We fill the two main remaining gaps in the full classification of non-degenerate planar traveling waves of scalar balance laws from the point of view of spectral and nonlinear stability/instability under smooth perturbations. On one hand we…
Arithmetic combinatorics is often concerned with the problem of bounding the behaviour of arbitrary finite sets in a group or ring with respect to arithmetic operations such as addition or multiplication. Similarly, combinatorial geometry…

In this work I study the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem associated with the coupled Schr\"odinger equations {with quadratic nonlinearities}, which appears modeling problems in nonlinear optics. I obtain the local well-posedness for…
This article is focused on two related topics within the study of partial differential equations (PDEs) that illustrate a beautiful connection between dynamics, topology, and analysis: stability and spatial dynamics. The first is a property…
This is a survey on algorithmic questions about combinatorial and geometric properties of convex polytopes. We give a list of 35 problems; for each the current state of knowledege on its theoretical complexity status is reported. The…
The aims of this article are two-fold. First, we give a geometric characterization of the optimal basic solutions of the general linear programming problem (no compactness assumptions) and provide a simple, self-contained proof of it…
The discrete periodic lattice of masses and springs with line and point defects is considered. The dispersion equations for propagative, guided and localised waves are obtained. The detailed analysis of example with three masses is…
The stability of periodic traveling wave solutions to dispersive PDEs with respect to `arbitrary' perturbations is still widely open. The focus is put here on stability with respect to perturbations of the same period as the wave, for…
Partial differential equations endowed with a Hamiltonian structure, like the Korteweg--de Vries equation and many other more or less classical models, are known to admit rich families of periodic travelling waves. The stability theory for…
We consider a classical problem of linear stability of convective rolls in a plane layer with stress-free horizontal boundaries near the onset of convection. The problem has been studied by a number of authors, who have shown that rolls of…
