This paper has been inspired by ideas presented by V. V. Kozlov in his works [19, 20]. In this paper our goal is to carry out a thorough analysis of some geometric problems of the dynamics of affinely-rigid bodies. We present two ways to…
We investigate projections to odometers (group rotations over adic groups) of topological invertible dynamical systems with discrete time and compact Hausdorff phase space. For a dynamical system $(X, f)$ with a compact phase space we…
We consider the motion of a harmonically trapped overdamped particle, which is submitted to a self-phoretic force, that is proportional to the gradient of a diffusive field for which the particle itself is the source. In agreement with…
In this paper, we consider three-dimensional dynamical systems, as for example the Lorenz model. For these systems, we introduce a method for obtaining families of two-dimensional surfaces such that trajectories cross each surface of the…
We formulate and apply a continuum model that incorporates elasticity, yield stress, plasticity and viscous drag. It is motivated by the two-dimensional foam rheology experiments of Debregeas et al. [G. Debregeas, H. Tabuteau, and J.-M. di…
We analyze the frictionless motion of a point-like particle that slides under gravity on an inverted conical surface. This motion is studied for arbitrary initial conditions and a general relation, valid within 13%, between the periods of…
Two-dimensional systems may admit a hexatic phase and hexatic-liquid transitions of different natures. The determination of their phase diagrams proved challenging, and indeed those of hard-disks, hard regular polygons, and inverse…
This article gives a short description of pattern formation and coarsening phenomena and focuses on recent experimental and theoretical advances in these fields. It serves as an introduction to phase ordering kinetics and it will appear in…
The goal of this book is to provide an introduction to the mathematical theory of Kinetically constrained models developed in the last twenty years, intended for both mathematicians and physicists.
We provide a detailed multiscale analysis of a system of particles interacting through a dynamical network of links. Starting from a microscopic model, via the mean field limit, we formally derive coupled kinetic equations for the particle…
We introduce the notions of $\mathbb{K}$-framings, based $\mathbb{K}$-framings and relative $\mathbb{K}$-framings of a compact connected oriented surface $\Sigma$ for any commutative ring $\mathbb{K}$ with unit, and a map which maps a based…
In this paper, we study the determination of Hamiltonian from a given equations of motion. It can be cast into a problem of matrix factorization after reinterpretation of the system as first-order evolutionary equations in the phase space…
The space of parametric b-measures endowed with appropriate topologies is introduced to define a new class of generalized ODEs given by parametric b-measures. This framework offers a new approach for dealing with precompact families of…
An extension of the Burton-Cabrera-Frank model [Phil. Trans. R. Soc. London, Ser. A 243, 299 (1951)] including diffusion along steps and entropic step-step interaction is introduced. This extended model is successfully applied to simulate…
In this work we adopt the point of view that the equations of motion satisfied by a field are just a consequence of the representation space which the field belongs to, and the discrete symmetries we impose on it. We illustrate this view…
We develop an isotopy principle for holomorphic motions. Our main result concerns the extendability of a holomorphic motion of a finite subset $E$ of a Riemann surface $Y$ parameterized by a point $t$ in a pointed hyperbolic surface $(X,…
In the 1960s and 1970s a large part of the theory of dynamical systems concerned the case of uniformly hyperbolic or Axiom A dynamical system and abstract ergodic theory of smooth dynamical systems. However since around 1980 an emphasize…
The kinematics on spatially flat FLRW space-times is presented for the first time in co-moving local charts with physical coordinates, i. e. the cosmic time and Painlev\' e-type Cartesian space coordinates. It is shown that there exists a…
The book contains the results obtained by the author in 1975-1982 and presents new constructive methods of the topological analysis of integrable systems having non-linear integrals in involution. The phase topology of the classical…
The generalized Floquet exponent and the attractiveness portrait (or A-portrait for short) of the attractor and of the smallest invariant closed set are suggested to be used for the study of dynamical systems. Based on the A-portrait, some…
