A central feature of complex systems is the relevance and entanglement of different levels of description. For instance, the dynamics of ecosystems can be alternatively described in terms of large ecological processes and classes of…
A noncommutative polynomial is stable if it is nonsingular on all tuples of matrices whose imaginary parts are positive definite. In this paper a characterization of stable polynomials is given in terms of strongly stable linear matrix…
Given physical systems, counting rule for their statistical mechanical descriptions need not be unique, in general. It is shown that this nonuniqueness leads to the existence of various canonical ensemble theories which equally arise from…
The well known stability conjecture of Palis and Smale states that if a diffeomorphism is structurally stable then the chain recurrent set is hyperbolic. It is natural to ask if this type of results is true for an individual chain class,…
A class of polynomial dynamical systems called complex-balanced are locally stable and conjectured to be globally stable. In general, complex-balancing is not a robust property, i.e., small changes in parameter values may result in the loss…
We investigate the role of local force balance in the transition from a microcanonical ensemble of static granular packings, characterized by an invariant stress, to a canonical ensemble. Packings in two dimensions admit a reciprocal…
We demonstrate that, in contrast with what was previously believed, multi-hump solitary waves can be stable. By means of linear stability analysis and numerical simulations, we investigate the stability of two- and three-hump solitary waves…
There has been a long-standing and at times fractious debate whether complex and large systems can be stable. In ecology, the so-called `diversity-stability debate' arose because mathematical analyses of ecosystem stability were either…
In $3+1$ dimensions, we study the stability of Kasner solutions for the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar field-Vlasov system. This system incorporates gravity, electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions for the initial stage of our universe. Due…
In the research community, there exists the strong belief that a continuous Galerkin scheme is notoriously unstable and additional stabilization terms have to be added to guarantee stability. In the first part of the series [6], the…
Attempts to establish microcanonical entropy as an adiabatic invariant date back to works of Gibbs and Hertz. More recently, a consistency relation based on adiabatic invariance has been used to argue for the validity of Gibbs (volume)…
We have made a study of several update algorithms using the XY model. We find that sequential local overrelaxation is not ergodic at the scale of typical Monte Carlo simulation time. We have introduced a new multisite microcanonical update…
The non-extensive statistical mechanics has been used to describe a variety of complex systems. The maximization of entropy, often used to introduce the non-extensive statistical mechanics, is a formal procedure and does not easily leads to…
Oscillons are long-lived, localized, oscillatory scalar field configurations. In this work we derive a condition for the existence of small-amplitude oscillons (and provide solutions) in scalar field theories with non-canonical kinetic…
We consider slope stability of the canonical extension of the tangent bundle by the trivial line bundle and with the extension class c_1(T_X) on Picard-rank-1 Fano varieties. In cases where the index divides the dimension or the dimension…
We prove that harmonic PHH submersions are (weakly) stable.
Ensemble inequivalence has been previously displayed only for long-range interacting systems with non-extensive energy. In order to perform the thermodynamic limit, such systems require an unphysical, so-called, Kac rescaling of the…
A first-order structure $\mathfrak{A}$ is called monadically stable iff every expansion of $\mathfrak{A}$ by unary predicates is stable. In this article we give a classification of the class $\mathcal{M}$ of $\omega$-categorical monadically…
We study necessary conditions for stability of a Numerov-type compact higher-order finite-difference scheme for the 1D homogeneous wave equation in the case of non-uniform spatial meshes. We first show that the uniform in time stability…
We study the stability properties of nodal sets of Laplace eigenfunctions on compact manifolds under specific small perturbations. We prove that nodal sets are fairly stable if said perturbations are relatively small, more formally,…
