Modulations in the leading edges of midlatitude storm tracks
Downstream development is a term encompassing a variety of effects relating to the propagation of storm systems at midlatitude. We investigate a mechanism behind downstream …
Interaction of sine-Gordon kinks with defects: phase space transport in a two-mode model
We study a model derived by Fei et al. [Phys. Rev. A 45 (1992) 6019] of a kink solution to the sine-Gordon equation interacting with an impurity mode. The model is a …
Nonlinear propagation of light in one-dimensional periodic structures
We consider the nonlinear propagation of light in an optical fiber waveguide as modeled by the anharmonic Maxwell-Lorentz equations (AMLE). The waveguide is assumed to have an …
Trigger Waves in a Model for Catalysis
We consider the model of catalysis due to Ziff, Gulari, and Barshad [Phys Rev. Lett. 56, 2553 (1986)] as a pattern formation problem. We find that the model supports trigger waves …
