Interview with Sebius Doedel on the occasion of his 65th birthday

Exactly four years ago, DSWeb Magazine published an interview with Sebius Doedel, author of over seventy research papers and creator of the widely used software package AUTO. Last week, we caught up with him and raised the glass to an occasion Sebius was planning to let pass quietly...

Intrinsic Criteria for the Stability of Traveling Waves

Paul Cornwell from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab (paul.cornwell (at) jhuapl.edu) describes how intrinsic features of travelling waves can be used, along with the Maslov index and the Evans function, to determine features of the associated linear stability problem.

IUTAM Symposium on 50 Years of Chaos in Kyoto

On November 27, 1961, Yoshisuke Ueda, then a graduate student in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Kyoto University, accidentally observed a "randomly transitional phenomenon", now commonly known as "chaos". Fifty years later and approximately 150 meters from the site of Ueda's...
