NUMERICAL ALGORITHMS
2013
For many systems of differential equations modeling problems in science and engineering, there are natural splittings of the right hand side into two parts, one non-stiff or mildly stiff, and the other one stiff. For such systems implicit-explicit (IMEX) integration combines an explicit scheme for the non-stiff part with an implicit scheme for the stiff part. In a recent series of papers two of the authors (Sandu and Zhang) have developed IMEX GLMs, a family of implicit-explicit schemes based on general linear methods. It has been shown that, due to their high stage order, IMEX GLMs require no additional coupling order conditions, and are not marred by order reduction. This work develops a …
On the thermal instability in a horizontal rectangular porous channel heated from below by a constant flux
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Journal of Physics: Conference Series. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/501/1/012003 Open Access The onset of thermoconvective instability in a rectangular horizontal channel filled with a fluid-saturated porous medium is studied. The channel is heated from below with a constant flux. The top wall is maintained at a uniform constant temperature, while the lateral boundaries are permeable and perfectly conducting. The stability of the basic motionless state is analysed with respect to small-amplitude disturbances. The eigenvalue problem for the neutral stability condition is solved analytically for the n…
Labyrinthine instability of miscible magnetic fluids
2002
Abstract We consider an inhomogeneous magnetic fluid (MF), modeling a miscible MF pair, in a Hele–Shaw cell under a normal field. A linear stability analysis for the sharp straight interface (analytically) and for the diffused one (numerically) is performed. For the former case, the neutral curves and the stability diagram are found along with the critical wavelength and parameter values. Oscillatory or monotonous instabilities are shown to occur. For the diffused interface, we recognize the importance of 2D flow viscous effects along with the conventional wall friction and observe that in strong fields the dominant wavelength scales as the cell gap.
Generalization of the Lorenz-Haken model to atomic systems with different relaxation rates for the two laser levels
1995
Abstract The fundamental Lorenz-Haken laser model is generalized to the case of a two-level amplifying medium with different external relaxation rates for the two levels and with internal relaxation. This represents one further degree of freedom, and important quantitative differences in the laser dynamics. i.e., in the stationary solutions, linear stability analysis, and timedependent solutions, are found. No significant qualitative differences, however, are observed.
Influence of Internal Energy on the Stability of Relativistic Flows
2003
A set of simulations concerning the influence of internal energy on the stability of relativistic jets is presented. Results show that perturbations saturate when the amplitude of the velocity perturbation approaches the speed of light limit. Also, contrary to what predicted by linear stability theory, jets with higher specific internal energy appear to be more stable.
Modulation instability scenario in negative index materials
2010
We present an investigation of the critical frequency windows permitting modulation instability in negative index materials. The principal motivation for our analysis stems from the impact of the inevitable presence of the effective dispersive magnetic permeability in addition to the effective dielectric permittivity determining the propagation model for ultrashort pulses in negative index materials. We emphasize the influence of nonlinear dispersion terms, arising out of the combinatorial effect of the dispersive permeability with the nonlinear polarization, over the MI phenomena, the outcome of its development achieved by using linear stability analysis. Gain spectrum investigation has be…
AQM generalized nyquist stability in multiple bottleneck networks
2005
Abstract The influence of multiple bottlenecks on the stability of Active Queue Management (AQM) controllers, usually configured on a single bottleneck basis is discussed. We consider a network scenario where RED is configured at each router according to previously developed control theoretic techniques. These configuration rules assure stability in a single bottleneck scenario. We show that instability may arise when two links become congested. We justify this result through a multiple bottleneck model using the Generalized Nyquist stability criterion.
About the Stability of Active Queue Management Mechanism
2004
In this paper, we discuss the influence of multiple bottlenecks on the stability of Active Queue Management (AQM) controllers, usually configured on a single bottleneck basis. To see this, we consider a network scenario where RED is configured at each router according to previously developed control theoretic techniques. These configuration rules assure stability in a single bottleneck scenario. Yet, we show that instability may arise when two links become congested. We justify this result through a multiple bottleneck model.

From deterministic cellular automata to coupled map lattices
2016
A general mathematical method is presented for the systematic construction of coupled map lattices (CMLs) out of deterministic cellular automata (CAs). The entire CA rule space is addressed by means of a universal map for CAs that we have recently derived and that is not dependent on any freely adjustable parameters. The CMLs thus constructed are termed real-valued deterministic cellular automata (RDCA) and encompass all deterministic CAs in rule space in the asymptotic limit $\kappa \to 0$ of a continuous parameter $\kappa$. Thus, RDCAs generalize CAs in such a way that they constitute CMLs when $\kappa$ is finite and nonvanishing. In the limit $\kappa \to \infty$ all RDCAs are shown to ex…
