The problem of diffusion in a medium with non-uniform temperature was first considered by Landauer, and subsequently discussed by a number of authors. The conclusion is that there is no universal diffusion equation; rather its precise form depends on the details of the underlying mechanism. Some exa

The standard linear model for electroseismic waves is investigated in the presence of anisotropic, inhomogeneous, time-shift invariant media. In the framework of a comprehensive theory for a new class of evolutionary problems wellposedness of associated initial boundary value problems is shown.
Many wave propagation phenomena in classical physics are governed by equations that can be recast in SchrΓΆdinger form. In this approach the classical wave equation (e.g., Maxwell's equations, acoustic equation, elastic equation) is rewritten in SchrΓΆdinger form, leading to the study of the spectral
