We introduce the notion of dynamical metric order of a continuous map on a compact metric space, study its basic properties, and compute it for several classes of maps. This concept which is a counterpart of the metric mean dimension with…

We introduce a class of orbits which may have $0$ Lyapunov exponents, but still demonstrate some sensitivity to initial conditions. We construct a countable Markov partition with a finite-to-one almost everywhere induced coding, and which…

Dynamics of the Duffing--Van der Pol driven oscillator is investigated. Periodic steady-state solutions of the corresponding equation are computed within the Krylov-Bogoliubov-Mitropolsky approach to yield dependence of amplitude $A$ on…

We revisit some issues about existence and regularity for the wave equation in noncylindrical domains. Using a method of diffeomorphisms, we show how, through increasing regularity assumptions, the existence of weak solutions, their…

Lyapunov functions are essential tools in dynamical systems, as they allow the stability analysis of equilibrium points without the need to explicitly solve the system's equations. Despite their importance, no systematic method exists for…

In addition to the weak-dipolar state and to the fluctuating-multipolar state, widely discussed in the literature, a third regime has been identified in Dormy (2016). It corresponds to a strong-dipolar branch which appears to approach, in a…

The present paper introduces the concept of monotone Hopf-harmonics in $2D$ as an alternative to harmonic homeomorphisms. It opens a new area of study in Geometric Function Theory (GFT). Much of the foregoing is motivated by the principle…

In this work, we uncover a layered organization of the state space in the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation with periodic boundary conditions, in which multiple invariant sets coexist at fixed system parameters and are selected by the initial…

We consider an abstract class of infinite-dimensional dynamical systems with inputs. For this class, the significance of noncoercive Lyapunov functions is analyzed. It is shown that the existence of such Lyapunov functions implies…

Let $M^n$, $n\geq 3$, be a closed orientable $n$-manifold and $\mathbb{D}_k(M^n;a,b,c)$ the set of axiom A diffeomorp\-hisms $f: M^n\to M^n$ satisfying the following conditions: (1) $f$ has $k\geq 1$ nontrivial basic sets each is either an…

This is a companion paper to arXiv:1207.3529 where we introduced the spinorial energy functional and studied its main properties in dimensions equal or greater than three. In this article we focus on the surface case. A salient feature here…

We consider a net of *-algebras, locally around any point of observation, equipped with a natural partial order related to the isotony property. Assuming the underlying manifold of the net to be a differentiable, this net shall be…

We propose a hybrid approach which employs the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) self-energy for the correlated, typically rather localized orbitals and a conventional density functional theory (DFT) exchange-correlation potential for the…

A theorem of Moser guarantees that every diffeomorphism of a closed manifold can be isotoped to a volume preserving one. We show that this statement cannot be extended into contact category: some connected components of contactomorphism…

This thesis attempts to contribute to the study of differentiable dynamics both from a semi-local and global point of view. The center of study is differentiable dynamics in manifolds of dimension 3 where we are interested in the…

A conformally invariant generalization of the Willmore energy for compact immersed submanifolds of even dimension in a Riemannian manifold is derived and studied. The energy arises as the coefficient of the log term in the renormalized area…

It is shown that the mechanism of order out of disorder is at work in the antisymmetric pyrochlore antiferromagnet. Quantum as well as thermal fluctuations break the continuous degeneracy of the classical ground state manifold and reduce…

Energy (or Lyapunov) functions are used to prove stability of equilibria, or to indicate a gradient-like structure of a dynamical system. Matano constructed a Lyapunov function for quasilinear non-degenerate parabolic equations. We modify…

We extend the existence theorems in [Barchiesi, Henao \& Mora-Corral; ARMA 224], for models of nematic elastomers and magnetoelasticity, to a larger class in the scale of Orlicz spaces. These models consider both an elastic term where a…

We extract all the invariants (i.e. all the functions which do not depend on the choice of phase-space coordinates) of the dynamics of two point-masses, at the third post-Newtonian (3PN) approximation of general relativity. We start by…
