We study a two-fluid description of high and low temperature components of the electron velocity distribution of an idealized tokamak plasma. We refine previous results on the laminar steady-state solution. On the one hand, we prove global…
We study stability and bifurcations in holomorphic families of polynomial automorphisms of C^2. We say that such a family is weakly stable over some parameter domain if periodic orbits do not bifurcate there. We first show that this defines…
A study of the non linear modes of a two degree of freedom mechanical system with bilateral elastic stop is considered. The issue related to the non-smoothness of the impact force is handled through a regularization technique. In order to…
