We discuss the (in)stability of solitary waves for a quasi-linear Schr{\"o}dinger equation. The equation contains a quasi-linear term, responsible for a saturation effect, as well as a power nonlinearity. For different exponents of the…

We consider the semilinear damped wave equation $\partial_{tt}^2 u(x,t)+\gamma(x)\partial_t u(x,t)=\Delta u(x,t)-\alpha u(x,t)-f(x,u(x,t))$. In this article, we obtain the first results concerning the stabilization of this semilinear…
This paper deals with the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the delayed monostable equation: $(*)$ $u_{t}(t,x) = u_{xx}(t,x) - u(t,x) + g(u(t-h,x)),$ $x \in \mathbb{R},\ t >0,$ where $h>0$ and the reaction term $g: \mathbb{R}_+ \to…

The amplitude equation for an unstable electrostatic wave is analyzed using an expansion in the mode amplitude $A(t)$. In the limit of weak instability, i.e. $\gamma\to 0^+$ where $\gamma$ is the linear growth rate, the nonlinear…
