We establish nonlinear stability of fronts that describe the creation of a periodic pattern through the invasion of an unstable state. Our results concern pushed fronts, that is, fronts whose propagation is driven by a localized mode at the…
The question addressed here is the long time evolution of the solutions to a class of one-dimensional reaction-diffusion equations, in which the diffusion is given by an integral operator. The underlying motivation, discussed in the first…
We study the front propagation in Reaction-Diffusion systems whose reaction dynamics exhibits an unstable fixed point and chaotic or noisy behaviour. We have examined the influence of chaos and noise on the front propagation speed and on…
Flutter instability in an infinite medium is a form of material instability corresponding to the occurrence of complex conjugate squares of the acceleration wave velocities. Although its occurrence is known to be possible in elastoplastic…
In quasi-two-dimensional experiments with photoelastic particles confined to an annular region, an intruder constrained to move in a circular path halfway between the annular walls experiences stick-slip dynamics. We discuss the response of…
Azimuthal instabilities occur in rotationally symmetric systems, either as spinning (rotating) waves or standing waves. We make use of a novel ansatz to derive a differential equation characterizing the state of these instabilities in terms…
We investigate the 2D instability recently discussed by Gallet et al. (2010) and Ilin \& Morgulis (2013) which arises when a radial crossflow is imposed on a centrifugally-stable swirling flow. By finding a simpler rectilinear example of…
This paper deals with classes of (de)stabilizing switching signals for switched systems. Most of the available conditions for stability of switched systems are sufficient in nature, and consequently, their violation does not conclude…

We provide Lyapunov-like characterizations of boundedness and convergence of non-trivial solutions for a class of systems with unstable invariant sets. Examples of systems to which the results may apply include interconnections of stable…
Time-decaying perturbations of nonlinear oscillatory systems in the plane are considered. It is assumed that the unperturbed systems are non-isochronous and the perturbations oscillate with an asymptotically constant frequency. Resonance…

Marangoni instabilities can emerge when a liquid interface is subjected to a concentration or temperature gradient. It is generally believed that for these instabilities bulk effects like buoyancy are negligible as compared to interfacial…
