In this article we are concerned with the existence and orbital stability of traveling wave solutions of a general class of nonlocal wave equations: utt − Luxx = B(±|u|u)xx, p > 1. The main characteristic of this class of equations is the existence of two sources of dispersion, characterized by two coercive pseudo-differential operatorsL and B. Members of the class arise as mathematical models ...

We present some variants of Burgers-type equations for incompressible and isothermal planar flow of viscous non-Newtonian fluids based on the Cross, the Carreau and the power-law rheology models, and on a symmetry assumption on the flow. We numerically solve the associated traveling wave equations by using industrial data and in order to validate the models we prove existence and uniqueness of ...

We calculate exactly the velocity and diffusion constant of a microscopic stochastic model of N evolving particles which can be described by a noisy traveling-wave equation with a noise of order N(-1/2). Our model can be viewed as the infinite range limit of a directed polymer in random medium with N sites in the transverse direction. Despite some peculiarities of the traveling-wave equations i...

A midsystolic plateau differentiates the pattern of fetal pulmonary trunk blood flow from aortic flow. To determine whether this plateau arises from interactions between the left (LV) and right ventricle (RV) via the ductus arteriosus or from interactions between the RV and the lung vasculature, we measured blood flows and pressures in the pulmonary trunk and aorta of eight anesthetized (ketami...

The meaningful distance to biological organisms is not necessarily one measured by the Euclidean metric but possibly one by a metric that counts the amount of resources such as food. It is assumed in this paper that the distance for biological organisms is measured by the amount of food between two places. A new chemotaxis model is introduced as an application of this “metric of food”. It is sh...

In this paper, we employ extended tanh-function method and the (G0 G )-expansion method to find the exact traveling wave solutions involving parameters of nonlinear evolution equation Modified Liouville equation and comparison between this two method and another method which have been solved it. When these parameters are taken to be special values, the solitary wave solutions are derived from t...

We study a free boundary problem of two competing species with latent heat effect. establish the existence and uniqueness traveling wave solution derive upper lower bounds for speed. Especially our results show that retards propagation waves.

Based on Codeço's cholera model (2001), an epidemic cholera model that incorporates the pathogen diffusion and disease-related death is proposed. The formula for minimal wave speed c (∗) is given. To prove the existence of traveling wave solutions, an invariant cone is constructed by upper and lower solutions and Schauder's fixed point theorem is applied. The nonexistence of traveling wave solu...

A simple model is studied for the chemotactic movement of biological cells in the presence of a periodic chemical wave. It incorporates the feature of adaptation that may play an important role in allowing for “rectified” chemotaxis: motion opposite the direction of wave propagation. The conditions under which such rectification occurs are elucidated in terms of the form and speed of the chemic...

The purpose of this paper is to study traveling wave fronts of a two-dimensional (2D) lattice delayed differential equation with global interaction. Applying the comparison principle combined with the technical weighted-energy method, we prove that any given traveling wave front with large speed is time-asymptotically stable when the initial perturbation around the wave front need decay to zero...
