Critical degeneracy in a nonlinear hyperbolic equation can produce atypical instability

Charles Stuart

This paper deals with the initial value problem for a semilinear wave equation on a bounded domain and solutions are required to vanish on the boundary of this domain. The essential feature of the situation considered here is that the ellipticity of the sp ...

Instability and trajectories of buoyancy-driven annular disks: A numerical study

François Gallaire, Pier Giuseppe Ledda

We investigate the stability of the steady vertical path and the emerging trajectories of a buoyancy -driven annular disk as the diameter of its central hole is varied. The steady and axisymmetric wake associated with the steady vertical path of the disk, ...

The Strong Integral Input-to-State Stability Property in Dynamical Flow Networks

Nils Gustav Nilsson

Dynamical flow networks serve as macroscopic models for, e.g., transportation networks, queuing networks, and distribution networks. While the flow dynamics in such networks follow the conservation of mass on the links, the outflow from each link is often ...
