When human participants repeatedly encounter a velocity-dependent force field that distorts their movement trajectories, they adapt their motor behavior to recover straight trajectories. Computational models suggest that adaptation to a…
This contribution presents a derivation of the steady-state distribution of velocities and distances of driven particles on a onedimensional periodic ring. We will compare two different situations: (i) symmetrical interaction forces…
The concepts of symmetry and its breakdown are investigated in two different terms according to whether the resulting asymmetry is universal or only obtained for a special configuration: we shall illustrate this by considering in the first…
While Kramers' rates have been studied for almost a century, the transition path time between states has only recently received attention. Transition paths between different energy levels are expected to be indistinguishable in shape and…
We bring a control perspective to the problem of identifying paths of measures for sampling via dynamic measure transport (DMT). We highlight the fact that commonly used paths may be poor choices for DMT and connect existing methods for…
As the potential for autonomous vehicles to be integrated on a large scale into modern traffic systems continues to grow, ensuring safe navigation in dynamic environments is crucial for smooth integration. To guarantee safety and prevent…
Transport properties of particles and waves in spatially periodic structures that are driven by external time-dependent forces manifestly depend on the space-time symmetries of the corresponding equations of motion. A systematic analysis of…
The paper is split in two parts: in the first part, we construct the exact likelihood for a discretely observed rough differential equation, driven by a piecewise linear path. In the second part, we use this likelihood in order to construct…
The probabilistic description of the time evolution of a physical system can take two conceptually distinct forms: a trajectory of probabilities, which specifies how probabilities evolve over time, and a probability on trajectories, which…
In the classical stochastic resetting problem, a particle, moving according to some stochastic dynamics, undergoes random interruptions that bring it to a selected domain, and then, the process recommences. Hitherto, the resetting mechanism…
We consider a many-fermion model which exhibits a transition from a superconducting to a rotational phase with variation of a parameter in its Hamiltonian. The model has analytical solutions in its two limits due to the presence of…
In this essay we give an introduction to conformal symmetry, based on the example of the Yamabe operator and its use in conformal differential geometry, and in representation theory.
Resistance \rho of an one-dimensional disordered system of length l has the log-normal distribution in the limit of large l. Parameters of this distribution depend on the Fermi level position, but are independent on the boundary conditions.…
The prediction of human trajectories is important for planning in autonomous systems that act in the real world, e.g. automated driving or mobile robots. Human trajectory prediction is a noisy process, and no prediction does precisely match…
This paper discusses the interplay of symmetries and stability in the analysis and control of nonlinear dynamical systems and networks. Specifically, it combines standard results on symmetries and equivariance with recent convergence…
In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. E 57, p. 1550 (1998)] we demonstrated that the symmetries of the evolution equation and the target state have a profound effect on the selection of the admissible control parameters. In the present paper we…
Random walks serve as important tools for studying complex network structures, yet their dynamics in cases where transition probabilities are not static remain under explored and poorly understood. Here we study nonlinear random walks that…
Yet often neglected, dynamical interdependencies between concomitant contagion processes can alter their intrinsic equilibria and bifurcations. A particular case of interest for disease control is the emergence of explosive transitions in…
We propose models describing the collective dynamics of two opposing groups of individuals with stochastic communication. Individuals from the same group are assumed to align in a stochastic manner, while individuals from different groups…
This paper addresses the problem of steering an initial probability distribution to a target probability distribution through a deterministic or stochastic linear control system. Our proposed approach is inspired by the flow matching…
