We study travelling fronts of equations of the form $u_{tt} + \phi(u) u_x = u_{xx} + f(u)$. A criterion for the transition from linear to nonlinear marginal stability is established for positive functions $\phi(u)$ and for any reaction term…

This paper addresses the existence and spectral stability of traveling fronts for nonlinear hyperbolic equations with a positive "damping" term and a reaction function of bistable type. Particular cases of the former include the relaxed…
It is known that the Swift-Hohenberg equation $\partial u/\partial t = -(\partial_x^2 + 1)^2u + \varepsilon (u-u^3)$ can be reduced to the Ginzburg-Landau equation (amplitude equation) $\partial A/\partial t = 4\partial_x^2 A + \varepsilon…
We consider the implementation of the split-step method where the linear part of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation is solved using a finite-difference discretization of the spatial derivative. The von Neumann analysis predicts that this…
We give an iterative method to estimate the disturbance of semi-wavefronts of the equation: $\dot{u}(t,x) = u''(t,x) +u(t,x)(1-u(t-h,x)),$ $x \in \mathbb{R},\ t >0;$ where $h>0.$ As a consequence, we show the exponential stability, with an…
We consider the damped wave equation \alpha u_tt + u_t = u_xx - V'(u) on the whole real line, where V is a bistable potential. This equation has travelling front solutions of the form u(x,t) = h(x-st) which describe a moving interface…

When the steady states at infinity become unstable through a pattern forming bifurcation, a travelling wave may bifurcate into a modulated front which is time-periodic in a moving frame. This scenario has been studied by B.Sandstede and…

We consider the one-dimensional Swift-Hohenberg equation coupled to a conservation law. As a parameter increases the system undergoes a Turing bifurcation. We study the dynamics near this bifurcation. First, we show that stationary,…
The nonlinear Schroedinger equation has several families of quasi-periodic travelling waves, each of which can be parametrized up to symmetries by two real numbers: the period of the modulus of the wave profile, and the variation of its…
Traveling oscillating fronts (TOFs) are specific waves of the form $U_\star (x,t) = e^{-i \omega t} V_\star(x - ct)$ with a profile $V_{\star}$ which decays at $- \infty$ but approaches a nonzero limit at $+\infty$. TOFs usually appear in…
