On expansions for nonlinear systems Error estimates and convergence issues by Beauchard, Karine, Le Borgne, Jérémy, Marbach, Frédéric

“…Nevertheless, we also exhibit arbitrarily small analytic vector fields for which the convergence of the Magnus expansion fails, even in very weak senses. We state an open problem concerning the convergence of Sussmann’s infinite product expansion.Eventually, we derive approximate direct intrinsic representations for the state and discuss their link with the choice of an appropriate change of coordinates.…”

X-Ray/Radio Quasiperiodic Pulsations Associated with Plasmoids in Solar Flare Current Sheets by Pankaj Kumar, Judith T. Karpen, Joel T. Dahlin

“…These plasmoids propagate bidirectionally upward and downward along the flare current sheet beneath the erupting flux rope during two successive flares associated with confined/failed eruptions. The flux rope exhibits evidence of helical kink instability, with the formation and ejection of multiple plasmoids in the flare current sheet, as predicted in an MHD simulation of a kink-unstable flux rope. …”
