A note on poroacoustic traveling waves under Darcy's law: Exact solutions

P. M. Jordan, J. K. Fulford (2011)

Applications of Mathematics

A mathematical analysis of poroacoustic traveling wave phenomena is presented. Assuming that the fluid phase satisfies the perfect gas law and that the drag offered by the porous matrix is described by Darcy's law, exact traveling wave solutions (TWS)s, as well as asymptotic/approximate expressions, are derived and examined. In particular, stability issues are addressed, shock and acceleration waves are shown to arise, and special/limiting cases are noted. Lastly, connections to other fields are...

Application of a center manifold theory to a reaction-diffusion system of collective motion of camphor disks and boats

Shin-Ichiro Ei, Kota Ikeda, Masaharu Nagayama, Akiyasu Tomoeda (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

Unidirectional motion along an annular water channel can be observed in an experiment even with only one camphor disk or boat. Moreover, the collective motion of camphor disks or boats in the water channel exhibits a homogeneous and an inhomogeneous state, depending on the number of disks or boats, which looks like a kind of bifurcation phenomena. In a theoretical research, the unidirectional motion is represented by a traveling wave solution in a model. Hence it suffices to investigate a linearized...

Bistable traveling waves for monotone semiflows with applications

Jian Fang, Xiao-Qiang Zhao (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

This paper is devoted to the study of traveling waves for monotone evolution systems of bistable type. In an abstract setting, we establish the existence of traveling waves for discrete and continuous-time monotone semiflows in homogeneous and periodic habitats. The results are then extended to monotone semiflows with weak compactness. We also apply the theory to four classes of evolution systems.

Boussinesq/Boussinesq systems for internal waves with a free surface, and the KdV approximation

Vincent Duchêne (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We study here some asymptotic models for the propagation of internal and surface waves in a two-fluid system. We focus on the so-called long wave regime for one-dimensional waves, and consider the case of a flat bottom. Following the method presented in [J.L. Bona, T. Colin and D. Lannes, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 178 (2005) 373–410] for the one-layer case, we introduce a new family of symmetric hyperbolic models, that are equivalent to the classical Boussinesq/Boussinesq system displayed in [W. Choi...

Branching random motions, nonlinear hyperbolic systems and travellind waves

Nikita Ratanov (2006)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

A branching random motion on a line, with abrupt changes of direction, is studied. The branching mechanism, being independent of random motion, and intensities of reverses are defined by a particle's current direction. A solution of a certain hyperbolic system of coupled non-linear equations (Kolmogorov type backward equation) has a so-called McKean representation via such processes. Commonly this system possesses travelling-wave solutions. The convergence of solutions with Heaviside terminal...

Control of Traveling Solutions in a Loop-Reactor

Y. Smagina, M. Sheintuch (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We consider the stabilization of a rotating temperature pulse traveling in a continuous asymptotic model of many connected chemical reactors organized in a loop with continuously switching the feed point synchronously with the motion of the pulse solution. We use the switch velocity as control parameter and design it to follow the pulse: the switch velocity is updated at every step on-line using the discrepancy between the temperature at the front...

Dynamics of Erythroid Progenitors and Erythroleukemia

N. Bessonov, F. Crauste, I. Demin, V. Volpert (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The paper is devoted to mathematical modelling of erythropoiesis, production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. We discuss intra-cellular regulatory networks which determine self-renewal and differentiation of erythroid progenitors. In the case of excessive self-renewal, immature cells can fill the bone marrow resulting in the development of leukemia. We introduce a parameter characterizing the strength of mutation. Depending on its value, leukemia will or will not develop. The simplest...

Existence of quasilinear relaxation shock profiles in systems with characteristic velocities

Guy Métivier, Benjamin Texier, Kevin Zumbrun (2012)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We revisit the existence problem for shock profiles in quasilinear relaxation systems in the case that the velocity is a characteristic mode, implying that the profile ODE is degenerate. Our result states existence, with sharp rates of decay and distance from the Chapman–Enskog approximation, of small-amplitude quasilinear relaxation shocks. Our method of analysis follows the general approach used by Métivier and Zumbrun in the semilinear case, based on Chapman–Enskog expansion and the macro–micro...

Existence of Waves for a Nonlocal Reaction-Diffusion Equation

I. Demin, V. Volpert (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this work we study a nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation arising in population dynamics. The integral term in the nonlinearity describes nonlocal stimulation of reproduction. We prove existence of travelling wave solutions by the Leray-Schauder method using topological degree for Fredholm and proper operators and special a priori estimates of solutions in weighted Hölder spaces.

On the Form of Smooth-Front Travelling Waves in a Reaction-Diffusion Equation with Degenerate Nonlinear Diffusion

J.A. Sherratt (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Reaction-diffusion equations with degenerate nonlinear diffusion are in widespread use as models of biological phenomena. This paper begins with a survey of applications to ecology, cell biology and bacterial colony patterns. The author then reviews mathematical results on the existence of travelling wave front solutions of these equations, and their generation from given initial data. A detailed study is then presented of the form of smooth-front...

On the radius of spatial analyticity for the higher order nonlinear dispersive equation

Aissa Boukarou, Kaddour Guerbati, Khaled Zennir (2022)

Mathematica Bohemica

In this work, using bilinear estimates in Bourgain type spaces, we prove the local existence of a solution to a higher order nonlinear dispersive equation on the line for analytic initial data u 0 . The analytic initial data can be extended as holomorphic functions in a strip around the x -axis. By Gevrey approximate conservation law, we prove the existence of the global solutions, which improve earlier results of Z. Zhang, Z. Liu, M. Sun, S. Li, (2019).
