We consider an explicit self-similar solution to an energy-supercritical Yang-Mills equation and prove its mode stability. Based on earlier work by one of the authors, we obtain a fully rigorous proof of the nonlinear stability of the self-similar blowup profile. This is a large-data result for a supercritical wave equation. Our method is broadly applicable and provides a general approach to stability problems related to self-similar solutions of nonlinear wave equations.
We prove asymptotic stability of trapped solitons in the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a potential in dimension 1 and for even potential and even initial conditions.
We consider the stability problem for standing waves of nonlinear Dirac models. Under a suitable definition of linear stability, and under some restriction on the spectrum, we prove at the same time orbital and asymptotic stability. We are not able to get the full result proved by Cuccagna for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, because of the strong indefiniteness of the energy.
We consider asymptotic stability of a small solitary wave to supercritical 2-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equations $$ iu_t+Δu=Vu\pm |u|^{p-1}u \quad\text{for $(x,t)\in\mathbb{R}^2\times\mathbb{R}$,}$$ in the energy class.
We prove Strichartz estimates in similarity coordinates for the radial wave equation with a self similar potential in dimensions $d\geq 3$. As an application of these, we establish the asymptotic stability of the ODE blowup profile of the energy critical radial nonlinear wave equation for $3\leq d\leq 6$.
We study the orbital stability and instability of single-spike bound states of semiclassical nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equations with critical exponent, linear and nonlinear optical lattices (OLs). These equations may model two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates in linear and nonlinear OLs. When linear OLs are switched off, we derive the asymptotic expansion formulas and obtain necessary conditions for the orbital stability and instability of single-spike bound states, respectively. When linear OLs are turned on, we consider three different conditions of linear and nonlinear OLs to develo…
We prove nonlinear stability of the fundamental self--similar solution of the wave equation with a focusing power nonlinearity $ψ_{tt}-Δψ=ψ^p$ for $p=3,5,7,...$ in the radial case. The proof is based on a semigroup formulation of the wave equation in similarity coordinates.
We investigate the formation of a plasma boundary layer (sheath) by considering the Vlasov--Poisson system on a half-line with the completely absorbing boundary condition. In an earlier paper by the first two authors, the solvability of the stationary problem is studied. In this paper, we study the nonlinear stability and instability of these stationary solutions of the Vlasov--Poisson system.
In this paper we give a simple and short proof of asymptotic stability of soliton for discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation near anti-continuous limit. Our novel insight is that the analysis of linearized operator, usually non-symmetric, can be reduced to a study of simple self-adjoint operator almost like the free discrete Laplacian restricted on odd functions.
In this paper, we study the long time behavior of nonlinear quantum walks when the initial data is small in $l^2$. In particular, we study the case where the linear part of the quantum walk evolution operator has exactly two eigenvalues and show that the solution decomposed into nonlinear bound states bifurcating from the eigenvalues and scattering waves.
A mathematical proof for the stability of mKdV breathers is announced. This proof involves the existence of a nonlinear equation satisfied by all breather profiles, and a new Lyapunov functional which controls the dynamics of small perturbations and instability modes. In order to construct such a functional, we work in a subspace of the energy one. However, our proof introduces new ideas in order to attack the corresponding stability problem in the energy space. Some remarks about the sine-Gordon case are also considered.
The long-time asymptotics is analyzed for finite energy solutions of the 1D Schrödinger equation coupled to a nonlinear oscillator; mathematically the system under study is a nonlinear Schrödinger equation, whose nonlinear term includes a Dirac delta. The coupled system is invariant with respect to the phase rotation group U(1). This article, which extends the results of a previous one, provides a proof of asymptotic stability of solitary wave solutions in the case that the linearization contains a single discrete oscillatory mode satisfying a non-degeneracy assumption of the type known as the…
We consider the time-dependent non linear Schrodinger equations with a double well potential in dimensions d =1 and d=2. We prove, in the semiclassical limit, that the finite dimensional eigenspace associated to the lowest two eigenvalues of the linear operator is almost invariant for any time.
We consider a class of nonlinear Schroedinger equation in three space dimensions with an attractive potential. The nonlinearity is local but rather general encompassing for the first time both subcritical and supercritical (in $L^2$) nonlinearities. We study the asymptotic stability of the nonlinear bound states, i.e. periodic in time localized in space solutions. Our result shows that all solutions with small initial data, converge to a nonlinear bound state. Therefore, the nonlinear bound states are asymptotically stable. The proof hinges on dispersive estimates that we obtain for the time d…
In this paper, we provide a new proof of nonlinear stability of the slowly-rotating Kerr-de Sitter family of black holes as a family of solutions to the Einstein vacuum equations with cosmological constant $Λ>0$, originally established by Hintz and Vasy in their seminal work [arXiv:1606.04014]. Using the linear theory developed in an upcoming companion paper, we prove the nonlinear stability of slowly-rotating Kerr-de Sitter using a bootstrap argument, avoiding the need for a Nash-Moser argument, and requiring initial data small only in the $H^6$ norm.
We extend the notion of orbital stability to systems of nonlinear Schrodinger equations, then we prove this property under suitable assumptions of the local nonlinearity involved.
We give short survey on the question of asymptotic stability of ground states of nonlinear Schrödinger equations, focusing primarily on the so called nonlinear Fermi Golden Rule.
The present paper is devoted to the study of the global solution and nonlinear stability to the coupled complex Ginzburg Landau and Burgers equations for sequential flames
In this paper, we prove nonlinear orbital stability for steady vortex patches that maximize the kinetic energy among isovortical rearrangements in a planar bounded domain. As a result, nonlinear stability for an isolated vortex patch is proved. The proof is based on conservation of energy and vorticity, which is an analogue of the classical Liapunov function method.
We present a new stability result for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear parabolic equations which allows to pass to the limit when one has only weak convergence in time of the nonlinearities.
In this paper we study, in dimension two, the stability of the solutions of some nonlinear elliptic equations with Neumann boundary conditions, under perturbations of the domains in the Hausdorff complementary topology.
In this paper, we prove the exponential stability of the solution of the nonlinear dissipative Schrödinger equation on a star-shaped network and where the damping is localized on one branch and at the infinity.
In this paper, we solve a long-standing open problem: nonlinear stability of current-vortex sheet in the ideal incompressible Magneto-Hydrodynamics under the linear stability condition. This result gives a first rigorous confirmation of the stabilizing effect of the magnetic field on Kelvin-Helmholtz instability.
In this paper, extending previous results of \cite{J1}, we obtain pointwise nonlinear stability of periodic traveling reaction-diffusion waves, assuming spectral linearized stability, under nonlocalized perturbations. More precisely, we establish pointwise estimate of nonlocalized modulational perturbation under a small initial perturbation consisting of a nonlocalized modulation plus a localized perturbation decaying algebraically.
We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger 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 notions of orbital stability in the context of nonlinear Schrödinger equations, and show that they must be considered as independent from each other. We investigate numerically the notion of orbital stability of ground states in the radially symmetric case, confirming existing conjectures or leading to new ones.
In this paper, we obtain some stability results of (abstract) dissipative evolution equations with a nonautonomous and nonlinear damping using the exponential stability of the retrograde problem with a linear and autonomous feedback and a comparison principle. We then illustrate our abstract statements for different concrete examples, where new results are achieved. In a preliminary step, we prove some well-posedness results for some nonlinear and nonautonomous evolution equations.
In this note we study analytically and numerically the existence and stability of standing waves for one dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equations whose nonlinearities are the sum of three powers. Special attention is paid to the curves of non-existence and curves of stability change on the parameter planes.
We consider a derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a general nonlinearity. This equation has a two parameter family of solitary wave solutions. We prove orbital stability/instability results that depend on the strength of the nonlinearity and, in some instances, their velocity. We illustrate these results with numerical simulations.
We investigate the stability of ground states to a nonlinear focusing Schrödinger equation in presence of a Kirchhoff term. Through a spectral analysis of the linearized operator about ground states, we show a modulation stability estimate of ground states in the spirit of one due to Weinstein [{\it SIAM J. Math. Anal.}, 16(1985),472-491].
This article explores the questions of long time orbital stability in high order Sobolev norms of plane wave solutions to the NLSE in the defocusing case.
We establish the local input-to-state stability of a large class of disturbed nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations w.r.t. the global attractor of the respective undisturbed system.
In this paper, for evolutionary Faddeev model corresponding to maps from the Minkowski space $\mathbb{R}^{1+n}$ to the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$, we show the global nonlinear stability of geodesic solutions, which are a kind of nontrivial and large solutions.
We show global well-posedness and exponential stability of equilibria for a general class of nonlinear dissipative bulk-interface systems. They correspond to thermodynamically consistent gradient structure models of bulk-interface interaction. The setting includes nonlinear slow and fast diffusion in the bulk and nonlinear coupled diffusion on the interface. Additional driving mechanisms can be included and non-smooth geometries and coefficients are admissible, to some extent. An important application are volume-surface reaction-diffusion systems with nonlinear coupled diffusion.
In this paper we study well-posedness and asymptotic stability for a class of nonlinear second-order evolution equations with intermittent delay damping. More precisely, a delay feedback and an undelayed one act alternately in time. We show that, under suitable conditions on the feedback operators, asymptotic stability results are available. Concrete examples included in our setting are illustrated. We give also stability results for an abstract model with alternate positive-negative damping, without delay.
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 generic type, removing a restrictive assumption that wave speed be constant to first order along the manifold of nearby periodic solutions.
This paper is devoted to the study of nonlinear stability of steady incompressible Euler flows in two dimensions. We prove that a steady Euler flow is nonlinearly stable in $L^p$ norm of the vorticity if its stream function is a semistable solution of some semilinear elliptic problem with strictly increasing nonlinearity. The idea of the proof is to show that such a flow has strict local maximum energy among flows whose vorticities are rearrangements of a given function, with the help of an improvement version of Wolansky and Ghil's stability theorem. The result can be regarded as an extension…
We consider the problem of recovering a nonlinear potential function in a nonlinear Schrödinger equation on transversally anisotropic manifolds from the linearized Dirichlet-to-Neumann map at a large wavenumber. By calibrating the complex geometric optics (CGO) solutions according to the wavenumber, we prove the increasing stability of recovering the coefficient of a cubic term as the wavenumber becomes large.
The nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equation with derivative cubic nonlinearity admits a family of solitons, which are orbitally stable in the energy space. In this work, we prove the orbital stability of multi-solitons configurations in the energy space, under suitable assumptions on the speeds and frequencies of the composing solitons. The main ingredients of the proof are modulation theory, energy coercivity and monotonicity properties.
Considered in this report is the one-dimensional fourth-order dispersive cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with mixed dispersion. Orbital stability, in the energy space, of a particular standing-wave solution is proved in the context of Hamiltonian systems. The main result is established by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function.
We study the existence and stability of periodic traveling-wave solutions for the quadratic and cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equations in one space dimension.
In the present paper, we study observer design and we establish some sufficient conditions for practical exponential stability for a class of time-delay nonlinear systems written in triangular form. In case of delay, the exponential convergence of the observer was confirmed. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, the practical stability of the proposed observer is achieved. Finally, a physical model and simulation findings show the feasibility of the suggested strategy.
We prove stability results for nonlinear diffusion equations of the porous medium and fast diffusion types with respect to the nonlinearity power $m$: solutions with fixed data converge in a suitable sense to the solution of the limit problem with the same data as $m$ varies. Our arguments are elementary and based on a general principle. We use neither regularity theory nor nonlinear semigroups, and our approach applies to e.g. Dirichlet problems in bounded domains and Cauchy problems on the whole space.
This paper is concerned with the stability analysis of a lossless Euler-Bernoulli beam that carries a tip payload which is coupled to a nonlinear dynamic feedback system. This setup comprises nonlinear dynamic boundary controllers satisfying the nonlinear KYP lemma as well as the interaction with a nonlinear passive environment. Global-in-time wellposedness and asymptotic stability is rigorously proven for the resulting closed-loop PDE-ODE system. The analysis is based on semigroup theory for the corresponding first order evolution problem. For the large-time analysis, precompactness of the tr…
In this paper we present some recent results concerning the ex- istence, the stability and the dynamics of solitons occurring in the nonlinear Schroedinger equation when the parameter h -> 0. We focus on the role played by the Energy and the Charge in the existence, the stability and the dynamics of solitons. Moreover, we show that, under suitable assumptions, the soliton approximately follows the dynamics of a point particle.
For a nonlinear Schrödinger system with mass critical exponent, we prove the existence and orbital stability of standing-wave solutions obtained as minimizers of the underlying energy functional restricted to a double mass constraint. In addition, we discuss the concentration of a sequence of minimizers as their masses approach to certain critical masses.
By a refinement of the technique used by Johnson and Zumbrun to show stability under localized perturbations, we show that spectral stability implies nonlinear modulational stability of periodic traveling-wave solutions of reaction diffusion systems under small perturbations consisting of a nonlocalized modulation plus a localized perturbation. The main new ingredient is a detailed analysis of linear behavior under modulational data $\bar u'(x)h_0(x)$, where $\bar u$ is the background profile and $h_0$ is the initial modulation
The goal of this work is to determine classes of traveling Solitary wave solutions for a differential approximation of a finite difference scheme by means of a hyperbolic ansatz.
We study the nonlinear stability of a large class of inhomogeneous steady state solutions to the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model. Under a simple criterion, we prove the nonlinear stability of steady states which are decreasing functions of the microscopic energy. To achieve this task, we extend to this context the strategy based on generalized rearrangement techniques which was developed recently for the gravitational Vlasov-Poisson equation. Explicit stability inequalities are established and our analysis is able to treat non compactly supported steady states to HMF, which are physically r…
We prove the existence of a smooth curve of periodic traveling wave solutions for the Zakharov system. We also show that this type of solutions are nonlinear stable by the periodic flow generated for the system mentioned before. An improvement of the work of Ya Ping is made, we prove the stability of the solitary wave solutions associated to the Zakharov system.
We consider the Cauchy-problem for the following parabolic equation: \begin{equation*} \displaystyle u_t = Δu+ f(u,|x|), \end{equation*} where $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$, $n >2$, and $f=f(u,|x|)$ is either critical or supercritical with respect to the Joseph-Lundgren exponent. Using a new unifying approach we extend to a larger class of nonlinear potentials $f$, some known results concerning stability and weak asymptotic stability of positive Ground States.
In this paper, we consider nonlinear thermoelastic systems of Timoshenko type in a one-dimensional bounded domain. The system has two dissipative mechanisms being present in the equation for transverse displacement and rotation angle - a frictional damping and a dissipation through hyperbolic heat conduction modelled by Cattaneo's law, respectively. The global existence of small, smooth solutions and the exponential stability in linear and nonlinear cases are established.
