Topology identification and inference of processes evolving over graphs arise in timely applications involving brain, transportation, financial, power, as well as social and information networks. This chapter provides an overview of graph…
In this article, we investigate the topological structure of large scale interacting systems on infinite graphs, by constructing a suitable cohomology which we call the uniform cohomology. The central idea for the construction is the…
In this paper, we provide an overview of the research conducted in the context of structural systems since the latest survey by Dion et al. in 2003. We systematically consider all the papers that cite this survey as well as the seminal work…
We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part (arXiv:2501.15657), we discused…
In this paper, the nilspace approach to higher-order Fourier analysis is developed in the setting of vector spaces over a prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$, with applications mainly in ergodic theory. A key requisite for this development is to…
The behaviour of many real-world phenomena can be modelled by nonlinear dynamical systems whereby a latent system state is observed through a filter. We are interested in interacting subsystems of this form, which we model by a set of…
We consider infinite measure-preserving non-primitive self-similar tiling systems in Euclidean space $\mathbb R^d$. We establish the second-order ergodic theorem for such systems, with exponent equal to the Hausdorff dimension of a…
The richness of many complex systems stems from the interactions among their components. The higher-order nature of these interactions, involving many units at once, and their temporal dynamics constitute crucial properties that shape the…
We develop a model-theoretic framework for the study of distal factors of strongly ergodic, measure-preserving dynamical systems of countable groups. Our main result is that all such factors are contained in the (existential) algebraic…
We develop a new theory of maximizing sets in dynamical systems, for the study of ergodic optimization in systems with weak hyperbolicity but where the Ma\~n\'e cohomology lemma does not hold. This leads to new solutions of the Typical…
Flexible mechanical metamaterials possess repeating structural motifs that imbue them with novel, exciting properties including programmability, anomalous elastic moduli and nonlinear and robust response. We address such structures via…
A finite dynamical system with $n$ components is a function $f:X\to X$ where $X=X_1\times\dots\times X_n$ is a product of $n$ finite intervals of integers. The structure of such a system $f$ is represented by a signed digraph $G$, called…
The integration and transmission of information in the brain are dependent on the interplay between structural and dynamical properties. Implicit in any pursuit aimed at understanding neural dynamics from appropriate sets of mathematically…
The current paper is devoted to the investigation of the influence of nested invariant cone structure on the dynamics, in the context of non-autonomous (time almost periodic)cases. We first prove that the nested invariant cone structure can…
We formulate a theory of shape valid for objects of arbitrary dimension whose contours are path connected. We apply this theory to the design and modeling of viable trajectories of complex dynamical systems. Infinite families of…
A strictly increasing sequence (n_k) of positive integers is said to be a Hilbertian Jamison sequence if for any bounded operator T on a separable Hilbert space such that the supremum over k of the norms ||T^{n_k}|| is finite, the set of…
In the present paper, as we did previously in [7], we investigate the relations between the geometric properties of tilings and the algebraic properties of associated relational structures. Our study is motivated by the existence of…
This sequel to our previous paper [MS11b] continues the study of topological contact dynamics and applications to contact dynamics and topological dynamics. We provide further evidence that the topological automorphism groups of a contact…
We introduce the concepts of Baire Ergodicity and Ergodic Formalism, employing them to study topological and statistical attractors. Specifically, we establish the existence and finiteness of such attractors and provide applications for…
Networked dynamical systems are common throughout science in engineering; e.g., biological networks, reaction networks, power systems, and the like. For many such systems, nonlinearity drives populations of identical (or near-identical)…
