We classify all spherically symmetric dust solutions of Einstein's equations which are self-similar in the sense that all dimensionless variables depend only upon $z\equiv r/t$. We show that the equations can be reduced to a special case of…
The planar visible fold is a simple singularity in piecewise smooth systems. In this paper, we consider singularly perturbed systems that limit to this piecewise smooth bifurcation as the singular perturbation parameter $\epsilon\rightarrow…
A general system of particles (of one or several species) on a one dimensional lattice with boundaries is considered. Two general behaviors of such systems are investigated. The stationary behavior of the system, and the dominant way of the…
We provide a scenario for a singularity-mediated turbulence based on the self-focusing non-linear Schr\"odinger equation, for which sufficiently smooth initial states leads to blow-up in finite time. Here, by adding dissipation, these…
Fast-slow systems with three slow variables and gradient structure in the fast variables have, generically, hyperbolic umbilic, elliptic umbilic or swallowtail singularities. In this article we provide a detailed local analysis of a…
Cosmological models with time dependent $\Lambda$ (read as $\Lambda (t)$) have been investigated widely in the literature. Models that solve background dynamics analytically, are of special interest. Additionally, the allowance of past or…
The level set flow of a mean-convex closed hypersurface is stable off singularities, in the sense that the level set flow of the perturbed hypersurface would be close in the smooth topology to the original flow wherever the latter is…
To study discrete dynamical systems of different types --- deterministic, statistical and quantum --- we develop various approaches. We introduce the concept of a system of discrete relations on an abstract simplicial complex and develop…
We consider a planar dynamical system generated by two stable linear vector fields with distinct fixed points and random switching between them. We characterize singularities of the invariant density in terms of the switching rates and…
We construct examples of finite time singularity from smooth data for linear uniformly parabolic systems in the plane. We obtain similar examples for quasilinear systems with coefficients that depend only on the solution.
For diffeomorphisms or for non-singular flows, there are many results relating properties persistent under C1 perturbations and global structures for the dynamics ( such as hyperbolicity, partial hyperbolicity, dominated splitting).…
We study fixed points of cellular automata with $N$ sites on random sparse graphs. In the large $N$ limit such models are known to exhibit phase transitions, from a ``frozen'' phase, where at most a finite number of sites fluctuate at long…
The dynamics of singularity formation on the interface between two ideal fluids is studied for the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability development within the Hamiltonian formalism. It is shown that the equations of motion derived in the small…
For the water waves equations, the existence of splat singularities has been shown in [3], i.e., the interface self-intersects along an arc in finite time. The aim of this paper is to show the absence of splat singularities for the…
Numerical simulations demonstrate a link between dynamically cold initial solutions and self-similarity. However the nature of this link is not fully understood. Cold initial conditions alone without further symmetry do not lead to…
These lectures present results and problems on the characterization of structurally stable dynamics. We will shed light those which do not seem to depend on the regularity class (holomorphic or differentiable). Furthermore, we will present…
The paper studies a curvature flow linked to the physical phenomenon of wound closure. Under the flow we show that a closed, initially convex or close-to-convex curve shrinks to a round point in finite time. We also study the singularity,…
Recent investigations have provided important insights into the complex structure and dynamics of collectively moving flocks of living organisms. Two intriguing observations are, scale-free correlations in the velocity fluctuations, in the…
We construct the first example of finite time blow-up solutions for the heat flow of the $H$-system, describing the evolution of surfaces with constant mean curvature \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{aligned} &u_t = \Delta u -…
This paper concerns with some of the results related to the singular solutions of certain types of non-linear integrable differential equations (NIDE) and behavior of the singularities of those equations. The approach heavily relies on the…
