The matching of the asymptotic solutions is studied numerically. %B Physica D 241, nr. 23-24 (2012): 2246-2264 %I Elsevier %G en %1 7069 %2 Physics %4 -1 %$ Submitted by Maria Pia Calandra (calapia@sissa.it) on 2013-09-16T14:49:23Z No. of bitstreams: 1 1202.0962v2.pdf: 2652650 bytes, checksum: d8678338138745b35d8515af39f85d18 (MD5) %R 10.1016/j.physd.2012.04.001
