We study the time-averaged flow in a model of particles that randomly hop on a finite directed graph. In the limit as the number of particles and the time window go to infinity but the graph remains finite, the large-deviation rate…
After the fundamental work of Livschitz in [1; 2], various research directions emerged, among which the following stand out: (i) the study of cocycles with values in groups and semigroups beyond R, as well as the investigation of…
Additive noise is known to produce counter-intuitive behaviors in nonlinear dynamical systems. Previously, it was shown that systems with a deterministic limit cycle can display bistable switching between metastable states in the presence…
Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space and $f_{1,\infty}=\{f_n\}_{i=0}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of continuous maps $f_n:X\rightarrow X$ such that $(f_n)$ converges uniformly to a continuous map $f$. We investigate which conditions ensure that the…

We study discrete-time dynamical systems that switch between different evolution rules based on thresholds that themselves adapt over time. Specifically, we analyze the coupled recursion $a_{n+1} = f(a_n)$ if $a_n \leq c_n$ and $a_{n+1} =…

We analyze the dynamics of a class of $\mathbb{Z}_{2n}$-equivariant differential equations on the plane, depending on 4 real parameters. This study is the generalisation to $\mathbb{Z}_{2n}$ of previous works with $\mathbb{Z}_4$ and…
This study investigates the existence and stability of limit cycles resulting from self-excited oscillations in linear multi-degree-of-freedom systems subjected to discontinuous, state-dependent forcing. Using the method of averaging and…
We consider the 1-parameter family of planar quintic systems, $\dot x= y^3-x^3$, $\dot y= -x+my^5$, introduced by A. Bacciotti in 1985. It is known that it has at most one limit cycle and that it can exist only when the parameter $m$ is in…
In this paper, we apply the averaging method via Brouwer degree in a class of planar systems given by a linear center perturbed by a sum of continuous homogeneous vector fields, to study lower bounds for their number of limit cycles. Our…
