We demonstrate that nonlocal coupling strongly influences the dynamics of fronts connecting two equivalent states. In two prototype models we observe a large amplification in the interaction strength between two opposite fronts increasing front velocities several orders of magnitude. By analyzing the spatial dynamics we prove that way beyond quantitative effects, nonlocal terms can also change the overall qualitative picture by inducing oscillations in the front profile. This leads to a mechanism for the formation of localized structures not present for local interactions. Finally, nonlocal coupling can induce a steep broadening of localized structures, eventually annihilating them.

Spatially extended systems can support local transient excitations in which just a part of the system is excited. The mechanisms reported so far are local excitability and excitation of a localized structure. Here we introduce an alternative mechanis
m based on the coexistence of two homogeneous stable states and spatial coupling. We show the existence of a threshold for perturbations of the homogeneous state. Sub-threshold perturbations decay exponentially. Super-threshold perturbations induce the emergence of a long-lived structure formed by two back to back fronts that join the two homogeneous states. While in typical excitability the trajectory follows the remnants of a limit cycle, here reinjection is provided by front interaction, such that fronts slowly approach each other until eventually annihilating. This front-mediated mechanism shows that extended systems with no oscillatory regimes can display excitability.
Recent studies on fully dielectric multilayered metamaterials have shown that the negligibly small nonlocal effects (spatial dispersion) typically observed in the limit of deeply subwavelength layers may be significantly enhanced by peculiar boundary
effects occurring in certain critical parameter regimes. These phenomena, observed so far in periodic and randomly disordered geometries, are manifested as strong differences between the exact optical response of finite-size metamaterial samples and the prediction from conventional effective-theory-medium models based on mixing formulae. Here, with specific focus on the Thue-Morse geometry, we make a first step toward extending the studies above to the middle-ground of aperiodically ordered multilayers, lying in between perfect periodicity and disorder. We show that, also for these geometries, there exist critical parameter ranges that favor the buildup of boundary effects leading to strong enhancement of the (otherwise negligibly weak) nonlocality. However, the underlying mechanisms are fundamentally different from those observed in the periodic case, and exhibit typical footprints (e.g., fractal gaps, quasi-localized states) that are distinctive of aperiodic order. The outcomes of our study indicate that aperiodic order plays a key role in the buildup of the aforementioned boundary effects, and may also find potential applications to optical sensors, absorbers and lasers.
We study the effect of electron interaction on the spin-splitting and the $g$-factor in graphene in perpendicular magnetic field using the Hartree and Hubbard approximations within the Thomas-Fermi model. We found that the $g$-factor is enhanced in c
omparison to its free electron value $g=2$ and oscillates as a function of the filling factor $ u $ in the range $2leq g^{ast}lesssim 4$ reaching maxima at even $ u $ and minima at odd $ u $. We outline the role of charged impurities in the substrate, which are shown to suppress the oscillations of the $g^{ast}$-factor. This effect becomes especially pronounced with the increase of the impurity concentration, when the effective $g$-factor becomes independent of the filling factor reaching a value of $g^{ast}approx 2.3$. A relation to the recent experiment is discussed.
We revisit the problem of pinning a reaction-diffusion front by a defect, in particular by a reaction-free region. Using collective variables for the front and numerical simulations, we compare the behaviors of a bistable and monostable front. A bist
able front can be pinned as confirmed by a pinning criterion, the analysis of the time independant problem and simulations. Conversely, a monostable front can never be pinned, it gives rise to a secondary pulse past the defect and we calculate the time this pulse takes to appear. These radically different behaviors of bistable and monostable fronts raise issues for modelers in particular areas of biology, as for example, the study of tumor growth in the presence of different tissues.
The problem of front propagation in a stirred medium is addressed in the case of cellular flows in three different regimes: slow reaction, fast reaction and geometrical optics limit. It is well known that a consequence of stirring is the enhancement
of front speed with respect to the non-stirred case. By means of numerical simulations and theoretical arguments we describe the behavior of front speed as a function of the stirring intensity, $U$. For slow reaction, the front propagates with a speed proportional to $U^{1/4}$, conversely for fast reaction the front speed is proportional to $U^{3/4}$. In the geometrical optics limit, the front speed asymptotically behaves as $U/ln U$.
