Chaos indicators, like the Lyapunov exponent lambda, are widely used in celestial mechanics to characterize the dynamical behavior of bodies. The stability of their orbit can be determined by the calculation of the local exponential…
We study the dynamics of polynomial-like mappings in several variables. A special case of our results is the following theorem. Let f be a proper holomorphic map from an open set U onto a Stein manifold V, $U\subset\subset V$. Assume f is…
The Lyapunov exponent is used to characterize the stability of the dynamic response of the system, and it is often employed to verify if a system is chaotic. Since its discovery in the nineteenth century, various methods have been proposed…
Lyapunov's indirect method is an attractive method for analyzing stability of non-linear systems since only the stability of the corresponding linearized system needs to be determined. Unfortunately, the proof for finite-dimensional systems…
We study dynamical systems forced by a combination of random and deterministic noise and provide criteria, in terms of Lyapunov exponents, for the existence of random attractors with continuous structure in the fibres. For this purpose, we…
We show that for any C^1+alpha diffeomorphism of a compact Riemannian manifold, every non-atomic, ergodic, invariant probability measure with non-zero Lyapunov exponents is approximated by uniformly hyperbolic sets in the sense that there…
Three similar convergence notions are considered. Two of them are the long established notions of convergent dynamics and incremental stability. The other is the more recent notion of contraction analysis. All three convergence notions…
This paper is concerned with stability analysis and synthesis for discrete-time linear systems with stochastic dynamics. Equivalence is first proved for three stability notions under some key assumptions on the randomness behind the…
We consider a continuous-time linear time-invariant dynamical system that admits an invariant cone. For the case of a self-dual and homogeneous cone we show that if the system is asymptotically stable then it admits a quadratic Lyapunov…
In this work, we show that if $f$ is a uniformly continuous map defined over a Polish metric space, then the set of $f$-invariant measures with zero metric entropy is a $G_\delta$ set (in the weak topology). In particular, this set is…
We study optimization-based criteria for the stability of switching systems, known as Path-Complete Lyapunov Functions, and ask the question "can we decide algorithmically when a criterion is less conservative than another". Our…
In this article, we propose a Lyapunov stability approach to analyze the convergence of the density operator of a quantum system. In analog to the classical probability measure for Markovian processes, we show that the set of invariant…
We introduce dynamical systems $(X,G)$ with closed relations $G$ on compact metric spaces $X$ and discuss different types of minimality of such dynamical systems, all of them generalizing minimal dynamical systems $(X,f)$ with continuous…
A recently developed method for the calculation of Lyapunov exponents of dynamical systems is described. The method is applicable whenever the linearized dynamics is Hamiltonian. By utilizing the exponential representation of symplectic…
In this paper, we present an algorithm for stability analysis of systems described by coupled linear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) with constant coefficients and mixed boundary conditions. Our approach uses positive matrices to…
In this work we present a theoretical and numerical study of the behaviour of the maximum Lyapunov exponent for a generic coupled-map-lattice in the weak-coupling regime. We explain the observed results by introducing a suitable…
We prove the existence of multiple noise-induced transitions in the Lasota-Mackey map, which is a class of one dimensional random dynamical system with additive noise. The result is achieved by the help of rigorous computer assisted…
We study systems with periodically oscillating parameters that can give way to complex periodic or non periodic orbits. Performing the long time limit, we can define ergodic averages such as Lyapunov exponents, where a negative maximal…
The Lyapunov exponents of a chaotic system quantify the exponential divergence of initially nearby trajectories. For Hamiltonian systems the exponents are related to the eigenvalues of a symplectic matrix. We make use of this fact to…
We investigate an example of noise-induced stabilization in the plane that was also considered in (Gawedzki, Herzog, Wehr 2010) and (Birrell, Herzog, Wehr 2011). We show that despite the deterministic system not being globally stable, the…
