic defocusing NLS equation are considered. Using tools from integrability theory, these waves have been shown in [Bottman, Deconinck, and Nivala, 2011] to be linearly stable and the Floquet-Bloch…
Neural field equations offer a continuous description of the dynamics of large populations of synaptically coupled neurons. This makes them a convenient tool to describe various neural processes, such as working memory, motion perception,…
The instability and nonlinear evolution of directional ocean waves is investigated numerically by means of simulations of the governing kinetic equation for narrow-band surface waves. Our simulation results reveal the onset of the…
Euler's equations govern the behavior of gravity waves on the surface of an incompressible, inviscid, and irrotational fluid of arbitrary depth. We investigate the spectral stability of sufficiently small-amplitude, one-dimensional Stokes…
This paper is part of a program to combine a staggered time and staggered spatial discretization of continuum wave equations so that important properties of the continuum that are proved using vector calculus can be proven in an analogous…
In this work, a novel Boussinesq system is put forward. The system is naturally nonlinearly entropy/energy-stable, and is designed for problems with sharply varying bathymetric features. The system is flexible and allows tuning of the…
We discuss admissibility and exact observability estimates of boundary observation and interior point observation of a one-dimensional wave equation on a time dependent domain for sufficiently regular boundary functions. We also discuss…

In this paper, we study the rapid stabilization of an unstable wave equation, in which an unknown disturbance is located at the boundary condition. We address two different boundary conditions: Dirichlet- Dirichlet and Dirichlet-Neumann. In…
Reaction-nonlinear diffusion partial differential equations can exhibit shock-fronted travelling wave solutions. Prior work by Yi et. al. (2021) has demonstrated the existence of such waves for two classes of regularisations, including…
Nonlinear waves are a robust phenomenon observed in complex systems ranging from mechanics to ecology. Fronts are fundamental due to their robustness against perturbations and capacity to propagate one state over another. Controlling and…
In the first part of this article, I summarise two centuries of research on turbulence. I also critically discuss some of the interpretations that are still in use, as turbulence remains an inherently non-linear problem that is still…
The study of the Euler equations in flows with constant vorticity has piqued the curiosity of a considerable number of researchers over the years. Much research has been conducted on this subject under the assumption of steady flow. In this…
The description of complex wave processes, in addition to the shoaling problem, is often cumbersome even for the evolution of regular waves. For reflection under the regime of wave breaking, the surf similarity is generally accepted as the…
These lecture notes are based on lectures given by the author at the Les Houches 2025 summer school on "Exact Solvability and Quantum Information". The central theme of these notes is to apply the philosophy of statistical mechanics to…
In this paper we establish the orbital stability of periodic waves related to the logarithmic Korteweg-de Vries equation. Our motivation is inspired in the recent work \cite{carles}, in which the authors established the well-posedness and…
This paper is a continuation of research started in [7] devoted to explicit asymptotic formulas for standing coastal-trapped waves. Our main goal is to construct formal asymptotic eigenfunctions of the wave operator $\langle \nabla,…
These are notes for the course CS-172 I first taught in the Fall 1986 at UC Berkeley and subsequently at Boston University. The goal was to introduce the undergraduates to basic concepts of Theory of Computation and to provoke their…
