The ability to perfectly guide surface electromagnetic waves around ultra-sharp corners without back-scattering and radiation is in great demand for various photonic and plasmonic applications. This is fundamentally difficult to realize…
The traveling waves for surface diffusion of plane curves are studied. We consider an evolving plane curve with two endpoints, which can move freely on the x-axis with generating constant contact angles. For the evolution of this plane…
A novel mathematical nonlinear theory of surface gravity waves in deep water is presented, in which analytical analysis of the classical nonlinear equations of fluid dynamics is performed under less restrictive assumptions than those…
In this paper we examine the flow generated by coupled surface and internal small-amplitude water waves in a two-fluid layer model, where we take the upper layer to be rotational (constant vorticity) and the lower layer to be irrotational.…
Solitary-like surface waves that originate from the spatio-temporal evolution of falling liquid films have been the subject of theoretical and experimental research due to their unique properties that are not readily observed in the…
This paper is concerned with pulsating waves for multi-dimensional reaction-diffusion equations in spatially periodic media. First, assuming the existence of pulsating waves connecting two linearly stable steady states, we study the…
This work is concerned with the propagation of electromagnetic waves in isotropic chiral media and with the effects produced by a plane boundary between two such media. In analogy with the phenomena of reflection and refraction of plane…
Waves in excitable media can be treated by a simple geometric theory. The propagation velocity is assumed known and evolution of wave fronts is determined by elementary physical principles (Fermat's principle, Huygens' principle). Based on…
The problem of a viscous flow past a submerged source starting from rest and moving with a constant velocity, below and parallel to a free surface is examined. Asymptotic expressions for long-time evolution of free-surface elevation are…
We investigate fixed energy scattering from conical potentials having an irregular cross-section. The incident wave can be any arbitrary non-trivial Herglotz wave. We show that a large number of such local conical scatterers scatter all…
We overview the properties of nonlinear guided waves and (bright and dark) spatial optical solitons in a periodic medium created by a sequence of linear and nonlinear layers. First, we consider a single layer with a cubic nonlinear response…
Self-complementary metasurfaces have gained significant attention due to their unique frequency-independent transmission and reflection properties and the possibility of the polarization transformation of plane waves. In this paper, we…
We investigate strongly nonlinear stationary gravity waves which experience refraction due to a thin vertical shear layer of horizontal background wind. The velocity amplitude of the waves is of the same order of magnitude as the background…
In this paper, we establish two sharp quantitative results for the direct and inverse time-harmonic acoustic wave scattering. The first one is concerned with the recovery of the support of an inhomogeneous medium, independent of its…
We present a theoretical study of the emission from a superluminal polarization current whose distribution pattern rotates (with an angular frequency $\omega$) and oscillates (with a frequency $\Omega $) at the same time, and which…
In this paper, we investigate the scattering of surface waves on reactive impedance boundaries when the surface impedance undergoes a sudden change in time. We report three exotic wave phenomena. First, it is shown that by switching the…
An exceptional surface wave can propagate in an isolated direction, when guided by the planar interface of two homogeneous dielectric partnering mediums of which at least one is anisotropic, provided that the constitutive parameters of the…
Spiral waves are ubiquitous in two-dimensional systems of chemical or biological oscillators coupled locally by diffusion. At the center of such spirals is a phase singularity, a topological defect where the oscillator amplitude drops to…
This paper extends current knowledge on electromagnetic wave scattering from bounded moving media in several regards. First, it complements the usual dispersion relation of moving media, $\omega(\theta_\mathbf{k})$ ($\theta_\mathbf{k}$:…
The propagation of a nonlinear stationary thermomagnetic wave in superconducting media is qualitatively analyzed in view of the effect of an external magnetic field. The velocity and the thickness of the wave front are estimated. It is…
