It is well know that for globally contractive autonomous systems, there exists a unique equilibrium and the distance to the equilibrium evaluated along any trajectory decreases exponentially with time. We show that, additionally, the…
We give a constructive, metastable formulation of a theorem about the exchange of limits for convergent sequence $L^1$ functions. A crucial tool is a one-dimensional version of Szemeredi's regularity lemma for $L^1$ functions.
The Leibniz rule for fractional Riemann-Liouville derivative is studied in algebra of functions defined by Laplace convolution. This algebra and the derived Leibniz rule are used in construction of explicit form of stationary-conserved…
We study an integro-differential equation that describes the slow erosion of granular flow. The equation is a first order non-linear conservation law where the flux function includes an integral term. We show that there exist unique…

We compute the quasi-potential and determine minimizing paths for an action functional related to scalar conservation laws on an interval with boundary conditions in the sense of Bardos et al. (1979). Taking as input an exclusion-like flux…
Dynamics near and far away from thermal equilibrium is studied within the framework of Langevin equations. A stochasticity-dissipation relation is proposed to emphasize the equal importance of the stochastic and deterministic forces in…
Dissipative Lagrangians and Hamiltonians having Coulomb, viscous and quadratic damping,together with gravitational and elastic terms are presented for a formalism that preserves the Hamiltonian as a constant of the motion. Their derivations…
For a system of correlated electrons, the Luttinger-Ward functional provides a link between static thermodynamic quantities on the one hand and single-particle excitations on the other. The functional is useful to derive several general…
We study the stability of a vector field associated to a nearly-integrable Hamiltonian dynamical system to which a dissipation is added. Such a system is governed by two parameters, named the perturbing and dissipative parameters, and it…
In this paper we define a new space, $LH(X,Y)$, consisting of functions $f\in X \subset Y$ (with $X,Y$ normed spaces) such that $\| f \|_X \equiv \| f \|_Y$ (where $\| \cdot \|_X$ is any norm on $X$, in general not the norm induced by $\|…
In this paper, we study the construction of Lyapunov functions based on first order approximations. In a first part, the study of local exponential stability property of a transverse invariant manifold is considered. This part is mainly a…
Benjamini, Kalai and Schramm showed that a monotone function $f : \{-1,1\}^n \to \{-1,1\}$ is noise stable if and only if it is correlated with a half-space (a set of the form $\{x: \langle x, a\rangle \le b\}$). We study noise stability in…
We present a way to construct Parseval frames of piecewise constant functions for $L^2[0,1]$. The construction is similar to the generalized Walsh bases. It is based on iteration of operators that satisfy a Cuntz-type relation, but without…
This paper considers linear functional equations on $\mathbb R^d$ with distributed delays defined by matrix-valued measures of bounded variation. More precisely, we are interested in providing conditions to ensure that the exponential…
We construct a H\"older continuous function on the unit interval which coincides in uncountably (in fact continuum) many points with every function of total variation smaller than 1 passing through the origin. We say that a function with…
Well known biological approximations are universal, i.e. invariant to transformations from one species to another. With no other experimental data, such invariance yields exact conservation (with respect to biological diversity and…
The backbone of nonequilibrium thermodynamics is the stability structure, where entropy is related to a Lyapunov function of thermodynamic equilibrium. Stability is the background of natural selection: unstable systems are temporary, and…
We provide a thorough study of stability of the 1-D continuity equation, which models many physical conservation laws. In our system-theoretic perspective, the velocity is considered to be an input. An additional input appears in the…
Starting from the most general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics---i.e. a thermodynamically consistent nonautonomous stochastic dynamics describing systems in contact with several reservoirs---, we define a procedure to identify the…
