A companion paper provides a proposal for cosmic singularity resolution based upon general features of a bouncing unitary cosmological model in the mini-superspace approximation. This paper analyses novel phenomenology that can be…

We consider the inhomogeneous incompressible Euler equations including their local energy inequality as a differential inclusion. Providing a corresponding convex integration theorem and constructing subsolutions, we show the existence of…

The Evans function has become a standard tool in the mathematical study of nonlinear wave stability. In particular, computation of its zero set gives a convenient numerical method for determining the point spectrum of the associated linear…

In the present work, by taking advantage of a so-called practical limitation of fractional derivatives, namely, the absence of a simple chain and Leibniz's rules, we proposed a generalized fractional calculus of variation where the…

A class of generally nonlinear dynamical systems is considered, for which the Lagrangian is represented as a sum of homogeneous functions of the displacements and their derivatives. It is shown that an energy partition as a single relation…

This paper presents the continuous and discrete variational formulations of simple thermodynamical systems whose configuration space is a (finite dimensional) Lie group. We follow the variational approach to nonequilibrium thermodynamics…

The classical Lagrange formalism is generalized to the case of arbitrary stationary (but not necessarily conservative) dynamical systems. It is shown that the equations of motion for such systems can be derived in the standard ways from the…

We construct an equilibrium partition function for a non-relativistic fluid and use it to constrain the dynamics of the system. The construction is based on light cone reduction, which is known to reduce the Poincare symmetry to Galilean in…

English version of abstract: The dynamic optimization problems treated by the calculus of variations are usually solved with the help of the 2nd order Euler-Lagrange differential equations. These equations are, generally speaking,…

A Rayleigh B\'enard instability study using the energy conserving dissipative particle dynamics method is presented here for the first time. The simulation is performed on an ideal dissipative particle dynamics fluid in a three dimensional…

Isothermal compressible two-phase flows in a capillary are modeled with and without phase transition in the presence of gravity, employing Darcy's law for the velocity field. It is shown that the resulting systems are thermodynamically…

The linear stability threshold of the Rayleigh-Benard configuration is analyzed with compressible effects taken into account. It is assumed that the fluid obeys a Newtonian rheology and Fourier's law of thermal transport with constant,…

The analysis of the Rayleigh-B\'enard instability due to the mass diffusion in a fluid-saturated horizontal porous layer is reconsidered. The standard diffusion theory based on the variance of the molecular position growing linearly in time…

We study the two-phase, horizontally periodic, quasistationary Stokes flow in two dimensions driven by surface tension and gravity effects in the general context of fluids with (possibly) different viscosities and densities. The sharp…

The linearization principle states that the stability (or instability) of solutions to a suitable linearization of a nonlinear problem implies the stability (or instability) of solutions to the original nonlinear problem. In this work, we…

We consider the evolution of two incompressible fluids with homogeneous densities $\rho_-<\rho_+$ subject to gravity described by the inviscid Boussinesq equations and provide the explicit relaxation of the associated differential…

The parameter dependence of the various attractive solutions of the three variable nonlinear Lorenz model equations for thermal convection in Rayleigh-B\'enard flow is studied. Its bifurcation structure has commonly been investigated as a…

A variational approach is used to develop a robust numerical procedure for solving the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation. Following Maggs et al., we construct an appropriate constrained free energy functional, such that its…

We develop a variational technique for some wide classes of nonlinear evolutions. The novelty here is that we derive the main information directly from the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations. In particular, we prove that not only the…

We develop a method for systematically constructing Lagrangian functions for dissipative mechanical, electrical and, mechatronic systems. We derive the equations of motion for some typical mechatronic systems using deterministic principles…
