New Distributional Global Solutions for the Hunter-Saxton Equation
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2014 In the setting of a distributional product, we consider a Riemann problem for the Hunter-Saxton equation [ut+((1/2)u2)x]x=(1/2)ux2 in a convenient space of discontinuous functions. With the help of a consistent extension of the classical solution concept,

On–Off Switchable Micromotors for Use in Steerable Microvehicles
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Electrically controllable micromotors and microvehicles are developed by tuning the diffusion of the fuel. Self‐propelled micromotors using bubble propulsion show great promise for miniaturized devices with multiuse purposes such as cargo delivery and sensing. However, there is currently no method to electrically switch the micromotors on or off. Here,

A nonlinear two-species oscillatory system: bifurcation and stability analysis
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2003 The present paper dealing with the nonlinear bifurcation analysis of two-species oscillatory system consists of three parts. The first part deals with Hopf-bifurcation and limit cycle analysis of the homogeneous system.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

A Generalization of the Hopf-Cole Transformation
Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2013 A generalization of the Hopf-Cole transformation and its relation to the Burgers equation of integer order and the diffusion equation with quadratic nonlinearity are discussed. The explicit form of a particular analytical solution is presented.

Travelling Waves of a Diffusive Epidemic Model with Latency and Relapse
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2013 An SEIR epidemic model with relapse and spatial diffusion is studied. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of each of the feasible steady states to this model is discussed.

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

Nonsharp travelling wave fronts in the Fisher equation with degenerate nonlinear diffusion
, 1996 When degenerate nonlinear diffusion is introduced into the Fisher equation, giving ut = (uux)x + u(1 − u), the travelling wave structure changes so that there is a sharp-front wave for one particular wave speed, with smooth-front waves for all faster ...
