Traveling Waves and Shock Waves

A special session in 

Fourth International Conference on Dynamical Systems and Differential Equations

Wilmington, NC, USA, May 24-27, 2002

Organizers:

Introduction:

Traveling waves and shock waves arise as important solutions of various dissipative and conservative systems of partial differential equations.  These equations include models in many applied areas, such as fluid flow, multi-phase flow, MHD, coupled neuronal networks, other chemical and biological systems, optical fibers and material science. Great progress has been made in the study of traveling and shock waves  during the past ten years. The talks will illustrate geometrical, analytical, asymptotic and numerical methods. Topic include existence,           stability and bifurcation of the waves.
