The way in which kinetic energy is distributed over the multiplicity of inertial (intermediate) scales is a fundamental feature of turbulence. According to Kolmogorov's 1941 theory, on the basis of a dimensional analysis, the form of the…
Rotational invariant circles of area-preserving maps are an important and well-studied example of KAM tori. John Greene conjectured that the locally most robust rotational circles have rotation numbers that are noble, i.e., have continued…
Tsallis' non-extensive statistical mechanics is claimed to be the correct tool to describe the behaviour of low-dimensional dissipative maps at the edge of chaos. Indeed, many different approaches confirm that, for those systems, the…
In many applications, there is a desire to determine if the dynamics of interest are chaotic or not. Since positive Lyapunov exponents are a signature for chaos, they are often used to determine this. Reliable estimates of Lyapunov…
We study the dynamical stability of planetary systems consisting of one hypothetical terrestrial mass planet ($1 $ or $10 \mearth$) and one massive planet ($10 \mearth - 10 \mjup$). We consider masses and orbits that cover the range of…
We study abundance of a special class of elliptic islands (called cyclicity one elliptic islands) for the Standard family of area preserving diffeomorphisms for large parameter values, i.e. far from the KAM regime. Outside a bounded set of…
This paper studies the asymptotic stability of shock profiles and rarefaction waves under space-periodic perturbations for one-dimensional convex scalar viscous conservation laws. For the shock profile, we show that the solution approaches…
The nonlinear stability of Minkowski spacetime has been one of the central achievements in the mathematical theory of general relativity and, more broadly, in the analysis of nonlinear geometric wave equations. Since the seminal work of…
We complete a full classification of non-degenerate traveling waves of scalar balance laws from the point of view of spectral and nonlinear stability/instability under (piecewise) smooth perturbations. A striking feature of our analysis is…
This paper studies exponential stability properties of a class of two-dimensional (2D) systems called differential repetitive processes (DRPs). Since a distinguishing feature of DRPs is that the problem domain is bounded in the "time"…
Turing patterns on unbounded domains have been widely studied in systems of reaction-diffusion equations. However, up to now, they have not been studied for systems of conservation laws. Here, we (i) derive conditions for Turing instability…
New necessary and sufficient conditions are proposed for the stability investigation of dynamical systems using the flow and the divergence of the phase vector velocity. The obtained conditions generalize the well-known results of V.P.…
We consider the 1/2-dimensional relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system that describes the time-evolution of a plasma. We find a relatively simple criterion for spectral instability of a wide class of equilibria. This class includes…
We prove the global asymptotic stability of the Minkowski space for the massless Einstein-Vlasov system in wave coordinates. In contrast with previous work on the subject, no compact support assumptions on the initial data of the Vlasov…
We study the stability of the exterior of Type I and Type II singularity formation for the wave maps equation in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ with $d\geq2$ and the power nonlinear wave equation in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ with $d\geq3$:Given characteristic…
With the objective of developing computational methods for stability analysis of switched systems, we consider the problem of finding the minimal lower bounds on average dwell-time that guarantee global asymptotic stability of the origin.…
We consider the Nernst-Planck-Navier-Stokes system in a bounded domain of ${\mathbb {R}}^d$, $d=2,3$ with general nonequilibrium Dirichlet boundary conditions for the ionic concentrations. We prove the existence of smooth steady state…
The study of singular perturbations of the Dirichlet energy is at the core of the phenomenological-description paradigm in soft condensed matter. Being able to pass to the limit plays a crucial role in the understanding of the…
Chaotic pattern dynamics in many experimental systems show structured time averages. We suggest that simple universal boundary effects underly this phenomenon and exemplify them with the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation in a finite domain. As…
Recent progress of symbolic dynamics of one- and especially two-dimensional maps has enabled us to construct symbolic dynamics for systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Numerical study under the guidance of symbolic dynamics is…
