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 […]
