An auxiliary elliptic equation method is presented for constructing exact solitary and periodic travelling-wave solutions of the K(2, 2) equation (defocusing branch). Some known results in the literature are recovered more efficiently, and some new exact travelling-wave solutions are obtained. Also, new stationary-wave solutions are obtained.

This paper is concerned with the diffusive Nicholson’s blowflies model with nonlocal (or spatiotemporal) delay. When the spatial variable is one-dimensional, we establish the existence of travelling wave-front solutions by using the approach developed by Wang, Li, and Ruan (J. Differ. Equ. 222, 185–232, 2006) on the existence of travelling front solutions of reaction–diffusion systems with nonl...

The existence of travelling wave solutions to a haptotaxis dominated model is analysed. A version of this model has been derived in Perumpanani et al (1999) to describe tumour invasion, where diffusion is neglected as it is assumed to play only a small role in the cell migration. By instead allowing diffusion to be small, we reformulate the model as a singular perturbation problem, which can th...

This paper is concerned with the existence of travelling wave solutions in a class of delayed reaction–diffusion systems without monotonicity, which concludes two-species diffusion–competition models with delays. Previous methods do not apply in solving these problems because the reaction terms do not satisfy either the so-called quasimonotonicity condition or non-quasimonotonicity condition. B...

The cubic complex one-dimensional Ginzburg–Landau equation is considered. Using the Hone’s method, based on the use of the Laurent-series solutions and the residue theorem, we have proved that this equation has neither elliptic standing wave no elliptic travelling wave solution. This result amplifies the Hone’s result, that this equation has no elliptic travelling wave solution.

An active antenna for transmitter application in S frequency band is designed and analyzed using harmonic balance technique which is based on the nonlinear model of active devices. In this active antenna, the amplifier is integrated with the radiator which is a rectangular patch antenna. This patch antenna is analyzed employing full-wave momentum method. By applying nonlinear model of transisto...

We propose a model for transport of solutes in a porous medium participating in a dissolu-tion/precipitation reaction, in general not in equilibrium. For an unbounded spatial domain, travelling wave solutions exist, if and only if the charge distribution is constant and we deal with a dissolution situation. The travelling wave in fact exhibits a sharp dissolution front. The wave is given in a n...

For a simple one dimensional lattice version of a travelling wave equation, we obtain an exact relation between the initial condition and the position of the front at any later time. This exact relation takes the form of an inverse problem: given the times tn at which the travelling wave reaches the positions n, one can deduce the initial profile.We show, bymeans of complex analysis, that a num...

Travelling wave in a helical wave guide is considered for electron acceleration. A first determination of the travelling wave modes using a partial wave expansion (PWE) and a point matching method is presented. It gives a rapid solution for moderate deformation of the guide relative to a straight cylinder. Strong deformations will give higher accelerating gradient but the PWE diverges. Two meth...
