We address the propagation into an unstable state of a localised disturbance in a forward-backward diffusion pseudo-parabolic equation. Three asymptotic regimes are distinguished as t tends to infinity, the first being a regime ahead of the…
The periodic modulation of an oscillator's frequency can lead to so-called parametric oscillations at half the driving frequency, which display bistability between two states whose phases differ by \pi. Such phase-locking bistability is at…
This paper is addressed to a stabilization problem of a system coupled by a wave and a Euler-Bernoulli plate equation. Only one equation is supposed to be damped. Under some assumption about the damping and the coupling terms, it is shown…
The evolution of the amplitude of two nonlinearly interacting waves is considered, via a set of coupled nonlinear Schroedinger-type equations. The dynamical profile is determined by the wave dispersion laws (i.e. the group velocities and…
We present a method to stabilize the frequency of self-sustained vibrations in micro- and nanomechanical resonators. The method refers to a two-mode system with the vibrations at significantly different frequencies. The signal from one mode…

In this paper, a rarefaction wave under space-periodic perturbation for the 3 times 3 rate-type viscoelastic system is considered. It is shown that if the initial perturbation around the rarefaction wave is suitably small, then the solution…

This article concerns the stability of a model for mass-spring systems with positive damping and negative stiness. It is well known that when the coefficients are frozen in time the system is unstable. Here we find conditions on the…
We develop a theory of parametric excitation of weakly nonlinear standing gravity waves in a tank, which is under vertical vibrations with a slowly time-dependent ("chirped") vibration frequency. We show that, by using a negative chirp, one…
In this paper we study the stability of two different problems. The first one is a one-dimensional degenerate wave equation with degenerate damping, incorporating a drift term and a leading operator in non-divergence form. In the second…
We consider a dynamical system, possibly infinite dimensional or non-autonomous, with fast and slow time scales which is oscillatory with high frequencies in the fast directions. We first derive and justify the limit system of the slow…
This paper considers the problem of robust stability for a class of uncertain nonlinear quantum systems subject to unknown perturbations in the system Hamiltonian. The case of a nominal linear quantum system is considered with non-quadratic…
Spontaneous pattern formation in a variety of spatially extended nonlinear system always occurs through a modulation instability: homogeneous state of the system becomes unstable with respect to growing modulation modes. Therefore, the…
We study the stability of steady-state solutions of the Wave-Kinetic Equations for acoustic waves. Combining theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, we characterise the time evolution of small isotropic perturbations for both 2D and…
We consider a class of nonlinear ordinary differential equations of the second order with parameters. We establish conditions for perturbations of the coefficients of the equation under which the zero solution is asymptotically stable.…
We show how the state of an unstable particle can be defined in terms of stable asymptotic states. This general definition is used to discuss and to solve some old problems connected with the short-time and large-time behaviour of the…
This paper deals with the stabilization of an anti-stable string equation with Dirichlet actuation where the instability appears because of the uncontrolled boundary condition. Then, infinitely many unstable poles are generated and an…

Turing patterns on unbounded domains have been widely studied in systems of reaction-diffusion equations. However, up to now, they have not been studied for systems of conservation laws. Here, we (i) derive conditions for Turing instability…
