The classical model of a star is the Lane-Emden star with dynamics governed by the Euler-Poisson equations. We consider the case of a liquid star with a "stiffened gas" equation of state $p=\rho^\gamma-1$. We derive the full 3D linearised…

We obtain sharp criteria for transverse stability and instability of line solitons in the discrete nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations on one- and two-dimensional lattices near the anti-continuum limit. On a two-dimensional lattice, the…
We unravel the linear stability properties of an otherwise stagnant ultrathin non-wetting liquid film of thickness $h_o$ coating a spherical substrate of radius $R$. The configuration is known to be unstable due to the competition of the…
The Lane-Emden inequality controls $\iint_{\mathbb{R}^{2d}}\rho(x)\rho(y)|x-y|^{-\lambda}\,dx\,dy$ in terms of the $L^1$ and $L^p$ norms of $\rho$. We provide a remainder estimate for this inequality in terms of a suitable distance of…
