The stability to small inviscid disturbances of a rotating flow, whose velocity components in cylindrical polars (r, 0, z) are (0, V(r), 0), is investigated when one boundary of the flow (r = b) is a free surface under the action of surface tension (γ), and the other is either at infinity, or a rigid cylinder (r = a ≠ b), or at the axis (r = 0). The free surface may be the inner or the outer boundary. A necessary and sufficient condition for stability to axisymmetric disturbances is derived, which requires that Rayleigh's criterion of increasing circulation be satisfied, and otherwise depends only on b, V(b), γ and the density of the swirling liquid. This condition may be extended to include non-axisymmetric disturbances when V ∝ 1/r and when V ∝ r although in the latter case it is no longer a necessary one. It is shown that, in the case V ∝ r, as well as V ∝ 1/r, the ‘most unstable’ disturbance on a rotating column of fluid will be non-axisymmetric if the rotation speed at the surface is sufficiently great. Several applications of the theory are suggested, and a possible experiment to test it is described.

We prove that the classes of languages accepted by systolic automata over t-ary trees (t-STA) are always either equal or incomparable if one varies t. We introduce systolic tree automata with base (T(b)-STA), a subclass of STA with interesting properties of modularity, and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the equivalence between a T(b)-STA and a t-STA, for a given base b. Finally, we show that the stability problem for T(b)-ST A is decidible.

This paper investigates the dynamical behaviors of a duopoly model with two content providers (CPs). Competition between two CPs is assumed to take place in terms of their pricing decisions and the credibility of content they offer. According to the CPs’ rationality level, we consider a scenario where both CPs are bounded rational. Each CP in any period uses the marginal profit observed from the previous period to choose its strategies. We compute explicitly the steady states of the dynamical system induced by bounded rationality, and establish a necessary and sufficient condition for stability of its Nash equilibrium (NE). Numerical simulations show that if some parameters of the model are varied, the stability of the NE point is lost and the complex (periodic or chaotic) behavior occurs. The chaotic behavior of the system is stabilized on the NE point by applying control.

Considered in this paper is the robust stability of a class of systems in which a relevant characteristic equation is a family of polynomials F: f(s, q) = a0(q) + a1(q)s + … + an(q)sn with its coefficients ai(q) depending linearly on q unknown-but-bounded parameters, q = (p1, p2, …, pq)T. It is known that a necessary and sufficient condition for determining the stability of such a family of polynomials is that polynomials at all the exposed edges of the polytope of F in the coefficient space be stable (the edge theorem of Bartlett et al., 1988). The geometric structure of such a family of polynomials is investigated and an approach is given, by which the number of edges of the polytope that need to be checked for stability can be reduced considerably. An example is included to illustrate the benefit of this geometric interpretation.

This paper studies the stability of a class of neutral delay integrodifferential system. A necessary and sufficient condition of stability for its analytic solutions is considered. The improvedθ-methods are developed. Some numerical stability properties are obtained and numerical experiments are given.

We investigate the stability of travelling wave solutions of the one-dimensional under-cooled Stefan problem. We find a necessary and sufficient condition on the initial datum under which the free boundary is asymptotic to a travelling wave front. The method applies also to other types of solutions.
