One unusual property of dynamic systems, whose state is characterized by a set of scalar dynamic variables satisfying a system of differential equations of a general form, is considered. This property is related to the behavior of equations…
We begin development of a method for studying dynamical systems using concepts from computational complexity theory. We associate families of decision problems, called telic problems, to dynamical systems of a certain class. These decision…
We discuss selected topics of current research interest in the theory of dynamical systems, with emphasis on dimension theory, multifractal analysis, and quantitative recurrence. The topics include the quantitative versus the qualitative…
Recurrence behavior of wave packets in coupled higher dimensional systems and periodically driven systems is analyzed, which takes place in the realm of higher coupling/modulation strength. We analyze the wave packet dynamics close to…
Some basic notions and results in Topological Dynamics are extended to continuous groupoid actions in topological spaces. We focus mainly on recurrence properties. Besides results that are analogous to the classical case of group actions,…
When a dynamical system contains several different modes of oscillations it may behave in a variety of ways: If the modes oscillate at their own individual frequencies, it exhibits quasiperiodic behavior; when the modes lock to one another…
Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $f:X\rightarrow X$ be a homeomorphism on $X$. We show that if $f$ is both pointwise recurrent and expansive, then the dynamical system $(X, f)$ is topologically conjugate to a subshift of some…
Poincare's classification of the dynamics of homeomorphisms of the circle is one of the earliest, but still one of the most elegant, classification results in dynamical systems. Here we generalize this to quasiperiodically forced circle…
Biological systems rely on robust internal information processing: Survival depends on highly reproducible dynamics of regulatory processes. Biological information processing elements, however, are intrinsically noisy (genetic switches,…
Given a dynamical system, we study the so-called space of shift functions thus introducing another vision on bifurcations and chaos. As an application of the obtained results, we give a partial solution to an open problem formulated in…
For a topological dynamical system we characterize the decomposition of the state space induced by the fixed space of the corresponding Koopman operator. For this purpose, we introduce a hierarchy of generalized orbits and obtain the finest…
I discuss classical and quantum recurrence theorems in a unified manner, treating both as generalisations of the fact that a system with a finite state space only has so many places to go. Along the way I prove versions of the recurrence…
We study the lower and upper local rates of Poincare recurrence of rotations on the circle by means of symbolic dynamics. As a consequence, we show that if the lower rate of Poincare recurrence of an ergodic dynamical system (X,F,mu,T) is…
We revisit the problem of well-defining rotation numbers for discrete random dynamical systems on the circle. We show that, contrasting with deterministic systems, the topological (i.e. based on Poincar\'{e} lifts) approach does depend on…
We consider a photonic lattice of nonlinear lossy resonators subjected to a coherent drive, where the system remembers its topological phase. Initially, the system is topologically trivial. After the application of an additional coherent…
Discrete models have a long tradition in engineering, including finite state machines, Boolean networks, Petri nets, and agent-based models. Of particular importance is the question of how the model structure constrains its dynamics. This…
In the theory of renormalization for classical dynamical systems, e.g. unimodal maps and critical circle maps, topological conjugacy classes are stable manifolds of renormalization. Physically more realistic systems on the other hand may…
Using the combinatorial properties of subsets of integers, a classification of metric dynamical systems was given in [V. Bergelson and T. Downarowicz, Large sets of integers and hierarchy of mixing properties of measure-preserving systems,…
In this paper, we consider two questions about topological entropy of dynamical systems. We propose to resolve these questions by the same approach of using \'etale analogs of topological and algebraic dynamical systems. The first question…
In this paper we initiate a somewhat detailed investigation of the relationships between quantitative recurrence indicators and algorithmic complexity of orbits in weakly chaotic dynamical systems. We mainly focus on examples.
