Abstract: The development of PDE models capable of describing tumor growth may help to monitor disease progression or predict the efficacy of different therapeutic strategies. However, to be truly informative or predictive, these models need to be corrected and/or parameterized

Abstract : Self-similar solutions for the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation are of both physical and mathematical interest. On the physical side, among several applications, they model the formation of sharp corners in planar vortex patches. Mathematically, they describe the asymptotic
