We construct two examples of invariant manifolds that despite being locally unstable at every point in the transverse direction are globally stable. Using numerical simulations we show that these invariant manifolds temporarily repel nearby…
We prove a theorem on structural stability of smooth attractor-repellor endomorphisms of compact manifolds, with singularities. By attractor-repellor, we mean that the non-wandering set of the dynamics $f$ is the disjoint union of a…
Continuous attractors offer a unique class of solutions for storing continuous-valued variables in recurrent system states for indefinitely long time intervals. Unfortunately, continuous attractors suffer from severe structural instability…
We study a two-phase modified Stefan problem modeling solid combustion and nonequilibrium phase transition. The problem is known to exhibit a variety of non-trivial dynamical scenarios. We develop a priori estimates and establish…
We construct finite dimensional families of non-steady solutions to the Euler equations, existing for all time, and exhibiting all kinds of qualitative dynamics in the phase space, for example: strange attractors and chaos, invariant…
The existence of a global attractor is proved for the skew-product semiflow induced by almost periodic Nicholson systems and new conditions are given for the existence of a unique almost periodic positive solution which exponentially…

We construct an open set of endomorphisms of an arbitrary two-dimensional manifold which have attractors and non-wandering sets with non-invariant interior. This is a notable contrast to the properties of diffeomorphisms, where the interior…
We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of one coupled PDE-ODE system arising in mathematical biology as a model for the development of a forest ecosystem. In the case where the ODE-component of the system is monotone, we establish…
Under fairly general assumptions, we prove that every compact invariant set $\mathcal I$ of the semiflow generated by the semilinear damped wave equation u_{tt}+\alpha u_t+\beta(x)u-\Deltau = f(x,u), (t,x)\in[0,+\infty[\times\Omega, u = 0,…
We present a dynamical analysis in terms of new expansion-normalized variables for homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi-I spacetimes in $f(R)$ gravity in the presence of anisotropic matter. With a suitable choice of the evolution parameter,…

The dynamics of cosmological models with isotropic matter sources (perfect fluids) is extensively studied in the literature; in comparison, the dynamics of cosmological models with anisotropic matter sources is not. In this paper we…
Self-consistent system of spinor, scalar and BI gravitational fields is considered. Exact solutions to the field equations in terms of volume scale of the BI metric are obtained. Einstein field equations in account of the cosmological…
In this paper we give, for the first time, a complete description of the dynamics of tilted spatially homogeneous cosmologies of Bianchi type II. The source is assumed to be a perfect fluid with equation of state $p = (\gamma -1) \mu$,…
In the scalar-tensor theory of gravitation it seems nontrivial to establish if solutions of the cosmological equations in the presence of a cosmological constant behave as attractors independently of the initial values. We develop a general…

In this paper, several results concerning attraction and asymptotic stability in the large of nonlinear ordinary differential equations are presented. The main result is very simple to apply yielding a sufficient condition under which the…
