Waves are essential phenomena in most scientific and engineering disciplines, such as electromagnetism and optics, and different mechanics including fluid, solid, structural, quantum, etc. Some can be observed directly and others are not. They appear in linear and nonlinear systems.
These systems cover the general properties of non-dispersive and dispersive, uniform and non-uniform, with/without dissipations. The features of the waves are usually described by solutions to either linear or nonlinear partial differential equations, which are fundamental to the students and researchers.Generic equations, describing wave and pulse propagation in linear and nonlinear systems, are introduced and analyzed as initial/boundary value problems. Methods of analyses are introduced and illustrated with analytical solutions.
Wave-wave and wave-particle interactions ascribed to the nonlinearity of
