A mathematical model describing the initial stage of the capture of oscillatory systems into autoresonance under the action of slowly varying pumping is considered. Solutions with an infinitely growing amplitude are associated with the…
We study the focusing inhomogeneous nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation $$ i\partial_t u + \Delta u = -|x|^b |u|^{p-1}u ,\quad (t,x)\in (0,\infty)\times\mathbb{R}^N, $$ with $b>0$ and $p>1$. Due to the spatial growth of the nonlinearity,…
We consider a nonlinear damped hyperbolic equation in $\real^n$, $1 \le n \le 4$, depending on a positive parameter $\epsilon$. If we set $\epsilon=0$, this equation reduces to the well-known Kolmogorov-Petrovski-Piskunov equation. We…
We investigate the dynamics of roll solutions at the zigzag boundary of the planar Swift-Hohenberg equation. Linear analysis shows an algebraic decay of small perturbation with a $t^{- 1/4}$ rate, instead of the classical $t^{- 1/2}$…

We investigate the properties of standing waves to a nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with inverse-square potential on the half-line. We first establish the existence of standing waves. Then, by a variational characterization of the ground…
We study existence and stability of travelling waves for nonlinear convection diffusion equations in the 1-D Euclidean space. The diffusion coefficient depends on the gradient in analogy with the p-Laplacian and may be degenerate.…
We modify the nonlinear shallow water equations, the Korteweg-de Vries equation, and the Whitham equation, to permit constant vorticity, and examine wave breaking, or the lack thereof. By wave breaking, we mean that the solution remains…
This work is devoted to study the global behavior of viscous flows contained in a symmetric domain with complete slip boundary. In such scenario the boundary no longer provides friction and therefore the perturbation of angular velocity…
In this paper we study the stability of two different problems. The first one is a one-dimensional degenerate wave equation with degenerate damping, incorporating a drift term and a leading operator in non-divergence form. In the second…
In this paper we address the stability of resonantly forced density waves in dense planetary rings. Already by Goldreich & Tremaine (1978) it has been argued that density waves might be unstable, depending on the relationship between the…
All complex fluid motions, such as transition and turbulence, obeying the Navier-Stokes equations are non-linear phenomena. Some aspects of the non-linear terms of these equations are not well understood and are, in fact, misunderstood. The…
Extending investigations of Yarahmadian and Zumbrun in the strictly parabolic case, we study time-asymptotic stability of arbitrary (possibly large) amplitude noncharacteristic boundary layers of a class of hyperbolic-parabolic systems…
This paper proves the nonlinear asymptotic stability of the Lane-Emden solutions for spherically symmetric motions of viscous gaseous stars if the adiabatic constant $\gamma$ lies in the stability range $(4/3, 2)$. It is shown that for…
The linear dynamics and instability mechanisms of double-layered weakly viscoelastic fluid flowing over an inclined plane are analyzed in the presence of insoluble surfactant at both the free surface and interface. The constitutive equation…

We show the short-time existence and nonlinear stability of vortex sheets for the nonisentropic compressible Euler equations in two spatial dimensions, based on the weakly linear stability result of Morando--Trebeschi (2008) [20]. The…
We introduce a new notion of viscosity solutions for a class of very singular nonlinear parabolic problems of non-divergence form in a periodic domain of arbitrary dimension, whose diffusion on flat parts with zero slope is so strong that…
Nonlinear partial differential equations are central to physics, engineering, and finance. Except in a limited number of integrable cases, their solution generally requires numerical methods whose cost becomes prohibitive in…
We are concerned with the stability of steady multi-wave configurations for the full Euler equations of compressible fluid flow. In this paper, we focus on the stability of steady four-wave configurations that are the solutions of the…
