We demonstrate a novel phase transition from stable to unstable fluid behaviour for fluid-filled cosmological spacetimes undergoing decelerated expansion. This transition occurs when the fluid speed of sound $c_S$ exceeds a critical value…
We apply methods of dynamical systems to study the behaviour of universe dominated by the generalized Chaplygin gas. We reduce the dynamics to a 2-dimensional Hamiltonian system and study its behaviour for various ranges of parameters. The…
We analyze the stability of the coflow configuration. The experiments and the global stability analysis show that the emitted jet always destabilizes before the tapering conical meniscus. This implies that the parameter conditions at which…
I study stable spatial Langmuir solitons in plasma based on nonlinear radial oscillations of charged particles. I discuss two situations when a Langmuir soliton can be stable. In the former case the stability of solitons against the…

We discuss stability of Q-balls interacting with fermions in theory with small coupling constant g. We argue that for configurations with large global U(1)-charge Q the problem of classical stability becomes more subtle. For example, in…
We explore the stability of certain many-body quantum states which may exist at zero or finite temperatures, may lack long-range order and even topological order, and still are thermodynamically distinct from uncorrelated disordered phases.…
This paper is concerned with transition fronts for reaction-diffusion equations of the Fisher-KPP type. Basic examples of transition fronts connecting the unstable steady state to the stable one are the standard traveling fronts, but the…
We investigate a two-component reaction-diffusion system with a slow-fast structure and spatially varying coefficients $f_1$ and $f_2$ appearing in the slow equation. Under mild boundedness and regularity conditions on $f_1$ and $f_2$ the…
The recently proposed chameleonic extension of bigravity theory, by including a scalar field dependence in the graviton potential, avoids several fine-tunings found to be necessary in usual massive bigravity. In particular it ensures that…
We consider spatially discrete bistable reaction-diffusion equations that admit wave front solutions. Depending on the parameters involved, such wave fronts appear to be pinned or to glide at a certain speed. We study the transition of…
Dynamical stability of the crack front line that propagates between two plates is studied numerically using the simple two-dimensional mass-spring model. It is demonstrated that the straight front line is unstable for low speed while it…
One-dimensional numerical simulations using the Euler equations and irreversible one-step Arrhenius kinetics are conducted to study the instability mechanism of a one-dimensional gaseous detonation. By increasing the activation energy, this…
A general system of several ordinary differential equations coupled with a reaction-diffusion equation in a bounded domain with zero-flux boundary condition is studied in the context of pattern formation. These initial-boundary value…

A reactive fluid dissolving the surface of a uniform fracture will trigger an instability in the dissolution front, leading to spontaneous formation of pronounced well-spaced channels in the surrounding rock matrix. Although the underlying…
We study stable axially and spherically symmetric spatial solitons in plasma with diatomic ions. The stability of a soliton against the collapse is provided by the interaction of induced electric dipole moments of ions with rapidly…
We characterise stationary fronts and dark solitons for counterpropagating waves in micro-ring and fibre resonators with two input fields, normal dispersion and nonlocal coupling. These features are different from those in systems with…
We report that defocusing cubic media with spatially inhomogeneous nonlinearity, whose strength increases rapidly enough toward the periphery, can support stable bright localized modes. Such nonlinearity landscapes give rise to a variety of…
