Gianne Derks is giving a talk in the Analysis and Differential Equations Seminar today (Thursday 2 March) at the University of Bath. The title of her talk is “Existence and stability of fronts in inhomogeneous wave equations“. In the talk, wave equations with finite length inhomogeneities are considered. The underlying Hamiltonian structure allows for a […]
