This article is concerned with stability analysis and stabilization of randomly switched nonlinear systems. These systems may be regarded as piecewise deterministic stochastic systems: the discrete switches are triggered by a stochastic…
We present a theorem that allows to simplify linear stability analysis of periodic and quasiperiodic nonlinear regimes in N-particle mechanical systems (both conservative and dissipative) with different kinds of discrete symmetry. This…

We introduce a new type of recurrence in the space of continuous and bounded functions. The property is easily verifiable, and can be considered for differential equations. This time, the existence and asymptotic stability of modulo…
We study equilibrium states in relativistic galactic dynamics which are described by solutions of the Einstein-Vlasov system for collisionless matter. We recast the equations into a regular three-dimensional system of autonomous first order…
The stability of equilibrium points of quasi-polynomial systems of ODES is considered. The criteria and Liapunov functions found generalize those traditionally known for Lotka-Volterra equatious, that now appear as a particular case.
We consider steady state solutions of the massive, asymptotically flat, spherically symmetric Einstein-Vlasov system, i.e., relativistic models of galaxies or globular clusters, and steady state solutions of the Einstein-Euler system, i.e.,…
The Vlasov equation is well known to provide a good description of the dynamics of mean-field systems in the $N \to \infty$ limit. This equation has an infinity of stationary states and the case of {\it homogeneous} states, for which the…
Linear systems governed by continuous-time difference equations cover a wide class of linear systems. From the Lyapunov-Krasovskii approach, we investigate stability for such a class of systems. Sufficient conditions, and in some particular…
We develop a quasilinear theory of the Vlasov equation in order to describe the approach of systems with long-range interactions to quasi-stationary states. We derive a diffusion equation governing the evolution of the velocity distribution…
Existence of spherically symmetric solutions to the Einstein-Vlasov system is well-known. However, it is an open problem whether or not static solutions arise as minimizers of a variational problem. Apart from being of interest in its own…
We prove the existence of axially symmetric solutions to the Vlasov--Poisson system in a rotating setting for sufficiently small angular velocity. The constructed steady states depend on Jacobi's integral and the proof relies on an implicit…
A mathematical proof for the stability of mKdV breathers is announced. This proof involves the existence of a nonlinear equation satisfied by all breather profiles, and a new Lyapunov functional which controls the dynamics of small…
The stability question of the Lane-Emden stationary gaseous star configurations is an interesting problem arising in astrophysics. We establish both linear and nonlinear dynamical instability results for the Lane-Emden solutions in the…
We discuss some contradictions found in the literature concerning the problem of stability of collisionless spherical stellar systems which are the simplest anisotropic generalization of the well-known polytrope models. Their distribution…
This work is concerned with the quasineutral limit of the one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson equation, for initial data close to stationary homogeneous profiles. Our objective is threefold: first, we provide a proof of the fact that the formal…
This papers shows that nonlinear filter in the case of deterministic dynamics is stable with respect to the initial conditions under the conditions that observations are sufficiently rich, both in the context of continuous and discrete time…
