A scalar model of wet active matter in the presence of an imposed temperature gradient, or chemical potential gradient, is considered. It is shown that there is a convective instability driven by a (negative) activity parameter. In this…
For simulation models of pedestrian dynamics there are always the issues of calibration and validation. These are usually done by comparing measured properties of the dynamics found in observation, experiments and simulation in certain…
High-order spatial discretizations with strong stability properties (such as monotonicity) are desirable for the solution of hyperbolic PDEs. Methods may be compared in terms of the strong stability preserving (SSP) time-step. We prove an…

We introduce a multistable subordinator, which generalizes the stable subordinator to the case of time-varying stability index. This enables us to define a multifractional Poisson process. We study properties of these processes and…

Bicoherence analysis is a well established method for identifying the quadratic nonlinearity of stationary processes. However, it is often applied without checking the basic assumptions of stationarity and convergence. The classic…
In this paper we derive stability conditions for a switched system where switching occurs between linear descriptor systems of different indices. In particular, our results can be used to analyse the stability of the important case when…
We generalize the theory of underlying one-step methods to strictly stable general linear methods (GLMs) solving nonautonomous ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that satisfy a global Lipschitz condition. We combine this theory with the…
A probability model exhibits instability if small changes in a data outcome result in large, and often unanticipated, changes in probability. This instability is a property of the probability model, given by a distributional form and a…
We study a dynamic model of the relationship between two people where the states depend on the "power" in the relationship. We perform a comprehensive analysis of stability of the system, and determine a set of conditions under which stable…
Stabilized methods (also called Chebyshev methods) are explicit methods with extended stability domains along the negative real axis. These methods are intended for large mildly stiff problems, originating mainly from parabolic PDEs. In…
We propose a simple stochastic process for modeling improper or noncircular complex-valued signals. The process is a natural extension of a complex-valued autoregressive process, extended to include a widely linear autoregressive term. This…
Recently created diffusive memristors have garnered significant research interest owing to their distinctive capability to generate a diverse array of spike dynamics which are similar in nature to those found in biological cells. This gives…
We demonstrate with a minimal example that in Filippov systems (dynamical systems governed by discontinuous but piecewise smooth vector fields) stable periodic motion with sliding is not robust with respect to stable singular perturbations.…
We demonstrate that the amplitudes of optical solitons in nonlinear multisequence optical waveguide coupler systems with weak linear and cubic gain-loss exhibit large stable oscillations along ultra-long distances. The large stable…
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 show that for two identical neuronal oscillators with strictly positive phase resetting curve, isochronous synchrony is an unstable attractor and arbitrarily weak noise can destroy entrainment and generate intermittent phase slips. Small…
The principle of linearized stability and instability is established for a classical model describing the spatial movement of an age-structured population with nonlinear vital rates. It is shown that the real parts of the eigenvalues of the…
In this article we demonstrate and compare two modified versions of the classical finite section method for band-dominated operators in case the latter is not stable. For both methods we give explicit criteria for their applicability.
