Diffraction is one of the universal phenomena of physics, and a way to overcome it has always represented a challenge for physicists. In order to control diffraction, the study of structured waves has become decisive. Here, we present a…
It is well-known that one-dimensional time fractional diffusion-wave equations with variable coefficients can be reduced to ordinary fractional differential equations and systems of linear fractional differential equations via scaling…
In a previous paper [Phys. Rev. E64 (2001) 066603; e-print physics/0001039], we showed that localized Superluminal solutions to the Maxwell equations exist, which propagate down (non-evanescence) regions of a metallic cylindrical waveguide.…
In this work, starting by suitable superpositions of equal-frequency Bessel beams, we develop a theoretical and experimental methodology to obtain localized stationary wave fields, with high transverse localization, whose longitudinal…
Maxwell's equations resemble Schr\"odinger's equation in that an exact solution for a well-defined model delivers all physically relevant details. Solvable microscopic electrodynamic models, however, are rare. An exception is the discrete…
We show that in the linear approximation there are three classes of reflectionless wave propagation on a surface of shallow water in the channel with spatially varying depth, width, and current speed. Two of these classes have been…
In this paper we set forth new exact analytical Superluminal localized solutions to the wave equation for arbitrary frequencies and adjustable bandwidth. The formulation presented here is rather simple, and its results can be expressed in…

The Helmholtz equation in one dimension, which describes the propagation of electromagnetic waves in effectively one-dimensional systems, is equivalent to the time-independent Schr\"odinger equation. The fact that the potential term…
The Duffin-Kemmer form of massless vector field (Maxwell field) is extended to the case of arbitrary pseudo-Riemannian space-time in accordance with the tetrad recipe of Tetrode-Weyl-Fock-Ivanenko. In this approach, the Maxwell equations…
Consider a bounded solution of the focusing, energy-critical wave equation that does not scatter to a linear solution. We prove that this solution converges in some weak sense, along a sequence of times and up to scaling and space…
We present a scheme for numerically solving Maxwell's equations in a weakly perturbed spacetime without introducing the usual geometric optics approximation. Using this scheme, we study light propagation through a spherical perturbation of…
We lift the constraint of a diagonal representation of the Hamiltonian by searching for square integrable bases that support an infinite tridiagonal matrix representation of the wave operator. The class of solutions obtained as such…
In this paper we study a class of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations which admit families of small solitary wave solutions. We consider solutions which are small in the energy space $H^1$, and decompose them into solitary wave and dispersive…
This paper presents a brief review of the newly developed \emph{Extended Electrodynamics}. The relativistic and non-relativistic approaches to the extension of Maxwell equations are considered briefly, and the further study is carried out…
The robustness of XRD methods for the determination of the lattice parameters of crystals is well established. These methods have been extended to helical atomic structures using twisted x-rays \cite{friesecke_twisted_2016}. Building on an…
We present a large-amplitude existence theory for two-dimensional solitary waves propagating through a two layer body of water. The domain of the fluid is bounded below by an impermeable flat ocean floor and above by a free boundary at…
It is now wellknown that Maxwell equations admit of wavelet-type solutions endowed with arbitrary group-velocities (0 < v_g < infinity). Some of them, which are rigidly moving and have been called localized solutions, attracted large…
A model of steady-state X-shaped wave generation by a superluminal (supersonic) pointlike source infinitely moving along a straight line is extended to a more realistic causal scenario of a source pulse launched at time zero and propagating…
In this paper we analyze the properties of chirped optical X-shaped pulses propagating in material media without boundaries. We show that such ("superluminal") pulses may recover their transverse and longitudinal shape after some…
