We investigate the impact of internal spin on chaos in billiard systems. Extending the standard point-particle billiard by coupling translational and rotational degrees of freedom through a dimensionless spin parameter $\alpha = I/(mr^2)…
Uneven terrain necessarily transforms periodic walking into a non-periodic motion. As such, traditional stability analysis tools no longer adequately capture the ability of a bipedal robot to locomote in the presence of such disturbances.…
Periodic travelling waves are considered in the class of reduced Ostrovsky equations that describe low-frequency internal waves in the presence of rotation. The reduced Ostrovsky equations with either quadratic or cubic nonlinearities can…
In this paper, we study the stability of smooth solitary waves for the $b$-family of Camassa-Holm equations. We verify the stability criterion analytically for the general case $b>1$ by the idea of the monotonicity of the period function…
Following the original approach introduced by T. Cazenave and P.L. Lions in \cite{CaLi} we prove the existence and the orbital stability of standing waves for the following class of NLS: \label{intr1} i\partial_t u+ \Delta u - V(x) u + Q(x)…
Periodic waves of the one-dimensional cubic defocusing NLS equation are considered. Using tools from integrability theory, these waves have been shown in [Bottman, Deconinck, and Nivala, 2011] to be linearly stable and the Floquet-Bloch…

It has long been conjectured that generic dynamical systems has finite periodic orbits, ever since the time of Poincar\'e. In this article, a perturbation method is proposed for the $C^r$ closing of periodic orbits. This method is…
We consider delay differential equations of the form $ y'(t)=-ay(t)+bf(y(t-1)) $ with positive parameters $a,b$ and a unimodal $f:[0,\infty)\to [0,1]$. It is assumed that the nonlinear $f$ is close to a function $g:[0,\infty)\to [0,1]$ with…
Systems of pinned billiard balls serve as simplified models of collisions, where all particles remain fixed in their positions while their (pseudo-)velocities evolve in accordance with the laws of conservation of energy and momentum. For…
We derive the precise stability criterion for smooth solitary waves in the b-family of Camassa-Holm equations. The smooth solitary waves exist on the constant background. In the integrable cases b = 2 and b = 3, we show analytically that…
We study a class of planar billiards having the remarkable property that their phase space consists up to a set of zero measure of two invariant sets formed by orbits moving in opposite directions. The tables of these billiards are tubular…

We consider an autonomous differential system in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with a periodic orbit and we give a new method for computing the characteristic multipliers associated to it. Our method works when the periodic orbit is given by the…
