The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a $160,000 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado (doing business as the University of Colorado) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports fundamental research into nonlinear wave propagation, focused on enhancing scientific understanding of large amplitude waves and associated wave energy transfer dynamics. This work has potential applications for areas such as tsunamis, high-power laser technology, and blast waves. Key deliverables include investigating extensions of the inverse scattering transform method to new classes of nonlinear wave equations, as well as studying the properties of multidimensional solitons. The 3-year project aims to expand scientific knowledge in these areas to benefit a range of applications involving nonlinear wave motion.
