It is well established that the solitary waves of FPU-type chains converge in the high-energy limit to traveling waves of the hard-sphere model. In this paper we establish improved asymptotic expressions for the wave profiles as well as an…
Recent asymptotic results by the authors provided detailed information on the shape of solitary high-energy travelling waves in FPU atomic chains. In this note we use and extend the methods to understand the linearisation of the travelling…
We consider infinite FPU-type atomic chains with general convex potentials and study the existence of monotone fronts that are heteroclinic travelling waves connecting constant asymptotic states. Iooss showed that small amplitude fronts…
Traveling waves for the FPU chain are constructed by solving the associated equation for the spatial profile $u$ of the wave. We consider solutions whose derivatives $u'$ need not be small, may change sign several times, but decrease at…
We consider atomic chains with nearest neighbour interactions and study periodic and homoclinic travelling waves which are called wave trains and solitons, respectively. Our main result is a new existence proof which relies on the…
The dynamical stability of solitary lattice waves in non-integrable FPUT chains is a longstanding open problem and has been solved so far only in a certain asymptotic regime, namely by Friesecke and Pego for the KdV limit, in which the…
We study atomic chains with nonlinear nearest neighbour interactions and prove the existence of fronts (heteroclinic travelling waves with constant asymptotic states). Generalizing recent results of Herrmann and Rademacher we allow for…
Ground waves in atomic chains are traveling waves that corresponds to minimal non-trivial critical values of the underlying action functional. In this paper we study FPU-type chains with bi-monomial double-well potential and prove the…
Almost periodic particle chains exhibit peculiar propagation properties that are not observed in perfectly periodic ones. Furthermore, since they inherently support non-negligible long-range interactions and radiation through the…
We introduce a linear programming framework for obtaining upper bounds for the potential energy of spherical codes of fixed cardinality and minimum distance. Using Hermite interpolation we construct polynomials to derive corresponding…
We prove the existence of solitary waves in a lattice where all particles interact with each other by pair-wise repulsive forces that decay with distance. The variational existence proof is based on constrained optimization and provides a…
Connection formulas relating Frobenius solutions of linear ODEs at different Fuchsian singular points can be expressed in terms of the large order asymptotics of the corresponding power series. We demonstrate that for the usual, confluent…
We analyze the fixed-angle high-energy ($\alpha' \to \infty$) structure of $n$-point tree-level string amplitudes from complementary perspectives: locally via saddle-point expansions, algebraically via difference equations and their…
Peridynamics describes the nonlinear interactions in spatially extended Hamiltonian systems by nonlocal integro-differential equations, which can be regarded as the natural generalization of lattice models. We prove the existence of…
Starting from the wave equation for a medium with material properties that vary periodically, we study a system of recurrence relations that describe propagation of wave packets that oscillate on the microscale (i.e. on lengths of the order…
We prove the existence of solitary waves in the KdV limit of two-dimensional FPU-type lattices using asymptotic analysis of nonlinear and singularly perturbed integral equations. In particular, we generalize the existing results by…
Properties of solitary waves in pre-compressed Hertzian chains of particles are studied in the long wavelength limit using a well-known continuum model. Several main results are obtained by parameterizing the solitary waves in terms of…
The dispersive interacting waves in Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) chains of particles in \textit{thermal equilibrium} are studied from both statistical and wave resonance perspectives. It is shown that, even in a strongly nonlinear regime, the…
The wave operators $W_\pm(H_1,H_0)$ of two selfadjoint operators $H_0$ and $H_1$ are analyzed at asymptotic spectral values. Sufficient conditions for $\|(W_\pm(H_1,H_0)-P_{1}^\mathrm{ac}P_{0}^\mathrm{ac})f(H_0)\| <\infty$ are given, where…
The aim of this paper is twofold: - To give an elementary and self-contained proof of an explicit formula for the free energy for a general class of polymer chains interacting with an environment through periodic potentials. This…
