This paper is concerned with uniqueness in inverse acoustic scattering with phaseless far-field data at a fixed frequency. In our previous work ({\em SIAM J. Appl. Math. \bf78} (2018), 1737-1753), by utilizing spectral properties of the…
Self-oscillatory and self-rotatory process driven by non-conservative forces have usually been treated as applications of the concepts of Hopf bifurcation and limit cycle in the theory of differential equations, or as instability problems…
We investigate the non-linear dynamics of a two-dimensional film flowing down a finite heater, for a non-volatile and a volatile liquid. An oscillatory instability is predicted beyond a critical value of Marangoni number using linear…
The literature on dynamical systems has, for the most part, considered self-oscillators (i.e., systems capable of generating and maintaining a periodic motion at the expense of an external energy source with no corresponding periodicity)…

The breakup of a jet of a viscous fluid with viscosity $\mu _{1}$ immersed into another viscous fluid with viscosity $\mu _{2}$ is considered in the limit when the viscosity ratio $\lambda =\mu _{1}/\mu _{2}$ is close to zero. We show that,…
Pressure-relief valves, often the critical last line of defence in process engineering, are known to be susceptible to valve chatter. Such behaviour has been shown to arise from a flutter instability, or Hopf bifurcation, associated with…
The dynamics of filaments in flow are central to understanding a wide range of biological and soft-matter systems, yet their behavior under time-dependent forcing remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate the long-time dynamics of…
We study a gas of hard rods on a ring, driven by an external thermostat, with either elastic or inelastic collisions, which exhibits sub-diffusive behavior $<x^2 > \sim t^{1/2}$. We show the validity of the usual Fluctuation-Dissipation…
We study the dynamics arising when two identical oscillators are coupled near a Hopf bifurcation where we assume a parameter $\epsilon$ uncouples the system at $\epsilon=0$. Using a normal form for $N=2$ identical systems undergoing Hopf…
We consider the Saintillan--Shelley kinetic model of active rodlike particles in Stokes flow (Saintillan & Shelley 2008a,b), for which the uniform, isotropic suspension of pusher particles is known to be unstable in certain settings.…
Flutter of an elastic body of revolution spinning about its axis of symmetry is prohibited in the subcritical spinning speed range by the Krein theorem for the Hamiltonian perturbations. Indefinite damping creates conical domains of the…
Particles in a sufficiently strong electric field spontaneously rotate, provided that charge relaxation is slower in the particle than in the suspending fluid. It has long been known that drops also exhibit such "Quincke rotation," with the…
An extension of the Gutzwiller trace formula is given that includes diffraction effects due to hard wall scatterers or other singularities. The new trace formula involves periodic orbits which have arcs on the surface of singularity and…
