We study a class of 2-dimensional Hamiltonian systems $H(x,y,p_x,p_y)=\frac12(p_x^2+p_y^2) +V(x,y)$ in which the plane $x$=$p_x$=0 is invariant under the Hamiltonian flow, so that straight-line librations along the y axis exist, and we also…
Analytic methods show stability of the stationary accretion of test fluids but they are inconclusive in the case of self-gravitating stationary flows. We investigate numerically stability of those stationary flows onto compact objects that…
We show stability of pairs of Ricci flat metrics and parallel spinor fields with respect to the spinor flow, i.e. we show that the spinor flow with initial conditions near such pairs converges to a critical point with exponential speed.…
We consider the symmetry-breaking steady state bifurcation of a spatially-uniform equilibrium solution of E(2)-equivariant PDEs. We restrict the space of solutions to those that are doubly-periodic with respect to a square or hexagonal…

The Boussinesq equations for Rayleigh-Benard convection are simulated for a cylindrical container with an aspect ratio near 1.5. The transition from an axisymmetric stationary flow to time-dependent flows is studied using nonlinear…
We consider Lagrangians in Hamilton's principle defined on the tangent space $TG$ of a Lie group $G$. Invariance of such a Lagrangian under the action of $G$ leads to the symmetry-reduced Euler-Lagrange equations called the Euler-Poincar\'e…
We show that the presence of a two-dimensional inertial manifold for an ordinary differential equation in ${\mathbb R}^{n}$ permits reducing the problem of determining asymptotically orbitally stable limit cycles to the Poincare--Bendixson…
We study linear stability of exponential periodic solutions of a system of singular amplitude equations associated with convective Turing bifurcation in the presence of conservation laws, as arises in modern biomorphology models, binary…
A necessary and sufficient condition ("exponential nonresonance") is established for every signal obtained from a linear flow on $\mathbb{R}^d$ by means of a linear observable to either vanish identically or else exhibit a strong form of…
We develop the necessary tools, including a notion of logarithmic derivative for curves in homogeneous spaces, for deriving a general class of equations including Euler-Poincar\'e equations on Lie groups and homogeneous spaces. Orbit…
This work is concerned with the stability properties of linear stochastic differential equations with random (drift and diffusion) coefficient matrices, and the stability of a corresponding random transition matrix (or exponential…
In this paper, we investigate nonlinear stability of planar steady Euler flows related to least energy solutions of the Lane-Emden equation in a smooth bounded domain. We prove the orbital stability of these flows in terms of both the $L^s$…
We develop a theoretical framework for computer-assisted proofs of the existence of invariant objects in semilinear PDEs. The invariant objects considered in this paper are equilibrium points, traveling waves, periodic orbits and invariant…
In this paper, both smooth subsonic and transonic flows to steady Euler-Poisson system in a concentric cylinder are studied. We first establish the existence of cylindrically symmetric smooth subsonic and transonic flows to steady…

We consider the stability of periodic gravity free-surface water waves traveling downstream at a constant speed over a shear flow of finite depth. In case the free surface is flat, a sharp criterion of linear instability is established for…
This work deals with planar dynamical systems with and without noise. In the first part, we seek to gain a refined understanding of such systems by studying their differential-geometric transformation properties under an arbitrary smooth…
