The concept of superoscillations is extended beyond bandlimited functions, to include monochromatic waves in space-varying media, such as wavefunctions representing quantum particles in non-constant potentials. ‘Semiclassical superoscillations’ a

This develops a recent analysis of gentle undular tidal bores (2018 New J. Phys. 20 053066) and corrects an error. The simplest linear-wave superposition, of monochromatic waves propagating according to the shallow-water dispersion relation, leads to

Waves travelling up-river, driven by high tides, often consist of a smooth front followed by a series of undulations. A simple approximate theory gives the rigidly travelling profile of such ‘undular hydraulic jumps’, up to scaling, as the integr

This is a theoretical study of Newtonian trajectories governed by curl forces, i.e. position-dependent but not derivable from a potential, investigating in particular the possible existence of conserved quantities. Although nonconservative and nonham

The anatomy of the distorted and topologically disrupted images of an extended object after reflection by curved mirrors, and of their refraction analogues, e.g. in gravitational lensing, is determined by the caustic surfaces enveloping the ray famil

Mirrors that are convex in some places and concave in others can generate images of extended objects (such as the viewer’s face) that are curiously distorted and often topologically disrupted. Understanding these images involves the caustics of the

If a nonlinear function F(S) depends on a function S(x) that is represented by a factorially divergent asymptotic power series in a small parameter x, each late coefficient of the power series for F(S(x)) can be represented explicitly as an asymptoti

A witch ball is a reflecting sphere of glass. Looking into the disk that it subtends, the whole sky can be seen at one glance. This feature can be exploited to see and photograph the squint Moon illusion, in which the direction normal to the illumina

The eigenangles of random matrices in the three standard circular ensembles are rendered as sounds in several different ways. The different fluctuation properties of these ensembles can be heard, and distinguished from the two extreme cases, of angle
