Global in Time Stability of Steady Shocks in Nozzles

Jeffrey Rauch, Chunjing Xie, Zhouping Xin (2011-2012)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

Similarity:

We prove global dynamical stability of steady transonic shock solutions in divergent quasi-one-dimensional nozzles. One of the key improvements compared with previous results is that we assume neither the smallness of the slope of the nozzle nor the weakness of the shock strength. A key ingredient of the proof are the derivation a exponentially decaying energy estimates for a linearized problem.

Bifurcations in a modulation equation for alternans in a cardiac fiber

Shu Dai, David G. Schaeffer (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

While alternans in a single cardiac cell appears through a simple period-doubling bifurcation, in extended tissue the exact nature of the bifurcation is unclear. In particular, the phase of alternans can exhibit wave-like spatial dependence, either stationary or travelling, which is known as alternans. We study these phenomena in simple cardiac models through a modulation equation proposed by Echebarria-Karma. As shown in our previous paper, the zero solution of their equation may...
