Vector cnoidal waves in spatiotemporal propagation: exact solutions beyond slowly-varying envelopes (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Christian, J., & McAteer, É. (2023, April). Vector cnoidal waves in spatiotemporal propagation: exact solutions beyond slowly-varying envelopes. Presented at 64th British Applied Mathematics Colloquium (BAMC 2023), University of the West of England and University of Bristol, UK

Cnoidal waves are periodic solutions to certain classes of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). They are fundamental excitations in theories of waves and their more familiar localized counterparts––solitons––typically emerge as limits....
