This note is devoted to the linear stability of the Couette flow for the non-isentropic compressible Euler equations in a domain $\mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{R}$. Exploiting the several conservation laws originated from the special structure…
We study the nonlinear dynamics of the kinetic wave equation associated to the FPU problem and prove stability of the non-singular Rayleigh-Jeans equilibria. The lack of a spectral gap for the linearized problem leads to polynomial decay,…

Variational principles play a fundamental role in deriving evolution equations of physics. They are working well in case of nondissipative evolution but for dissipative systems they are not unique, not predictive and not constructive. With…

Unitary representations of the Galilei group are studied in phase space, in order to describe classical and quantum systems. Conditions to write in general form the generator of time translation and Lagrangians in phase space are then…
In high-energy physics, coordinate noncommutativity represents the core idea that space itself can be quantized, as expressed through the frameworks of string theory and noncommutative field theory. Influence of such a noncommutativity on…
We perform a bifurcation analysis of the steady states of Rayleigh--B\'enard convection with no-slip boundary conditions in two dimensions using a numerical method called deflated continuation. By combining this method with an…
We have previously formulated a simple criterion for deducing the intervals of oscillations in the solutions of second-order linear homogeneous differential equations. In this work, we extend analytically the same criterion to the cubic…

The threshold conditions to convective instability in a semi-infinite porous layer saturated by a fluid are determined. The classical setup for this problem in geothermal fluid dynamics was originally modelled by Wooding in 1960. Its…
We consider the four waves spatial homogeneous kinetic equation arising in wave turbulence theory. We study the long-time behaviour and existence of solutions around the Rayleigh-Jeans equilibrium solutions. For cut-off'd frequencies, we…
