In the Vlasov-Poisson equation, every configuration which is homogeneous in space provides a stationary solution. Penrose gave in 1960 a criterion for such a configuration to be linearly unstable. While this criterion makes sense in a…

The steady states of an isotone electric system are described by an isotone function with respect to the componentwise order. When there are steady states, we highlight a dominant steady state and we study its domain of attraction for the…
In the last few years, the concepts of stability and Clifford regularity have been fruitfully extended by using star operations. In this paper we deepen the study of star stable and star regular domains and relate these two classes of…
[Abridged] Recently we have found that a family of models of partially relaxed, anisotropic stellar systems, inspired earlier by studies of incomplete violent relaxation, exhibits some interesting thermodynamic properties. Here we present a…
In this paper, we first consider the well-posedness and asymptotic behavior of a one-dimensional piezoelectric beam system with control boundary conditions of fractional derivative type, which represent magnetic effects on the system. By…
We present a brief overview of the basic concepts of the soliton stability theory and discuss some characteristic examples of the instability-induced soliton dynamics, in application to spatial optical solitons described by the NLS-type…

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…
In $3+1$ dimensions, we study the stability of Kasner solutions for the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar field-Vlasov system. This system incorporates gravity, electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions for the initial stage of our universe. Due…
We extend the notion of orbital stability to systems of nonlinear Schrodinger equations, then we prove this property under suitable assumptions of the local nonlinearity involved.
Many nonlinear dynamical systems can be written as Lure systems, which are described by a linear time-invariant system interconnected with a diagonal static sector-bounded nonlinearity. Sufficient conditions are derived for the global…
