Rarefaction waves in nonlocal convection-diffusion equations

We consider the "convection-diffussion" equation $u_t=J*u-u-uu_x,$ where $J$ is a probability density. We supplement this equation with step-like initial conditions and prove a convergence of corresponding solution towards a rarefaction wave, i.e. a unique entropy solution of the Riemann problem for the nonviscous Burgers equation. Methods and tools used in this paper are inspired by those used in [Karch, Miao and Xu, SIAM J. Math. Anal. {\bf 39} (2008), no. 5, 1536--1549.], where the fractal Burgers equation was studied.

Constructing Soliton and Kink Solutions of PDE Models in Transport and Biology

We present a review of our recent works directed towards discovery of a periodic, kink-like and soliton-like travelling wave solutions within the models of transport phenomena and the mathematical biology. Analytical description of these wave patterns is carried out by means of our modification of the direct algebraic balance method. In the case when the analytical description fails, we propose to approximate invariant travelling wave solutions by means of an infinite series of exponential functions. The effectiveness of the method of approximation is demonstrated on a hyperbolic modification of Burgers equation.
