"The field of nonlinear dispersive waves has developed enormously since the work of Stokes, Boussinesq and Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) in the nineteenth century. In the 1960s, researchers developed effective asymptotic methods for deriving nonlinear wave equations, such as the KdV e…
An account from 1975-1988 of the developments in the application of the modern asymptotic theory of linear differential systems, which dates from the Levinson Theorem of 1948. The main results and techniques are identified and earlier results are placed in a wider context.
We are interested in the time-asymptotic behavior of solutions to viscous conservation laws. Through the pointwise estimates for the Green's function of the linearized system and the analysis of coupling of nonlinear diffusion waves, we obtain explicit expressions of the time-as…
