It is well know that for globally contractive autonomous systems, there exists a unique equilibrium and the distance to the equilibrium evaluated along any trajectory decreases exponentially with time. We show that, additionally, the…
For linear periodic finite-dimensional systems, it is well-known that, first, exponential stability is equivalent to the existence of a unique periodic positive definite solution to the Lyapunov equation, and second, the Lyapunov equation…
This paper study the hyperexponential stabilization for infinite-dimensional system on Hilbert space by a distributed time depending control law. The well-posedness of the closed loop for every time is obtained through the use of maximal…
We prove that for every proper Hamiltonian action of a Lie group G in finite dimensions the momentum map is locally G-open relative to its image (i.e. images of G-invariant open sets are open). As an application we deduce that in a…
We consider a $2\times 2$ system of hyperbolic balance laws, in one-space dimension, that describes the evolution of a granular material with slow erosion and deposition. The dynamics is expressed in terms of the thickness of a moving layer…
We investigate an example of noise-induced stabilization in the plane that was also considered in (Gawedzki, Herzog, Wehr 2010) and (Birrell, Herzog, Wehr 2011). We show that despite the deterministic system not being globally stable, the…
The properties of stability of compact set $\mathcal{K}$ which is positively invariant for a semiflow $(\Omega\times W^{1,\infty}([-r,0],\mathbb{R}^n),\Pi,\mathbb{R}^+)$ determined by a family of nonautonomous FDEs with state-dependent…
Suppose that the origin is globally asymptotically stable under a set of continuous vector fields on Euclidean space and suppose that all those vector fields come equipped with -- possibly different -- convex Lyapunov functions. We show…
We introduce a weak notion of $2\times 2$-minors of gradients of a suitable subclass of $BV$ functions. In the case of maps in $BV(\mathbb{R}^2;\mathbb{R}^2)$ such a notion extends the standard definition of Jacobian determinant to…
For the Newtonian \(N\)-body problem at nonnegative energy, we study solution sets selected by the Jacobi--Maupertuis variational principle and by the associated stationary Hamilton--Jacobi equation. We prove a compactness/stability theorem…
The Jacobian conjecture in dimension $n$ asserts that any polynomial endomorphism of $n$-dimensional affine space over a field of zero characteristic, with the Jacobian equal 1, is invertible. The Dixmier conjecture in rank $n$ asserts that…
We study random dynamical systems generated by volume-preserving piecewise $C^{1}$ maps. For this class of systems, we establish an invariance principle stating that if all Lyapunov exponents vanish, then there exists a measurable family of…
The strong unique continuation property for Einstein metrics can be concluded from the well-known fact that Einstein metrics are analytic in geodesic normal coordinates. Here we give a proof of the same result that given two Einstein…
Under weaker regularity and compactness assumptions, we find the mountain-pass essential point, which is a novel extension of the classical Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz mountain pass theorem. We study the reversible superquadratic autonomous…
Given a closed Riemannian manifold $(N^{n+1},g)$, $n+1 \geq 3$ we prove the compactness of the space of singular, minimal hypersurfaces in $N$ whose volumes are uniformly bounded from above and the $p$-th Jacobi eigenvalue $\lambda_p$'s are…
We show that small perturbations of the spatially homogeneous equilibrium of a thermally driven compressible viscous fluid are globally stable. Specifically, any weak solution of the evolutionary Navier--Stokes--Fourier system driven by…
In the absence of the axiom of choice, the set-theoretic status of many natural statements about metrizable compact spaces is investigated. Some of the statements are provable in $\mathbf{ZF}$, some are shown to be independent of…
We study the constraint equations for the Einstein-scalar field system on compact manifolds. Using the conformal method we reformulate these equations as a determined system of nonlinear partial differential equations. By introducing a new…
We study the stable behaviour of discrete dynamical systems where the map is convex and monotone with respect to the standard positive cone. The notion of tangential stability for fixed points and periodic points is introduced, which is…
In this paper, we sketch the proof of the extension of the stability theorem of the Minkowski space in General Relativity done explicitly in previous work by the present author. We discuss solutions of the Einstein vacuum (EV) equations. We…
