Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Rioting Activity: A Reaction-Diffusion Approach

Berestycki, Nadal, and Rodríguez introduced and analyzed some systems of partial differential equations that serve as basic models for the spread of rioting activity. 

Spiral Waves in Oscillatory Media with Nonlocal Coupling

Gabriela Jaramillo from the University of Houston demonstrates, for a general oscillatory model with nonlocal coupling, the existence of spiral waves by first deriving an amplitude equation, then using the methods of multiple scales to identify terms in the spiral wave solutions to multiple...

Teaching Dynamical Systems: A New Forum

In Snowbird the first Prizes for Teaching Dynamical Systems were awarded by a panel of distinguished judges. Anne Catlla and Eric Shea-Brown report on the successful launch of a new forum.

The 2023 SIAM Fellows Include Dynamical Systems Experts

Two members of the SIAM Dynamical Systems Activity Group are inducted as 2023 SIAM Fellows.

The Moser, Crawford and Red Sock winners of 2013.

An overview of the Moser, Crawford and Red Sock winners of 2013.

The Quadfurcation

Quadfurcation is a bifurcation when four fixed points are created from none at a single location in phase space upon variation of one parameter. This bifurcation is not at all well studied in dynamical systems literature. In this paper Bäcker and Meiss put forth that the quadfurcation is an...

Understanding Sensory Induced Hallucinations

Rachel Nicks explains how visual hallucinations can emerge as spatiotemporal dynamics of neuronal networks described by amplitude equations.

V.I. Arnold: On Teaching Mathematics

"On teaching mathematics" by V.I. Arnold is an extension of a talk given in Paris in 1997 -- an inspiring, amusing, provoking and fascinating little gem that some may not know, yet. Due to the courtesy of Russian Mathematical Surveys we can reprint it here with some added links and a brief...

Vortices in Bose-Einstein Condensates: (Super)fluids with a twist

P.G. Kevrekidis, R. Carretero-González and D.J. Frantzeskakis showcase some recent experimental and theoretical work in the coldest temperatures in the universe involving vortices in the newest state of matter: the atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. The remarkable feature that these...
