We introduce a discrete lossy system, into which a double hot spot (HS) is inserted, i.e., two mutually symmetric sites carrying linear gain and cubic nonlinearity. The system can be implemented as an array of optical or plasmonic…
With perfectly balanced gain and loss, dynamical systems with indefinite damping can obey the exact PT-symmetry being marginally stable with a pure imaginary spectrum. At an exceptional point where the symmetry is spontaneously broken, the…
Driven-dissipative light-matter systems can exhibit collective nonequilibrium phenomena due to loss and gain processes on the one hand and effective photon-photon interactions on the other hand. As generic example we study a bosonic lattice…
We study the localization along a filter of several dynamical notions. This generalizes and extends similar localizations that have been considered in the literature, e.g. near 0 and near an idempotent. Definitions and basic properties of…
We consider the stability of synchronized states (including equilibrium point, periodic orbit or chaotic attractor) in arbitrarily coupled dynamical systems (maps or ordinary differential equations). We develop a general approach, based on…
We investigate the dissipative dynamics of linear and nonlinear waves in harmonic traps by means of engineered complex non-Hermitian potentials. By combining an analytical mapping between real and complex Schr\"odinger equations with direct…
We reveal a generic connection between the effect of time-reversals and nonlinear wave dynamics in systems with parity-time (PT) symmetry, considering a symmetric optical coupler with balanced gain and loss where these effects can be…
We consider a dual-core nonlinear waveguide with the parity-time (PT) symmetry, realized in the form of equal gain and loss terms carried by the coupled cores. To expand a previously found stability region for solitons in this system, and…
Optics has proved a fertile ground for the experimental simulation of quantum mechanics. Most recently, optical realizations of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric quantum mechanics have been shown, both theoretically and experimentally, opening the…
The recent progress in the context of elastic metamaterials and modulated waveguides with digitally controllable properties has opened new pathways to overcome the limitations dictated by Hermitian Hamiltonians in mechanics. Among the…
In this chapter we review concepts and theories of polymer dynamics. We think of it as an introduction to the topic for scientists specializing in other subfields of statistical mechanics and condensed matter theory, so, for the readers…
We consider global in time solutions of the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system describing the motion of a general compressible, viscous and heat conducting fluid far from equilibirum. Using a new concept of weak solution suitable to accommodate…
We find conditions for stationary measures of random dynamical systems on surfaces having dissipative diffeomorphisms to be absolutely continuous. These conditions involve a uniformly expanding on average property in the future (UEF) and…
We show that for periodic non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems, even when a common fixed point for each of the autonomous associated dynamical systems is repeller, this fixed point can became a local attractor for the whole system,…
This work extends the theory of topological protection to dispersive systems. This theory has emerged from the field of topological insulators and has been established for continuum models in both classical and quantum settings. It predicts…
In this manuscript we systematically review known results of local dynamics of discrete local holomorphic dynamics near fixed points in one and several complex variables as well as the consequences in global dynamics.
We prove well-posedness for very general linear wave- and diffusion equations on compact or non-compact metric graphs allowing various different conditions in the vertices. More precisely, using the theory of strongly continuous operator…
Asymptotic state of an open quantum system can undergo qualitative changes upon small variation of system parameters. We demonstrate it that such 'quantum bifurcations' can be appropriately defined and made visible as changes in the…
A model including two nonlinear chains with linear and nonlinear couplings between them, and opposite signs of the discrete diffraction inside the chains, is introduced. For [$\chi ^{(3)}$] nonlinearity, the model finds two different…
Despite the benefits that directional coupler based parity-time symmetric systems may offer to the field of integrated optics, the realization of such couplers relies on rather strict design constraints on the waveguide parameters. Here, we…
