Nominator's project description

Professor Pelinovsky is one of the world leading experts in analysis of nonlinear wave propagation, which is a classical area of applied mathematics. He has made outstanding contributions to the theory of stability of periodic and solitary waves and dynamics of integrable systems. He combines physical intuition, numerical explorations and a large variety of rigorous mathematical methods. During his stay in Germany, he intends to study the instability of peaked periodic waves in a large class of nonlinear partial differential equations as well as to complete the characterization of the Morse index for trapped states on unbounded metric graphs.
