When a periodic 1D system described by a tight-binding model is uniformly initialized with equal amplitudes at all sites, yet with completely random phases, it evolves into a thermal distribution with no spatial correlations. However, when…
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…
Lying between traditional parabolic and hyperbolic equations, time-fractional wave equations of order $\alpha\in(1,2)$ in time inherit both decaying and oscillating properties. In this article, we establish a long-time asymptotic estimate…

An asymptotic limit of a class of Cahn-Hilliard systems is investigated to obtain a general nonlinear diffusion equation. The target diffusion equation may reproduce a number of well-known model equations: Stefan problem, porous media…
Wave propagation of field disturbances is ubiquitous. The electromagnetic and gravitational are cousin theories in which the corresponding waves play a relevant role to understand several related physical. It has been established that small…
In this work, we consider a nonlocal Fisher-KPP reaction-diffusion problem with Neumann boundary condition and nonnegative initial data in a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n (n \ge 1)$, with reaction term $u^\alpha(1-m(t))$, where $m(t)$ is…
