Modulation instability: The beginning

VE Zakharov, LA Ostrovsky - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2009 - Elsevier
We discuss the early history of an important field of “sturm and drang” in modern theory of
nonlinear waves. It is demonstrated how scientific demand resulted in independent and …

Dynamic nonlinear elasticity in geomaterials

LA Ostrovsky, PA Johnson - La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento, 2001 - Springer
The nonlinear elastic behaviour of earth materials is an extremely rich topic, one that has
broad implications to earth and materials sciences, including strong ground motion, rock …

Interactions of solitons in nonintegrable systems: direct perturbation method and applications

KA Gorshkov, LA Ostrovsky - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 1981 - Elsevier
Problems of approximate description of soliton interaction in nonintegrable systems are
discussed. It is shown that in an arbitrary Lagrangian system in the first nontrivial order of the …

Observations of highly nonlinear internal solitons over the continental shelf

TP Stanton, LA Ostrovsky - Geophysical Research Letters, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
Surface disturbances caused by strong, near‐surface internal waves are widely seen in
coastal regions as bands of slick and rough water propagating shoreward. These surface …

RHJ Grimshaw, LA Ostrovsky, VI Shrira… - Surveys in …, 1998 - Springer
Nonlinear dynamics of surface and internal waves in a stratified ocean under the influence
of the Earth's rotation is discussed. Attention is focussed upon guided waves long compared …

Nonlinear acoustics of micro-inhomogeneous media

VE Nazarov, LA Ostrovsky, IA Soustova… - Physics of the Earth and …, 1988 - Elsevier
Acoustic waves can interact in micro-inhomogeneous media much more intensively than in
homogeneous media. This has been repeatedly observed in experiments with ground …
