There is a qualitative difference between one-dimensional and multi-dimensional solutions to the Euler equations: new features that arise are vorticity and a nontrivial incompressible (low Mach number) limit. They present challenges to…
We consider the stability of a laminar flow $U\in C^4([-1,1])$ in the two-dimensional channel $\mathbb{R} \times[-1,1]$ in the large Reynolds number limit. Assuming that $U$ is strictly monotone but allowing $U^{\prime\prime}$ to vanish, we…
We study the solutions of a generalized Allen-Cahn equation deduced from a Landau energy functional, endowed with a non-constant higher order stiffness. We analytically solve the stationary problem and deduce the existence of so-called…
We present for the first time solutions in the gauged $U(1)\times U(1)$ model of Witten describing vortons -- spinning flux loops stabilized against contraction by the centrifugal force. Vortons were heuristically described many years ago,…
We address one-dimensional soliton formation in the cubic nonlinear medium with two-photon absorption and transversally inhomogeneous gain landscape consisting of a single or several amplifying channels. Existence of the solitons requires…
A nontopological soliton solution of dilaton-Maxwell theory describes a domain wall-like solution which confines magnetic flux in its core [G.W. Gibbons and C.G. Wells, Class. Quant. Grav. 11, 2499 (1994)]. Since the solution is not…
The Davey-Stewartson (DS) equations with a perturbation term are presented by taking a fluid system as an example on an uneven bottom. Stability of dromions, solutions of the DS equations with localized structures, against the perturbation…
We consider time-independent solutions of hyperbolic equations such as $\d_{tt}u -\Delta u= f(x,u)$ where $f$ is convex in $u$. We prove that linear instability with a positive eigenfunction implies nonlinear instability. In some cases the…
We consider the Schr\"odinger evolution on graph, i.e. solution to the equation $\partial_tu(t,\alpha)=i\sum_{\beta\in\mathcal{A}}L(\alpha,\beta)u(t,\beta)$, here $\mathcal{A}$ is the set of vertices of the graph and the matrix…
The stability of two-dimensional bright vortex solitons in a media with focusing cubic and defocusing quintic nonlinearities is investigated analytically and numerically. It is proved that above some critical beam powers not only one- and…
We discuss a link between graph theory and geometry that arises when considering graph dynamical systems with odd interactions. The equilibrium set in such systems is not a collection of isolated points, but rather a union of manifolds,…
This work deals with a scalar nonlinear neutral delay differential equation issued from the study of wave propagation. A critical value of the coefficients is considered, where only few results are known. The difficulty follows from the…
Extending the thoroughly studied theory of group stability, we study Ulam stability type problems for associative and Lie algebras; namely, we investigate obstacles to rank-approximation of almost solutions by exact solutions for systems of…
We propose to analyse the discretization of the Stokes problem with nonconforming finite elements in light of the T-coercivity (cf. [1] for Helmholtz-like problems, see [2], [3] and [4] for the neutron diffusion equation). We propose…
We consider a second-order equation of Duffing type. Bounds for the derivative of the restoring force are given which ensure the existence and uniqueness of a periodic solution. Furthermore, the unique periodic solution is asymptotically…
A complete global analysis of spatially-flat, four-dimensional cosmologies derived from the type IIA string and M-theory effective actions is presented. A non--trivial Ramond-Ramond sector is included. The governing equations are written as…
The two-dimensional free-boundary problem describing steady gravity waves with vorticity on water of finite depth is considered. Under the assumption that the vorticity is a negative constant whose absolute value is sufficiently large, we…
Given a hypersurface $M$ of null scalar curvature in the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$, $n\ge 4$, such that its second fundamental form has rank greater than 2, we construct a singular scalar-flat hypersurface in $\Rr^{n+1}$ as a normal graph…
We investigate the existence of stationary fronts in a coupled system of two sine-Gordon equations with a smooth, "hat-like" spatial inhomogeneity. The spatial inhomogeneity corresponds to a spatially dependent scaling of the sine-Gordon…
In the theory of the moduli-stacks of n-pointed stable curves, there are two fundamental functors, contraction and stabilization. These functors are constructed in [4], where they are used to show that the various \bar{M_{g,n}}'s are…
