The Hamiltonian dynamics of the classical $\phi^4$ model on a two-dimensional square lattice is investigated by means of numerical simulations. The macroscopic observables are computed as time averages. The results clearly reveal the…

We formulate Lagrangian descriptors (LDs) in the path integral framework. Averaging the classical LD over fluctuations about extremal trajectories defines a quantum LD that incorporates quantum effects. Invariant manifolds, which sharply…

A dynamical model is proposed for isotropic turbulence driven by steady forcing that yields a viscosity independent dynamics for the small-scale (inertial) regime. This reproduces the Kolmogorov spectrum for the two-point velocity…

Concepts and tools from network theory, the so-called Lagrangian Flow Network framework, have been successfully used to obtain a coarse-grained description of transport by closed fluid flows. Here we explore the application of this…

The large deviation theory has recently been applied to open quantum systems to uncover dynamical crossovers in the space of quantum trajectories associated to Markovian evolutions. Such dynamical crossovers are characterized by qualitative…

We present a direct approach to the construction of Lagrangians for a large class of one-dimensional dynamical systems with a simple dependence (monomial or polynomial) on the velocity. We rederive and generalize some recent results and…
