Stabilization is still a somewhat controversial issue concerning its very existence and also the precise conditions for its occurrence. The key quantity to settle these questions is the ionization probability, for which hitherto no…
A fractional generalization of variations is used to define a stability of non-integer order. Fractional variational derivatives are suggested to describe the properties of dynamical systems at fractional perturbations. We formulate…

Relative fluctuations of observables in discrete stochastic systems are bounded at all times by the mean dynamical activity in the system, quantified by the mean number of jumps. This constitutes a kinetic uncertainty relation that is…
