We evaluate by direct calculation the Lopatinski determinant for ZND detonations in Majda's model for reacting flow, and show that on the nonstable (nonnegative real part) complex half-plane it has a single zero at the origin of…

Using Evans function techniques, we develop a stability index for weak and strong detonation waves analogous to that developed for shock waves in [GZ,BSZ], yielding useful necessary conditions for stability. Here, we carry out the analysis…

We carry out a systematic numerical stability analysis of ZND detonations of Majda's model with Arrhenius-type ignition function, a simplified model for reacting flow, as heat release and activation energy are varied. Our purpose is, first,…

We consider the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a focusing cubic term and a defocusing quintic nonlinearity in dimensions two and three. The core of this article is the notion of stability of solitary waves. We recall the two standard…

After making modifications to the Reactive Empirical Bond Order potential for Molecular Dynamics (MD) of Brenner et al. in order to make the model behave in a more conventional manner, we discover that the new model exhibits detonation…

The rigorous study of spectral stability of strong detonations was begun by Erpenbeck in the 1960s. Working with the Zeldovitch-von Neumann-D\"oring (ZND) model, he identified two fundamental classes of detonation profiles, referred to as…

Continuing the program initiated by Humpherys, Lyng, & Zumbrun [17] for strong detonation waves, we use a combination of analytical and numerical Evans-function techniques to analyze the spectral stability of weak detonation waves in a…

We examine the potential of using colliders to distinguish models with parity (Z_2) stabilized dark matter (DM) from models in which the DM is stabilized by other symmetries, taking the latter to be a Z_3 symmetry for illustration. The key…

We demonstrate that the commonly known concept, which treats solitons as nonsingular solutions produced by the interplay of nonlinear self-attraction and linear dispersion, may be extended to include modes with a relatively weak singularity…

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 present a streamlined account of recent developments in the stability theory for planar viscous shock waves, with an emphasis on applications to physical models with ``real,'' or partial viscosity. The main result is the establishment of…

We study singularity formation in two one-dimensional nonlinear wave models with quadratic time-derivative nonlinearities. The non-null model violates the null condition and typically develops finite-time blow-up; the null-form model is…

For strong detonation waves of the inviscid Majda model, spectral stability was established by Jung and Yao for waves with step-type ignition functions, by a proof based largely on explicit knowledge of wave profiles. In the present work,…

We introduce a generalized version of the Ablowitz-Ladik model with a power-law nonlinearity, as a discretization of the continuum nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with the same type of the nonlinearity. The model opens a way to study the…

We study the azimuthal modulational instability of vortices with different topological charges, in the focusing two-dimensional nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger (NLS) equation. The method of studying the stability relies on freezing the radial…

We construct constant rest-mass sequences of equilibrium models of differentially rotating neutron stars which resemble binary neutron star post-merger remnants. For a more realistic description of the post-merger remnant, we impose that…

We consider the nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation with a harmonic potential in the presence of two combined energy-subcritical power nonlinearities. We assume that the larger power is defocusing, and the smaller power is focusing. Such a…

A geometrical analysis of the stability of nuclei against deformations is presented. In particular, we use Catastrophe Theory to illustrate discontinuous changes in the behavior of nuclei with respect to deformations as one moves in the N -…

Confirming a conjecture of Lyng--Raoofi--Texier--Zumbrun, we show that stability of strong detonation waves in the ZND, or small-viscosity, limit is equivalent to stability of the limiting ZND detonation together with stability of the…

Very narrow spatial bright solitons in (1+1)D and (2+1)D versions of cubic-quintic and full saturable models are studied, starting from the full system of the Maxwell's equations, rather than from the paraxial (NLS) approximation. For the…
