We develop a general approach to the description of dispersive shock waves (DSWs) for a class of nonlinear wave equations with a nonlocal Benjamin-Ono type dispersion term involving the Hilbert transform. Integrability of the governing…

It is shown that the generalized discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation can be reduced in a small amplitude approximation to the KdV, mKdV, KdV(2) or the fifth-order KdV equations, depending on values of the parameters. In dispersionless…

We report on the experimental observation of a transition from a dispersive wave turbulence regime to a nondispersive regime involving shock waves on the surface of a fluid. We use a magnetic fluid in a canal subjected to an external…

We review various methods for the analysis of initial-value problems for integrable dispersive equations in the weak-dispersion or semiclassical regime. Some methods are sufficiently powerful to rigorously explain the generation of…

We survey recent advances in the analysis of the large data global (and asymptotic) behaviour of nonlinear dispersive equations such as the nonlinear wave (NLW), nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS), wave maps (WM), Schr\"odinger maps (SM),…

In most classical fluids, shock waves are strongly dissipative, their energy being quickly lost through viscous damping. But in systems such as cold plasmas, superfluids, and Bose-Einstein condensates, where viscosity is negligible or…

Recent experiments and simulations have shown that unsteady turbulent flows, before reaching a dynamic equilibrium state, display a universal behaviour. We show that the observed universal non-equilibrium scaling can be explained using a…

The phase diffusion in a self-sustained oscillator, which produces oscillator's spectral linewidth, is inherently governed by a nonlinear Langevin equation. Over past 40 years, the equation has been treated with linear approximation,…

We present a way to deal with dispersion-dominated ``shock-type'' transition in the absence of completely integrable structure for the systems that one may characterize as strictly hyperbolic regularized by a small amount of dispersion. The…

Dissipationless hydrodynamics regularized by dispersion describe a number of physical media including water waves, nonlinear optics, and Bose-Einstein condensates. As in the classical theory of hyperbolic equations where a non-convex flux…

We present a linear dispersive partial differential equation which manifests a number of qualitative features of dispersive shocks, typically thought to occur only in nonlinear models. The model captures much of the short time phenomenon…

The shock wave structure in a one-dimensional lattice (e.g. granular chain) with a power law dependence of force on displacement between particles with viscous dissipation is considered and compared to the corresponding long wave…

Dynamical universality plays a fundamental role in understanding the scaling properties of critical dynamics, including absorbing phase transitions and physical aging. Although individual universality classes have been extensively studied,…

This paper studies the stability and large-time behavior of the three-dimensional (3-D) Boltzmann equation near shock profiles. We prove the nonlinear stability of the composite wave consisting of two shock profiles under general…

Dispersive shock waves (DSWs) in the three dimensional Benjamin- Ono (3DBO) equation is studied with step-like initial condition along a paraboloid front. By using a similarity reduction, problem of studying DSWs in three space one time…

We theoretically describe the quasi one-dimensional transverse spreading of a light pulse propagating in a nonlinear optical material in the presence of a uniform background light intensity. For short propagation distances the pulse can be…

The nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation and the Whitham modulation equations both describe slowly varying, locally periodic nonlinear wavetrains, albeit in differing amplitude-frequency domains. In this paper, we take advantage of the…

Phase transitions in active fluids attracted significant attention within the last decades. Recent results show [L. Chen et al., New J. Phys. 17, 042002 (2015)] that an order-disorder phase transition in incompressible active fluids belongs…

The analysis of nonlinear wave equations has experienced a dramatic growth in the last ten years or so. The key factor in this has been the transition from linear analysis, first to the study of bilinear and multilinear wave interactions,…

Collections of non-Brownian particles suspended in a viscous fluid and subjected to oscillatory shear at very low Reynolds number have recently been shown to exhibit a remarkable dynamical phase transition separating reversible from…
