We complete a full classification of non-degenerate traveling waves of scalar balance laws from the point of view of spectral and nonlinear stability/instability under (piecewise) smooth perturbations. A striking feature of our analysis is…

Using analytical and numerical Evans-function techniques, we examine the spectral stability of strong-detonation-wave solutions of Majda's scalar model for a reacting gas mixture with an Arrhenius-type ignition function. We introduce an…

We study the spectral stability of a family of periodic standing wave solutions to the generalized KdV (g-KdV) in a neighborhood of the origin in the spectral plane using what amounts to a rigorous Whitham modulation theory calculation. In…

Nonlinear waves in dispersive media can be succeptible to modulational instabilities. We examine a category of scalar equations, with general dispersion and monomial nonlinearity, including a large variety of KdV-like equations. For…

A novel model of discretized energy cascade generated by Benjamin-Feir instability is presented. Conditions for appearance of direct and inverse cascades are given explicitly, as well as conditions for stabilization of the wave system due…

We study the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation arising in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in the unstable regime. Two cases are studied: the first when the system is free, the second when gradually a trapping potential is added. In both…

Periodic travelling waves are considered in the class of reduced Ostrovsky equations that describe low-frequency internal waves in the presence of rotation. The reduced Ostrovsky equations with either quadratic or cubic nonlinearities can…

It has long been a standard practice to neglect diffusive effects in stability analyses of detonation waves. Here, with the principal aim of quantifying the impact of these oft-neglected effects on the stability characteristics of such…

We study stability of solitary wave solutions for the fractional generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation $$ \partial_t u- \partial_{x_1} D^{\alpha}u+ \tfrac{1}{m}\partial_{x_1}(u^m)=0, ~ (x_1,\dots,x_d)\in \mathbb{R}^d, \, \, t\in…

In a shear flow particles migrate to their equilibrium positions in the microchannel. Here we demonstrate theoretically that if particles are inertial, this equilibrium can become unstable due to the Saffman lift force. We derive an…

In this paper, we investigate the existence and spectral stability of periodic traveling wave solutions for the regularized Camassa-Holm equation. To establish the existence of periodic waves, we employ tools from bifurcation theory to…

The nonlinear development of finite amplitude disturbances in mixed convection flow in a heated vertical annulus is studied by direct numerical simulation. The unsteady Navier Stokes equations are solved numerically by a spectral method for…

Ocean submesoscales, flows with characteristic size around 10 m - 10 km, are transitional between the larger, rotationally-constrained mesoscale and three-dimensional turbulence. In this paper we present simulations of a submesoscale ocean…

We study the spectrum of the linearization around standing wave profiles for two quantum hydrodynamics systems with linear and nonlinear viscosity. The essential spectrum for such profiles is stable; we investigate the point spectrum using…

In this paper we consider the spectral and nonlinear stability of periodic traveling wave solutions of a generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. In particular, we resolve the long-standing question of nonlinear modulational stability by…

Unstable periodic orbits scar wave functions in chaotic systems. This also influences the associated spectra, that follow the otherwise universal Porter--Thomas intensity distribution. We show here how this deviation extend to other longer…

We revisit the existence and stability of the critical front in the extended Fisher-KPP equation, refining earlier results of Rottsch\"afer and Wayne [28] which establish stability of fronts without identifying a precise decay rate. We…

We consider stratified steady water waves in a two dimensional channel. Our main subject is spectral properties of the Frechet derivatives of steady water Stokes waves. One of main results is the absence of subharmonic water waves in a…

We analyze a numerical instability that occurs in the well-known split-step Fourier method on the background of a soliton. This instability is found to be very sensitive to small changes of the parameters of both the numerical grid and the…

Stokes perturbative solution of the nonlinear (boundary value dependent) surface gravity wave problem is known to provide results of reasonable accuracy to engineers in estimating the phase speed and amplitudes of such nonlinear waves. The…
