Soliton Dynamics for Nonlinear Evolution Equations — NSF Award to University of Maryland, College Park (MD, $200,000)
The natural world is governed by wave equations: the electricity on a circuit board, the light in fiber-optic cables, the elementary particles inside atoms, and even the black hole in the center of the galaxy all propagate by wave dynamics. Though ubiquitous, wave-type equations are far from being well understood. A go

| Abstract | The natural world is governed by wave equations: the electricity on a circuit board, the light in fiber-optic cables, the elementary particles inside atoms, and even the black hole in the center of the galaxy all propagate by wave dynamics. Though ubiquitous, wave-type equations are far from being well understood. A goal of this project is to understand how waves are affected by interference with themselves or with their environment. The research seeks to learn when and why some waves disperse, |
