Phase Transition Near a Liquid-Gas Coexistence Equilibrium
Effects of small perturbations from a liquid-gas coexistence equilibrium (the Maxwell states) is studied for an isothermal (or isentropic) gas-liquid phase transition in a sealed o...

An Efficient Numerical Algorithm for Cracks Partly in Frictionless Contact
An algorithm for a loaded crack partly in frictionless contact is presented. The problem is nonlinear in the sense that the equations of linear elasticity are supplemented by certa...

Spatial Noise Stabilizes Periodic Wave Patterns in Oscillatory Systems on Finite Domains
Invasions in oscillatory systems generate in their wake spatiotemporal oscillations, consisting of either periodic wavetrains or irregular oscillations that appear to be spatiotemp...

The "Linear" Limit of Thin Film Flows as an Obstacle-Type Free Boundary Problem
We study the limit as n 0 of the nonnegative, self-similar source-type solutions of the thin film equation ut + (unuxxx)x = 0. We obtain a unique limiting function u, which is a s...

Solitary Waves in a Model of Dendritic Cable with Active Spines
We consider a continuum model of dendritic spines with active membrane dynamics uniformly distributed along a passive dendritic cable. By considering a systematic reduction of the ...

Hopf Bifurcation Subject to a Large Delay in a Laser System
Hopf bifurcation theory for an oscillator subject to a weak feedback but a large delay is investigated for a specific laser system. The problem is motivated by semiconductor laser ...
