The multiphase Whitham modulation equations with $N$ phases have $2N$ characteristics which may be of hyperbolic or elliptic type. In this paper a nonlinear theory is developed for coalescence, where two characteristics change from hyperbolic to elliptic via collision. Firstly, a linear theory develops the structure of colliding characteristics involving the topological sign of characteristics and multiple Jordan chains, and secondly a nonlinear modulation theory is developed for transitions. The nonlinear theory shows that coalescing characteristics morph the Whitham equations into an asymptotically valid geometric form of the two-way Boussinesq equation. That is, coalescing characteristics generate dispersion, nonlinearity and complex wave fields. For illustration, the theory is applied to coalescing characteristics associated with the modulation of two-phase travelling-wave solutions of coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations, highlighting how collisions can be identified and the relevant dispersive dynamics constructed.
The Whitham equation was proposed as a model for surface water waves that combines the quadratic flux nonlinearity $f(u) = tfrac{1}{2}u^2$ of the Korteweg-de Vries equation and the full linear dispersion relation $Omega(k) = sqrt{ktanh k}$ of uni-dir
A strong inspiration for studying perturbation theory for fractional evolution equations comes from the fact that they have proven to be useful tools in modeling many physical processes. In this paper, we study fractional evolution equations of order
It is proved that modulation in time and space of periodic wave trains, of the defocussing nonlinear Schrodinger equation, can be approximated by solutions of the Whitham modulation equations, in the hyperbolic case, on a natural time scale. The erro
Ion transport in biological tissues is crucial in the study of many biological and pathological problems. Some multi-cellular structures, like smooth muscles on the vessel walls, could be treated as periodic bi-domain structures, which consist of int
In this paper, we study the solutions to the energy-critical quadratic nonlinear Schrodinger system in ${dot H}^1times{dot H}^1$, where the sign of its potential energy can not be determined directly. If the initial data ${rm u}_0$ is radial or non-r
