The Maslov index, degenerate crossings and the stability of pulse solutions to the Swift-Hohenberg equation
In the scalar Swift-Hohenberg equation with quadratic-cubic nonlinearity, it is known that symmetric pulse solutions exist for certain parameter regions. In this paper we develop a method to determine the spectral stability of these solutions. We first associate a Maslov index to each solution and then argue that this index coincides with the number of unstable eigenvalues for the linearized evolution equation. This requires extending the method of computing the Maslov index introduced by Robbi…

Emergence of rogue-like waves in a reaction-diffusion system: Stochastic output from deterministic dissipative dynamics
Rogue waves are an intriguing nonlinear phenomenon arising across different scales, ranging from ocean waves through optics to Bose-Einstein condensates. We describe the emergence of rogue-like wave dynamics in a reaction-diffusion system that arise as a result of a subcritical Turing instability. This state is present in a regime where all time-independent states are unstable, and consists of intermittent excitation of spatially localized spikes, followed by collapse to an unstable state and s…

Decentralized Uncoded Storage Elastic Computing with Heterogeneous Computation Speeds
Elasticity plays an important role in modern cloud computing systems. Elastic computing allows virtual machines (i.e., computing nodes) to be preempted when high-priority jobs arise, and also allows new virtual machines to participate in the computation. In 2018, Yang et al. introduced Coded Storage Elastic Computing (CSEC) to address the elasticity using coding technology, with lower storage and computation load requirements. However, CSEC is limited to certain types of computations (e.g., lin…
