Self-similarly expanding networks to curve shortening flow

Oliver C. Schnürer, Felix Schulze (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We consider a network in the Euclidean plane that consists of three distinct half-lines with common start points. From that network as initial condition, there exists a network that consists of three curves that all start at one point, where they form 120 degree angles, and expands homothetically under curve shortening flow. We also prove uniqueness of these networks.

Solitary wave and other solutions for nonlinear heat equations

Anatoly Nikitin, Tetyana Barannyk (2004)

Open Mathematics

A number of explicit solutions for the heat equation with a polynomial non-linearity and for the Fisher equation is presented. An extended class of non-linear heat equations admitting solitary wave solutions is described. The generalization of the Fisher equation is proposed whose solutions propagate with arbitrary ad hoc fixed velocity.

Solitons of the sine-Gordon equation coming in clusters.

Cornelia Schiebold (2002)

Revista Matemática Complutense

In the present paper, we construct a particular class of solutions of the sine-Gordon equation, which is the exact analogue of the so-called negatons, a solution class of the Korteweg-de Vries equation discussed by Matveev [17] and Rasinariu et al. [21]. Their characteristic properties are: Each solution consists of a finite number of clusters. Roughly speaking, in such a cluster solitons are grouped around a center, and the distance between two of them grows logarithmically. The clusters themselves...
