We construct a family of steady solutions to the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equation in a general bounded domain, such that the vorticity is supported in two well-separated regions of small diameter and converges to a pair of…

For the delayed logistic equation $x_{n+1} = a x_n (a-x_{n-1})$ it is well known that the nontrivial fixed point is locally stable for $1<a\leq 2$, and unstable for $a>2$. We prove that for $1<a\leq 2$ the fixed point is globally stable, in…

We consider the time-dependent nonlinear system $\dot q(t)=u(t)X(q(t))+(1-u(t))Y(q(t))$, where $q\in\R^2$, $X$ and $Y$ are two %$C^\infty$ smooth vector fields, globally asymptotically stable at the origin and $u:[0,\infty)\to\{0,1\}$ is an…

Given a nilpotent singular point of a planar vector field, its monodromy is associated with its Andreev number $n$. The parity of $n$ determines whether the existence of an inverse integrating factor implies that the singular point is a…

Consider analytical three-dimensional differential systems having a singular point at the origin such that its linear part is $y\partial_x-\lambda z\partial_z$ for some $\lambda\neq 0$. The restriction of such systems to a Center Manifold…

We show that every globally asymptotically stable system with a twice continuously differentiable vector field admits a local polynomial Lyapunov function on an arbitrary bounded neighborhood of the origin.

Abel equations of the form $x'(t)=f(t)x^3(t)+g(t)x^2(t)$, $t \in [-a,a]$, where $a>0$ is a constant, $f$ and $g$ are continuous functions, are of interest because of their close relation to planar vector fields. If $f$ and $g$ are odd…

We classify all topological phase portraits of the polynomial generalized Li\'enard system, determined by three arbitrary polynomials, at the origin and the infinity. This yields a complete characterization of monodromy at the origin and…

We study the center-focus problem for planar polynomial vector fields, which can be viewed as a local version of Hilbert's 16th problem. Based on a Lyapunov function approach, we establish novel results regarding the center-focus…

This paper concerns piecewise-smooth maps on $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are continuous but not differentiable on switching manifolds (where the functional form of the map changes). The stability of fixed points on switching manifolds is…

The purpose of this paper is to present an example of a C1 (in the Fr\'echet sense) discrete dynamical system in a infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space for which the origin is an exponentially asymptotically stable fixed point, but…

The equilibrium points and their linear stability has been discussed in the generalized photogravitational Chermnykh's problem. The bigger primary is being considered as a source of radiation and small primary as an oblate spheroid. The…

We consider the stability analysis of a large class of linear 1-D PDEs with polynomial data. This class of PDEs contains, as examples, parabolic and hyperbolic PDEs, PDEs with boundary feedback and systems of in-domain/boundary coupled…

Let $p:\mathbb{C} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ be a polynomial. The Gauss-Lucas theorem states that its critical points, $p'(z) = 0$, are contained in the convex hull of its roots. We prove a stability version whose simplest form is as follows:…

We show that the stability problem and the problem of constructing Barabanov norms can be resolved for planar linear switching systems in an explicit form. This can be done for every compact control set of $2 \times 2$ matrices. If the…

S-systems are simple examples of power-law dynamical systems (polynomial systems with real exponents). For planar S-systems, we study global stability of the unique positive equilibrium and solve the center problem. Further, we construct a…

Linear systems of neutral type are considered using the infinite dimensional approach. The main problems are asymptotic, non-exponential stability, exact controllability and regular asymptotic stabilizability. The main tools are the moment…

Verifying nonlinear stability of a laminar fluid flow against all perturbations is a central challenge in fluid dynamics. Past results rely on monotonic decrease of a perturbation energy or a similar quadratic generalized energy. None show…
