There has been much recent interest, initiated by work of the physicists Hatano and Nelson, in the eigenvalues of certain random non-Hermitian periodic tridiagonal matrices and their bidiagonal limits. These eigenvalues cluster along a…
We study general semilinear scalar-field equations on the real line with variable coefficients in the linear terms. These coefficients are uniformly small, but slowly decaying, perturbations of a constant-coefficient operator. We are…

We demonstrate that it is possible to compute wave function normalization constants for a class of Schr\"odinger type equations by an algorithm which scales linearly (in the number of eigenfunction evaluations) with the desired precision P…
We consider the damped wave semigroup on the tadpole graph ${\mathcal R}$. We first give a meticulous spectral analysis, followed by a judicious decomposition of the resolvent's kernel. As a consequence, and by showing that the generalized…
We model the diffusive shock acceleration of particles in a system of two colliding shock waves and present a method to solve the time-dependent problem analytically in the test-particle approximation and high energy limit. In particular,…
The main purpose of this paper is to obtain analytical solutions for radiative transfer equations related to the vertical structure of accretion discs with finite optical depth. In the non-gray atmosphere, we employ the optical-depth…
Resonantly forced spiral waves in excitable media drift in straight-line paths, their rotation centers behaving as point-like objects moving along trajectories with a constant velocity. Interaction with medium boundaries alters this…
We present a new set of kinematic equations for front motion in bistable media. The equations extend earlier kinematic approaches by coupling the front curvature with the order parameter associated with a parity breaking front bifurcation.…
We study the spectral stability of travelling and stationary front and pulse solutions in a class of degenerate reaction-diffusion systems. We characterise the essential spectrum of the linearised operator in full generality and identify…
Spiral waves are a ubiquitous feature of the nonequilibrium dynamics of a great variety of excitable systems. In the limit of a large separation in timescale between fast excitation and slow recovery, one can reduce the spiral problem to…
Using pointwise semigroup techniques, we establish sharp rates of decay in space and time of a perturbed reaction diffusion front to its time-asymptotic limit. This recovers results of Sattinger, Henry and others of time-exponential…
