The so-called 'direct' approach to separation of variables in linear PDEs is applied to the hydrodynamic stability problem. Calculations are made for the complete linear stability equations in cylindrical coordinates. Several classes of the…

We study analytically and numerically the stability of the standing waves for a nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a point defect and a power type nonlinearity. A main difficulty is to compute the number of negative eigenvalues of the…

Relativity opens the door to a counter-intuitive fact: a state can be stable to perturbations in one frame of reference, and unstable in another one. For this reason, the job of testing the stability of states that are not Lorentz-invariant…

We consider a parabolic equation whose coefficients are Log-Lipschitz continuous in $t$ and Lipschitz continuous in $x$. Combining a recent conditional stability result with a well posed variational problem, we reconstruct the initial…

The Dirac equation is one of the most fundamental equations of modern physics. It is a spinor equation, but some tensor equivalents of the equation were proposed previously. Those equivalents were either nonlinear or involved several…

The dynamics of a radiating charge is one of the oldest unsettled problems in classical physics. The standard Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac (LAD) equation of motion is known to suffer from several pathologies and ambiguities. This paper briefly…

This paper presents a relativistic symmetrical interpretation of the Dirac equation in 1+1 dimensions which predicts no zitterbewegung for a free spin-1/2 particle. This could resolve the longstanding puzzle of zitterbewegung in…

While he derived the equation for the radiation force, Dirac (1938) mentioned a possibility to use different choices for the 4-momentum of an emitting electron. Particularly, the 4-momentum could be non-colinear to the electron 4-velocity.…

In an Oberbeck-Boussinesq model, rigorously derived, which includes compressibility, one could expect that the onset of convection for the B\'enard problem occurs at a higher critical Rayleigh number. Since of the difficulties related to…

It is still not known whether a solution to the incompressible Euler equation, endowed with a smooth initial value, can blow-up in finite time. In [{\em Comm. Math. Phys.}, 378:557--568, 2020] it has been shown that, if it exists, such a…

We consider the Taylor-Couette problem in an infinitely extended cylindrical domain. There exist modulated front solutions which describe the spreading of the stable Taylor vortices into the region of the unstable Couette flow. These…

We take the viewpoint that the physically acceptable solutions of the Lorentz--Dirac equation for radiation back-reaction are actually determined by a second order equation of motion, the self-force being given as a function of spacetime…

Origin of hydrodynamical instability and turbulence in the Keplerian accretion disc as well as similar laboratory shear flows, e.g. plane Couette flow, is a long standing puzzle. These flows are linearly stable. Here we explore the…
