Linear instability implies nonlinear instability for various types of viscous boundary layers

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that linear instability of Ekman boundary layers implies nonlinear instability in the L∞ norm, which describes the onset of turbulence at high enough Reynolds numbers.

The Initial Boundary Value Problem for the Boltzmann Equation with Soft Potential

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied both the diffuse reflection and the specular reflection boundary value problems for the Boltzmann equation with a soft potential, in which the collision kernel is ruled by the inverse power law.

Two-stream instabilities in plasmas

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that two streams of charged steady fluids with different constant speeds are linearly unstable in a dynamic setting and that they are indeed nonlinearly unstable.

Perturbation theory for linear operators

Tosio Kato
TL;DR: The monograph by T Kato as discussed by the authors is an excellent reference work in the theory of linear operators in Banach and Hilbert spaces and is a thoroughly worthwhile reference work both for graduate students in functional analysis as well as for researchers in perturbation, spectral, and scattering theory.

Existence and uniqueness of nonnegative eigenfunctions of the Boltzmann operator

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the initial value problem and showed that the decay constant X is an eigenvalue of the Boltzmann operator A. The exact domain of definition of A is dependent on the space of functions where A acts, and will be described in Section 2.
