Exponential asymptotics of woodpile chain nanoptera using numerical analytic continuation

G Deng, CJ Lustri - Studies in Applied Mathematics, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Traveling waves in woodpile chains are typically nanoptera, which are composed of a
central solitary wave and exponentially small oscillations. These oscillations have been …

Exponential Asymptotics using Numerical Rational Approximation in Linear Differential Equations

CJ Lustri, S Crew, SJ Chapman - The ANZIAM Journal, 2023 - cambridge.org

Nanoptera in nonlinear woodpile chains with zero precompression

G Deng, CJ Lustri - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2022 - Elsevier
We use exponential asymptotics to study travelling waves in woodpile systems modelled as
singularly perturbed granular chains with zero precompression and small mass ratio. These …

On a countable sequence of homoclinic orbits arising near a saddle-center point

I Baldomá, M Guardia, DE Pelinovsky - arxiv preprint arxiv:2412.01563, 2024 - arxiv.org
Exponential small splitting of separatrices in the singular perturbation theory leads generally
to nonvanishing oscillations near a saddle--center point and to nonexistence of a true …

Nanoptera in higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equations: effects of discretization

AJ Moston-Duggan, MA Porter, CJ Lustri - Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2023 - Springer
We consider generalizations of nonlinear Schrödinger equations, which we call “Karpman
equations,” that include additional linear higher-order derivatives. Singularly-perturbed …
