<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Although the nuclear fusion process has received a great deal of attention in recent years, the amount of mathematical analysis that supports the stability of the system seems to be relatively insufficient. This paper deals with the mathematical analysis of the magnetic confinement of the plasma via kinetic equations. We prove the global wellposedness of the <i>Vlasov-Maxwell</i> system in a two-dimensional annulus when a huge (<i>but finite-in-time</i>) external magnetic potential is imposed near the boundary. We assume that the solution is axisymmetric. The authors hope that this work is a step towards a more generalized work on the three-dimensional Tokamak structure. The highlight of this work is the physical assumptions on the external magnetic potential well which remains finite <i>within a finite time interval</i> and from that, we prove that the plasma never touches the boundary. In addition, we provide a sufficient condition on the magnitude of the external magnetic potential to guarantee that the plasma is confined in an annulus of the desired thickness which is slightly larger than the initial support. Our method uses the cylindrical coordinate forms of the <i>Vlasov-Maxwell</i> system.</p>

We investigate the dynamics of an ion confined in a Paul–trap supplied by a fractional periodic impulsional potential. The Cantor–type cylindrical coordinate method is a powerful tool to convert differential equations on Cantor sets from cantorian–coordinate systems to Cantor–type cylindrical coordinate systems. By applying this method to the classical Laplace equation, a fractional Laplace equation in the Cantor–type cylindrical coordinate is obtained. The fractional Laplace equation is solved in the Cantor–type cylindrical coordinate, then the ions is modelled and studied for confined ions inside a Paul–trap characterized by a fractional potential. In addition, the effect of the fractional parameter on the stability regions, ion trajectories, phase space, maximum trapping voltage, spacing between two signals and fractional resolution is investigated and discussed.

In this Letter, we study the stability of differential equations with time-dependent delay. Several theorems are established for stability on a finite time interval, called "interval stability" for simplicity, and Liapunov stability. These theorems are applied to the generalized Gauss-type predator–prey models, and satisfactory results are obtained.

Abstract This paper presents the new results of computing the inclusions of sets of solutions of ordinary differential equations corresponding to perturbations acting on the solutions of the system. The regularization of algorithms for the inclusion of solutions is investigated. Inclusions of solutions are used to study the stability over a finite time interval under perturbations of the system parameters. The boundaries of solutions sets using methods that construct symbolic formulas that characterize the behavior of the system are computed. In this case, the Influence of permanent disturbances on the solutions is taken into account. It is proposed to use the parameters of the vector field of the problem in order to compensate for a strong growth of the computable solution boundaries, which is often encountered in many methods. This means the regularization of the problem of estimating inclusions of solution sets.

Abstract The Taylor-Couette flow between two rotating coaxial cylinders remains an ideal tool for understanding the mechanism of the transition from laminar to turbulent regime in rotating flow for the scientific community. We present for different Taylor numbers a set of three-dimensional numerical investigations of the stability and transition from Couette flow to Taylor vortex regime of a viscous incompressible fluid (liquid sodium) between two concentric cylinders with the inner one rotating and the outer one at rest. We seek the onset of the first instability and we compare the obtained results for different velocity rates. We calculate the corresponding Taylor number in order to show its effect on flow patterns and pressure field.
