The paper “Degenerate hyperbolic conservation laws with dissipation: reduction to and validity of a class of Burgers-type equations“, co-authored by Tom Bridges, Jon Pennant, and Sergey Zelik, has been accepted for publication in the the journal Archives for Rational Mechanics and Analysis. A hyperbolic conservation law is said to be degenerate or critical if the […]

Claudia Wulff is visiting the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College today (Thursday 29 May) to give a talk in the Dynamical Systems Seminar. The talk is on “Relative Lyapunov centre bifurcation“. An abstract follows: relative equilibria and relative periodic orbits (RPOs) are ubiquitous in symmetric Hamiltonian systems. Relative Lyapunov centre bifurcations are bifurcations of […]

The paper “Relative Lyapunov center bifurcations“, co-authored by Claudia Wulff and Frank Schilder (Danish Technical University) has appeared online in the SIAM Journal of Applied Dynamical Systems. Relative equilibria (REs) and relative periodic orbits (RPOs) are ubiquitous in symmetric Hamiltonian systems and occur, for example, in celestial mechanics, molecular dynamics, and rigid body motion. REs […]
