We show the instability of two self-tuning brane world models with gauge invariant linear perturbation theory. This general method confirms a known instability of the original model with vanishing bulk potential. We also show the dynamical…
Here, it is shown that the path-integral representation of any stochastic or deterministic continuous-time dynamical model is a cohomological or Witten-type topological field theory, i.e., a model with global topological supersymmetry…
We consider the stability of front-type modulated waves in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGL). The waves occur in the bistable regime (e.g. of the quintic CGL) and connect the zero state to a spatially homogenous state oscillating…
The global stability of laminar axisymmetric low-density jets is investigated in the low Mach number approximation. The linear modal dynamics is found to be characterised by two features: a stable arc branch of eigenmodes and an isolated…
We consider the problem of dynamical stability for the $n$-vortex of the Ginzburg-Landau model. Vortices are one of the main examples of topological solitons, and their dynamic stability is the basic assumption of the asymptotic ``particle…
We report experimental study of the secondary modulational instability of a one-dimensional non-linear traveling wave in a long bounded channel. Two qualitatively different instability regimes involving fronts of spatio-temporal defects are…
Given a functional for a one-dimensional physical system, a classical problem is to minimize it by finding stationary solutions and then checking the positive definiteness of the second variation. Establishing the positive definiteness is,…
A system consisting of the cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation which is linearly coupled to an additional linear dissipative equation, is considered. The model was introduced earlier in the context of dual-core nonlinear optical fibers…
The raise of the symmetry breaking mechanism by Landau[1] is a landmark in the studies of phase transitions. The Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition[2-3] and the fractional quantum Hall effect[4], however, are believed to be induced by…
We construct two examples of invariant manifolds that despite being locally unstable at every point in the transverse direction are globally stable. Using numerical simulations we show that these invariant manifolds temporarily repel nearby…
Pattern formation in systems with a conserved quantity is considered by studying the appropriate amplitude equations. The conservation law leads to a large-scale neutral mode that must be included in the asymptotic analysis for pattern…
A system of partial differential equations representing stochastic neural fields was recently proposed with the aim of modelling the activity of noisy grid cells when a mammal travels through physical space. The system was rigorously…
The Navier-Stokes motions in cylindrical domain with Navier boundary conditions are considered. First the existence of global regular two-dimensional solutions are proved. The solutions are bounded by the same constant for all time.…
In this work, we introduce two spatio-temporal colored bounded noises, based on the zero-dimensional Cai-Lin and Tsallis-Borland noises. We then study and characterize the dependence of the defined bounded noises on both a temporal…
We investigate the nonlocal version of the Abels-Garcke-Gr\"{u}n (AGG) system, which describes the motion of a mixture of two viscous incompressible fluids. This consists of the incompressible Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard system…
An exact solution of a Landau model of an order-disorder transition with activated critical dynamics is presented. The model describes a funnel-shaped topography of the order parameter space in which the number of energy lowering…
Two models of driven optical cavities, based on two-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau equations, are introduced. The models include loss, the Kerr nonlinearity, diffraction in one transverse direction, and a combination of diffusion and…
We consider perturbations of closed Friedmann universes. Perturbation modes of two lowest wavenumbers ($L=0$ and $1$) are generally known to be fictitious, but here we show that both are physical. The issue is more subtle in Einstein static…
Perturbation approaches developed so far for the dark soliton solutions of the (fully integrable) defocusing nonlinear Schroedinger equation cannot describe the dynamics resulting from dissipative perturbations of the Ginzburg-Landau type.…
We consider a class of nonlinear differential equations that arises in the study of chemical reaction systems that are known to be locally asymptotically stable and prove that they are in fact globally asymptotically stable. More…
