Pulse Dynamics in Dissipative Systems

1:30 PM-3:30 PM
Koali (Salon 5)

Pulse solutions are one of the typical examples of localized patterns. The speakers will discuss the properties of pulses such as the existence of pulse solutions, the mechanism of the generation of pulses, and the dynamics of pulses for various model equations with methods of variational principle, perturbation method and the center manifold theory and so on. The study of pulse dynamics provides important information in order to understand the time evolutional process of patterns.
