Qualitative behaviour for flux-saturated mechanisms: travelling waves, waiting time and smoothing effects

passivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading

this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

Travelling waves and a fruitful ‘time’ reparametrization in relativistic electrodynamics

We simplify the nonlinear equations of motion of charged particles in an external electromagnetic field that is the sum of a plane travelling wave F t (ct−z) and a static part F s (x, y, z): by adopting the light-like coordinate ξ = ct−z instead of time t as an independent variable in the Action, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian, and deriving the new Euler-Lagrange and Hamilton equations accordingly,...

Synaptic travelling waves

An important goal of neuroscience is to establish a series of direct links between the abstract nature of biophysical model equations and their interpretation in terms of experimental findings in biological neural networks. I propose to address this issue by developing a novel mathematical analysis of the dynamics of synaptically interacting neural systems and by establishing a framework for co...
