New research by University at Buffalo and University of Colorado Boulder mathematicians has uncovered and characterized novel two-dimensional wave patterns — waves that propagate along two directions ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Last year, onlookers observed a startling site on China’s Qiantang River: waves forming a grid-like pattern. Dubbed the “matrix tide,” this complex wave pattern was caused by the river ...

Researchers studying wave breaking have found that axisymmetric 'spike waves' can far exceed limits that were previously thought to dictate the maximum height of ocean waves. Researchers studying wave ...

We study wave propagation in a one-dimensional random medium whose index of refraction is characterized randomly and is assumed to have small fluctuations about the mean. The appropriate stochastic ...

Under investigation in this paper is a (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS), which is a generalisation of the NLS equation. By virtue of Wronskian determinants, an effective method ...

A crystal is a solid material whose constituents atoms are arranged in a periodic fashion. A charge density wave (CDW) is a quantum mechanical phenomenon observed in some crystals with metallic ...
