We study the perturbed sine-Gordon equation $\theta_{tt}-\theta_{xx}+\sin \theta= F(\varepsilon,x)$, where $F$ is of differentiability class $C^n$ in $\varepsilon$ and the first $k$ derivatives vanish at $0$, i.e., $\partial_\varepsilon^l…
Define the 1-handle stabilization distance between two surfaces properly embedded in a fixed 4-dimensional manifold to be the minimal number of 1-handle stabilizations necessary for the surfaces to become ambiently isotopic. For every…
In this paper we compute the Hausdorff distance between sets of continuous curves and sets of piecewise constant or linear discretizations. These sets are Sobolev balls given by the continuous or discrete $L^p$-norm of the derivatives. We…
Exponential small splitting of separatrices in the singular perturbation theory leads generally to nonvanishing oscillations near a saddle--center point and to nonexistence of a true homoclinic orbit. It was conjectured long ago that the…
Using purely variational methods, we prove local and global higher integrability results for upper gradients of quasiminimizers of a $(p,q)$-Dirichlet integral with fixed boundary data, assuming it belongs to a slightly better Newtonian…
In this paper, we consider the problem of computing the nearest stable matrix to an unstable one. We propose new algorithms to solve this problem based on a reformulation using linear dissipative Hamiltonian systems: we show that a matrix…
The autonomous differential equation in the title is derived in S.Srinivasan~\cite{ss05} (equation (E) in ~\cite{ss05}) in the context of certain discrete sums from the number theoretic considerations. These discrete sums are then estimated…
We provide a new approach to stable ergodicity of systems with dominated splittings, based on a geometrical analysis of global stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic points. Our method suggests that the lack of uniform size of Pesin's…
This paper studies the uniformly asymptotic stability of nonautonomous systems on Riemannian manifolds. We establish corresponding Lyapunov-type theorems (Theorems 2.1 and 2.2), extending classical Euclidean results (e.g., [9, Theorems 4.9…
We consider diffeomorphisms $f$ with heteroclinic cycles associated to saddles $P$ and $Q$ of different indices. We say that a cycle of this type can be stabilized if there are diffeomorphisms close to $f$ with a robust cycle associated to…
The Restricted Planar Circular 3-Body Problem models the motion of a body of negligible mass under the gravitational influence of two massive bodies, called the primaries, which perform circular orbits coplanar with that of the massless…
We generalize our earlier results concerning meshfree collocation methods for semilinear elliptic second order problems to the quasilinear case. The stability question, however, is treated differently, namely by extending a paper on…
In this paper we study the existence and regularity of stable manifolds associated to fixed points of parabolic type in the differentiable and analytic cases, using the parametrization method. The parametrization method relies on a suitable…
We present a theorem that allows to simplify linear stability analysis of periodic and quasiperiodic nonlinear regimes in N-particle mechanical systems (both conservative and dissipative) with different kinds of discrete symmetry. This…
We address a numerical methodology for the computation of coarse-grained stable and unstable manifolds of saddle equilibria/stationary states of multiscale/stochastic systems for which a "good" macroscopic description in the form of…
We propose a novel iterative process to establish the minimum separation between two ellipsoids. The method maintains one point on each surface and updates their locations in the theta-phi parametric space. The tension along the connecting…
We consider the number of distinct distances between two finite sets of points in ${\bf R}^k$, for any constant dimension $k\ge 2$, where one set $P_1$ consists of $n$ points on a line $l$, and the other set $P_2$ consists of $m$ arbitrary…
Consider analytic generic unfoldings of the three dimensional conservative Hopf-Zero singularity. Under open conditions on the parameters determining the singularity, the unfolding possesses two saddle-foci when the unfolding parameter is…
We consider the scalar delay differential equation $$ \dot{x}(t)=-x(t)+f_{K}(x(t-1)) $$ with a nondecreasing feedback function $f_{K}$ depending on a parameter $K$, and we verify that a saddle-node bifurcation of periodic orbits takes place…
