We study multiplicity of the supercritical traveling front solutions for scalar reaction-diffusion equations in infinite cylinders which invade a linearly unstable equilibrium. These equations are known to possess traveling wave solutions connecting an unstable equilibrium to the closest stable equilibrium for all speeds exceeding a critical value. We show that these are, in fact, the only trav...

By using the integral bifurcation method, a generalized Tzitzéica-Dodd-Bullough-Mikhailov (TDBM) equation is studied. Under different parameters, we investigated different kinds of exact traveling wave solutions of this generalized TDBM equation. Many singular traveling wave solutions with blow-up form and broken form, such as periodic blow-up wave solutions, solitary wave solutions of blow-up ...

In this paper, we propose a susceptible-infective-recovered (SIR) epidemic model to describe the geographic spread of an infectious disease in two groups/ sub-populations living in a spatially continuous habitat. It is assumed that the susceptibility of individuals for infection and the infectivity of individuals are distinct between these two groups/sub-populations. It is also assumed that the...

State transitions in the nervous system often take shape as traveling waves, whereby one neural state is replaced by another across space in a wave-like manner. In visual perception, transitions between the two mutually exclusive percepts that alternate when the two eyes view conflicting stimuli (binocular rivalry) may also take shape as traveling waves. The properties of these waves point to a...

In many problems, e.g., in combustion or solidification, one observes traveling waves that propagate with constant velocity and shape in the x direction, say, are independent of y and z and describe transitions between two equilibrium states, e.g., the burned and the unburned reactants. As parameters of the system are varied, these traveling waves can become unstable and give rise to waves havi...

Using a traveling wave reduction technique, we have shown that Maccari equation, (2?1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation, medium equal width equation, (3?1)-dimensional modified KdV–Zakharov– Kuznetsev equation, (2?1)-dimensional long wave-short wave resonance interaction equation, perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation can be reduced to the same family of auxiliary elliptic-like equ...

In this article, we introduce an ansatz involving exact traveling wave solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations. To obtain wave solutions using direct method, the choice of an appropriate ansatz is of great importance. We apply this ansatz to examine new and further general traveling wave solutions to the (1+1)-dimensional modified Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation. Abundant traveling ...

We report an experimental study of traveling-wave convection patterns in a binary mixture of ethanol and water. We survey the patterns observed in a large aspect ratio cylindrical container over a broad range of Rayleigh numbers. It is found that disordered patterns observed immediately after travelingwave convection is initiated evolve toward organized multi-domain patterns, and that the natur...

Employing theoretical models, we show that the sterile insect release method (SIRM) can give rise to traveling waves of fertile insects. The velocity of these waves depends critically upon the density of sterile insects (and thus upon the rate at which sterile individuals are being released into the environment). When the sterile density is sufficiently low, the traveling wave advances, giving ...
