In this overview paper, we show existence of smooth solitary-wave solutions to the nonlinear, dispersive evolution equations of the form \begin{equation*} \partial_t u + \partial_x(\Lambda^s u + u\Lambda^r u^2) = 0, \end{equation*} where…
We propose a new approach to the study of (nonlinear) growth and instability for semilinear evolution equations with compact nonlinearities. We show, in particular, that compact nonlinear perturbations of a linear evolution equation can be…

An abstract framework for studying the asymptotic behavior of a dissipative evolutionary system $\mathcal{E}$ with respect to weak and strong topologies was introduced in [8] primarily to study the long-time behavior of the 3D Navier-Stokes…

The time-evolution operator for the kicked Harper model is reduced to block matrix form when the effective Planck's constant hbar = 2 pi M/N and M and N are integers. Each block matrix is spanned by an orthonormal set of N "kq"…
Planetary, stellar and galactic physics often rely on the general restricted gravitational N-body problem to model the motion of a small-mass object under the influence of much more massive objects. Here, I formulate the general restricted…
We study the evolution equations for gravitational waves, which are derived using the full metric to raise and lower indices. This method ensures full consistency between the Ricci tensor and all gauge restrictions and requirements, and…
