Localized waves in inhomogeneous media
This review examines the localization of one-dimensional nonlinear waves in an inhomogeneous multiphase medium. Particular attention is devoted to the localization of two types of waves, namely, solitary waves (domains) and switching waves that are the separation boundaries between the corresponding phases (domain walls). The localized state of such waves on both point and slowly-varying (in sp...
متن کاملCanonical Hamiltonians for waves in inhomogeneous media
We obtain a canonical form of a quadratic Hamiltonian for linear waves in a weakly inhomogeneous medium. This is achieved by using the WKB representation of wave packets. The canonical form of the Hamiltonian is obtained via the series of canonical Bogolyubov-type and near-identical transformations. Various examples of the application illustrating the main features of our approach are presented...
متن کاملOscillatory waves in inhomogeneous neural media.
In this Letter we show that an inhomogeneous input can induce wave propagation failure in an excitatory neural network due to the pinning of a stationary front or pulse solution. A subsequent reduction in the strength of the input can lead to a Hopf instability of the stationary solution resulting in breatherlike oscillatory waves.
متن کاملRobustness of spiral waves in two-dimensional reactive-diffusive media
The effects of the reaction terms, diffusion coefficients and size of the computational domain on the dynamics of the two-equation Oregonator model in two-dimensional reactive–diffusive media is studied numerically, and it is shown that spiral waves are robust under truncation or expansion of the computational domain. It is also shown that large diffusion coefficients for the inhibitor may resu...
متن کاملDiffusive transport of acoustic waves in strongly scattering media
The diffusive transport of multiply scattered ultrasonic waves is investigated experimentally and theoretically in a simple system consisting of glass beads in water. New experimental results are presented using a novel method for measuring the frequency correlation function of the transmitted acoustic field. The wave diffusion coefficient D is found to vary strongly with frequency when the wav...
