We describe the properties of evanescent gravitational waves (EGWs)---wave solutions of Einstein equations which decay exponentially in some direction while propagating in another. Evanescent waves are well-known in acoustics and optics and…

Non--minimal repulsive singularities (``repulsons'') in extended supergravity theories are investigated. The short distance antigravity properties of the repulsons are tested at the classical and the quantum level by a scalar…
Existence, uniqueness and classification is established for plane waves supported by an irreversible reaction which is a smooth function of local reactant and product concentrations (or prey and predator populations). Rudimentary analytic…
