The dynamics of many important high-dimensional dynamical systems are both chaotic and complex, meaning that strong reducing hypotheses are required to understand the dynamics. The highly influential chaotic hypothesis of Gallavotti and…
Non-equilibrium steady states are subject to intense investigations but still poorly understood. For instance, the derivation of Fourier law in Hamiltonian systems is a problem that still poses several obstacles. In order to investigate…
We study the structure of quasiperiodic Lorentz gases, i.e., particles bouncing elastically off fixed obstacles arranged in quasiperiodic lattices. By employing a construction to embed such structures into a higher dimensional periodic…
We establish a nonlinear instability of the Euler-Poisson system for polytropic gases whose adiabatic exponents take value in $6/5<\gamma<4/3$ around the Lane-Emden equilibrium star configurations.
We consider transport in two billiard models, the infinite horizon Lorentz gas and the stadium channel, presenting analytical results for the spreading packet of particles. We first obtain the cumulative distribution function of traveling…

Nonequilibrium collective motion is ubiquitous in nature and often results in a rich collection of intringuing phenomena, such as the formation of shocks or patterns, subdiffusive kinetics, traffic jams, and nonequilibrium phase…
We present a novel mechanism for thermalizing a system of particles in equilibrium and nonequilibrium situations, based on specifically modeling energy transfer at the boundaries via a microscopic collision process. We apply our method to…
We investigate analytically and numerically the spatial structure of the non-equilibrium stationary states (NESS) of a point particle moving in a two dimensional periodic Lorentz gas (Sinai Billiard). The particle is subject to a constant…
We examine the transport behaviour of non-interacting particles in a simple channel billiard, at equilibrium and in the presence of an external field. The channel walls are constructed from straight line-segments. We observe a sensitive…
We show that a parametrically driven cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation exhibits a hysteretic nonequilibrium Ising-Bloch transition for large enough quintic nonlinearity. These results help to understand the recent experimental…
We consider a physical Ehrenfests' Wind-Tree model where a moving particle is a hard ball rather than (mathematical) point particle. We demonstrate that a physical periodic Wind-Tree model is dynamically richer than a physical or…
We study numerically and analytically the properties of the stationary state of a particle moving under the influence of an electric field $\bE$ in a two dimensional periodic Lorentz gas with the energy kept constant by a Gaussian…
Nonequilibrium steady states in an open system connecting two reservoirs of platelike colloidal particles are investigated by means of a recently proposed phenomenological dynamic density functional theory [M. Bier and R. van Roij, Phys.…
We calculate the spectrum of Lyapunov exponents for a point particle moving in a random array of fixed hard disk or hard sphere scatterers, i.e. the disordered Lorentz gas, in a generic nonequilibrium situation. In a large system which is…
We present a computational analysis of a 2$\times$2 hyperbolic system of balance laws whose solutions exhibit complex nonlinear behavior. Traveling-wave solutions of the system are shown to undergo a series of bifurcations as a parameter in…
Nonequilibrium equations of state can provide an effective thermodynamic-like description of far-from-equilibrium systems. We experimentally construct such an equation for a direct energy cascade in a turbulent two-dimensional Bose gas. Our…
We investigate ergodicity, chaos and thermalization for a one-dimensional classical gas of hard rods confined to an external quadratic or quartic trap, which breaks microscopic integrability. To quantify the strength of chaos in this…
We investigate in this article the long-time behaviour of the solutions to the energy-dependant, spatially-homogeneous, inelastic Boltzmann equation for hard spheres. This model describes a diluted gas composed of hard spheres under…
We describe some recent results on the dynamics of singular-hyperbolic (or Lorenz-like) attractors: attractors in this class are expansive and so sensitive with respect to initial data; they admit a unique physical measure whose support is…
