This study provides sufficient conditions for the temporal monotonic decay of enstrophy for two-dimensional perturbations traveling in the incompressible, viscous, plane Poiseuille and Couette flows. Extension of J. L. Synge's procedure…
Add to each level of binary tree edges to make the induced graph on the level a uniform expander. It is shown that such a graph admits no non-constant bounded harmonic functions.
Rayleigh-Levy flights have played a significant role in cosmology as simplified models for understanding how matter distributes itself under gravitational influence. These models also exhibit numerous remarkable properties that enable the…
We demonstrate that a disordered magnetic Weyl semimetal may be mapped onto a two-dimensional array of coupled replicated Hubbard chains, where the Hubbard $U$ is directly related to the variance of the disorder potential. This is a…
We consider a continuous-time random walk which is defined as an interpolation of a random walk on a point process on the real line. The distances between neighboring points of the point process are i.i.d. random variables in the normal…
We study periodic, piecewise linear maps on the plane starting with the Mort Brown's map. We show that if the number of pieces is two, there is only a short list of possible periods (this fact can be seen as the crystallographic restriction…
Chirality refers to the property that an object and its mirror image cannot overlap each other by spatial rotation and translation, and can be found in various research fields. We here propose chiral chaos and construct a chiral chaotic…
One of the most important characteristics of a quantum graph is the average density of resonances, $\rho = \frac{\mathcal{L}}{\pi}$, where $\mathcal{L}$ denotes the length of the graph. This is a very robust measure. It does not depend on…
Astute variations in the geometry of mathematical billiard tables have been and continue to be a source of understanding their wide range of dynamical behaviors, from regular to chaotic. Viewing standard specular billiards in the broader…
We provide theoretical and experimental evidence of statistical outliers in random laser emission that are not accounted for by the, now established, power-law tailed (L\'evy) distribution. Such outliers manifest themselves as single, large…
A perturbed family of interval exchange maps (FIEMs) provides a natural two-\linebreak{}dimensional area-preserving extension of interval exchange maps, with each IEM parameterized by an action variable $y$. Such families arise, for…
In this paper, we discuss the Lyapunov exponent definition of chaos and how it can be used to quantify the chaotic behavior of a system. We derive a way to practically calculate the Lyapunov exponent of a one-dimensional system and use it…
A promising step from linear towards nonlinear data-driven control is via the design of controllers for linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems, which are linear systems whose parameters are varying along a measurable scheduling signal.…
In many applications, there is a desire to determine if the dynamics of interest are chaotic or not. Since positive Lyapunov exponents are a signature for chaos, they are often used to determine this. Reliable estimates of Lyapunov…
In the class of nonlinear one-parameter real maps we study those with bifurcation that exhibits period doubling cascade. The fixed points of such a map form a finite discrete real set with dimension (2^n)m, where m is the (odd) number of…
We develop an approach to Malliavin calculus for L\'evy processes from the perspective of expressing a random variable $Y$ by a functional $F$ mapping from the Skorohod space of c\`adl\`ag functions to $\mathbb{R}$, such that $Y=F(X)$ where…
We introduce a new family of random compact metric spaces $\mathcal{S}_\alpha$ for $\alpha\in(1,2)$, which we call stable shredded spheres. They are constructed from excursions of $\alpha$-stable L\'evy processes on $[0,1]$ possessing no…
We apply the probabilistic coupling approach to establish the spatial regularity of semigroups associated with L\'{e}vy type operators, by assuming that the martingale problem of L\'{e}vy type operators is well posed. In particular, we can…
We suggest that random matrix theory applied to a classical action matrix can be used in classical physics to distinguish chaotic from non-chaotic behavior. We consider the 2-D stadium billiard system as well as the 2-D anharmonic and…
