Nonlinear stability of fluid and plasma equilibria

TL;DR: The Liapunov method for establishing stability has been used in a variety of fluid and plasma problems, such as MHD, multilayer quasigeostrophic flow, adiabatic flow and the Poisson-Vlasov equation.

Stability in dynamical systems

Abstract: Stability in dynamical systems subject to some law of force is considered. This leads to a set of differential equations which govern the motion. (AIP)

Geometric numerical integration illustrated by the Störmer-Verlet method

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a cross-section of the recent monograph by Newton-Stormer-Verlet-leapfrog method and its various interpretations, followed by a discussion of geometric properties: reversibility, symplecticity, volume preservation, and conservation of first integrals.
