Sergey Zelik is on a four-week research visit to China, arriving on 12th August and returning 6th September. His base in China is the University of Lanzhou (see map left) and his host there is Chunyou Sun (who visited Surrey last year), and they are working on the theory of attractors for dissipative PDEs. He […]

The book “Symmetry, Phase Modulation, and Nonlinear Waves” by Tom Bridges has been published by Cambridge University Press. A link to the CUP webpage is here. The book is an introduction to “phase modulation” in conservative systems which generalises the classical Whitham modulation theory to include dispersion and singularities while maintaining universality. The theory shows […]
