Dynamic perturbation equations are derived for a generic stationary state of an elastic string model -- of the kind appropriate for representing a superconducting cosmic string -- in a flat background. In the case of a circular equilibrium…
We study the Boltzmann equation for a space-homogeneous gas of inelastic hard spheres, with a diffusive term representing a random background forcing. Under the assumption that the initial datum is a nonnegative $L^2$ function, with bounded…
A stability criterion is derived for self-similar solutions with perfect fluids which obey the equation of state $P=k\rho$ in general relativity. A wide class of self-similar solutions turn out to be unstable against the so-called kink…
In the present work we revisit the problem of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation parametrically, as a function of the relevant nonlinearity exponent, to examine the emergence of blow-up solutions, as traveling waveforms lose their…
We develop a general theory for linear stability of traveling waves of second order in time PDE's. More precisely, we introduce an explicitly computable index $\om^*\in (0, \infty]$ (depending on the self-adjoint part of the linearized…
Phase field evolutions are obtained by means of time discrete schemes, providing (or selecting) at each time step an equilibrium configuration of the system, which is usually computed by descent methods for the free energy (e.g.staggered…
In this paper we consider a family of generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations and study the linear modulational instability of small amplitude traveling waves solutions. Under explicit non-degeneracy conditions on the dispersion relation,…
The stability of colliding Bose-Einstein condensates is investigated. A set of coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations is thus considered, and analyzed via a perturbative approach. No assumption is made on the signs (or magnitudes) of the…
We study solitary wave solutions of the fifth-order Korteweg - de Vries equation which contains, besides the traditional quadratic nonlinearity and third-order dispersion, additional terms including cubic nonlinearity and fifth order linear…
We develop a stability theory for two-dimensional periodic traveling waves of general parabolic systems, possibly including conservation laws. In particular, we identify a diffusive spectral stability assumption and prove that it implies…
This paper explores the exponential stability of two nonlinear wave equations coupled through their velocities. The analysis is divided into two main cases. First, we consider a system where one equation is damped, while the other…
Extending previous results of Oh--Zumbrun and Johnson--Zumbrun, we show that spectral stability implies linearized and nonlinear stability of spatially periodic traveling-wave solutions of viscous systems of conservation laws for systems of…
We derive the precise stability criterion for smooth solitary waves in the b-family of Camassa-Holm equations. The smooth solitary waves exist on the constant background. In the integrable cases b = 2 and b = 3, we show analytically that…
In this paper, we investigate the spectral instability of periodic traveling wave solutions of the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation to long wavelength transverse perturbations in the generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation. By…
We study linear damped and viscoelastic wave equations evolving on a bounded domain. For both models, we assume that waves are subject to an inhomogeneous Neumann boundary condition on a portion of the domain's boundary. The analysis of…
We make rigorous spectral stability analysis for non-resonant capillary-gravity waves as well as resonant Wilton ripples of sufficiently small amplitude. Our analysis is based on a periodic Evans function approach, developed recently by the…
We prove the asymptotic stability of the high speed solitary waves to the Benjamin equation. This is done by establishing a Liouville property for the nonlinear evolution of the Benjamin equation around these solitary waves. To do this,…
Discrete breathers are ubiquitous structures in nonlinear anharmonic models ranging from the prototypical example of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model to Klein-Gordon nonlinear lattices, among many others. We propose a general criterion for the…
We consider large-scale dynamics of non-equilibrium dense soliton gas for the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation in the special "condensate" limit. We prove that in this limit the integro-differential kinetic equation for the spectral density…
We establish instability of periodic traveling waves arising in conservation laws featuring phase transition. The analysis uses the Evans function framework introduced by R.A. Gardner in the periodic case. The main new tool is a periodic…
