We present a systematic study of the Rayleigh--Ritz variational method for quantum oscillators in the Segal--Bargmann space. We rigorously derive the normalizability condition $|\alpha| < \tfrac{1}{2}$ for generalized Gaussian trial…
Starting from the linearized fluctuating Boussinesq equations we derive an expression for the structure factor of fluids in stationary convection-free thermal nonequilibrium states, taking into account both gravity and finite-size effects.…
We describe linear and nonlinear modes in a ring-shaped waveguide with localized gain and dissipation modeled by two Dirac $\delta$ functions located symmetrically. The strengths of the gain and dissipation are equal, i.e., the system obeys…
We formulate a variational principle for non-relativistic quantum mechanics inspired by Gauss's principle of least constraint. We define a quantum constraint functional as the probability-weighted square deviation between the actual motion…
A model for the structure function constant associated with index of refraction fluctuations in Rayleigh-Benard turbulence is developed. The model is based upon the following assumptions: (1) the turbulence is homogeneous and isotropic at…
A necessary and sufficient condition for linear stability of inviscid parallel shear flow is formulated by a novel variational method, where the velocity profile is assumed to be monotonic and analytic. Unstable eigenvalues of the Rayleigh…
The investigation of symmetry nonrestoration scenarios has led to a controversy, with certain nonperturbative approximation schemes giving indications in sharp disagreement with those found within conventional perturbation theory. A…
The dynamics of Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence convection in presence of an alternating, time periodic acceleration is studied by means of extensive direct numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equations. Within this framework, we discover a…
We study resonances of nonlinear systems of differential equations, including but not limited to the equations of motion of a particle moving in a potential. We use the calculus of variations to determine the minimal additive forcing…
In this paper we consider minimizers for nonlocal energy functionals generalizing elastic energies that are connected with the theory of peridynamics \cite{Silling2000} or nonlocal diffusion models \cite{Rossi}. We derive nonlocal versions…
Given an approximate eigenvector, its (standard) Rayleigh quotient and harmonic Rayleigh quotient are two well-known approximations of the corresponding eigenvalue. We propose a new type of Rayleigh quotient, the homogeneous Rayleigh…
In this article, we prove nonlinear orbital stability for steadily translating vortex pairs, a family of nonlinear waves that are exact solutions of the incompressible, two-dimensional Euler equations. We use an adaptation of Kelvin's…
The statistical linearization method known in nonlinear mechanics and random vibrations theory has been applied to stochastically quantized fields in finite temperature. It has been shown that even in its simplest form the method yields…
In this paper, we prove a new functional inequality of Hardy-Littlewood type for generalized rearrangements of functions. We then show how this inequality provides {\em quantitative} stability results of steady states to evolution systems…
In the present work, we establish the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the singular elliptic equations with a double weighted nonlocal interaction term defined in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N$. The nonlocal term and the…
We consider the flow of multiple particles in a Bingham fluid in an anti-plane shear flow configuration. The limiting situation in which the internal and applied forces balance and the fluid and particles stop flowing, that is, when the…
We discuss the irreversibility, nonlocality, and fluctuations, as well as the Lyapunov and hydrodynamic instabilities characterizing atomistic, smooth-particle, and finite-difference solutions of the two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard…
A new energy-consistent discretization of the viscous dissipation function in incompressible flows is proposed. It is implied by choosing a discretization of the diffusive terms and a discretization of the local kinetic energy equation and…
In this paper we present a detailed description of the statistical and computational techniques that were employed to study a driven far-from-equilibrium steady-state Rayleigh-B{\'e}nard system in the non-turbulent regime ($Ra\leq 3500$).…
