Given an arbitrary continuous flow on a manifold M, let CMin be the set of its compact minimal sets, endowed with the Hausdorff metric, and S the subset of those that are Lyapunov stable. A topological characterization of the interior of S,…
In the dynamical systems approach to describing turbulent or otherwise chaotic flows, an important quantity is the Lyapunov exponents and vectors that characterize the strange attractor of the flow. In particular, knowledge of the Lyapunov…
We obtain that Sarnak's M\"{o}bius Disjointness Conjecture holds for product flows between affine linear flows on compact abelian groups of zero topological entropy and a class of rigid dynamical systems. To prove this, we show an estimate…
We introduce a flow of maps from a compact surface of arbitrary genus to an arbitrary Riemannian manifold which has elements in common with both the harmonic map flow and the mean curvature flow, but is more effective at finding minimal…
Linear stability analysis is applied to the mean flow of an oscillating round jet with the aim to investigate the robustness and accuracy of mean flow stability wave models. The jet's axisymmetric mode is excited at the nozzle lip through a…
We study the dynamics of the Nose-Hoover and Moore-Spiegel Oscillators, and in particular, their topological dynamics. We prove the dynamics of both these systems can be reduced to a flow on a solid torus, with at most a finite number of…
Furstenberg's flow on the infinite-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^\omega$ is defined by \[ T (x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_\nu, \ldots) = (x_1 + \alpha, x_2 + h(x_1), \ldots, x_\nu + h(x_1 + (\nu-2)\beta), \ldots) \] with $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$…
In this short note, we characterize stability of the Kim--Milman flow map -- also known as the probability flow ODE -- with respect to variations in the target measure in relative Fisher information.
Let $\lambda$ and $\mu$ denote the Liouville and M\"obius functions respectively. Hildebrand showed that all eight possible sign patterns for $(\lambda(n), \lambda(n+1), \lambda(n+2))$ occur infinitely often. By using the recent result of…
We study the definable topological dynamics $(G(M), S_G(M))$ of a definable group acting on its type space, where $M$ is either an $o$-minimal structure or a $p$-adically closed field, and $G$ a definable amenable group. We focus on the…
Structurally stable (rough) flows on surfaces have only finitely many singularities and finitely many closed orbits, all of which are hyperbolic, and they have no trajectories joining saddle points. The violation of the last property leads…
Certain aspects of the mean-field theory of turbulent passive scalar transport and of mean-field electrodynamics are considered with particular emphasis on aspects of compressible fluids. It is demonstrated that the total mean-field…
We prove that strongly $b$-multiplicative functions of modulus $1$ along squares are asymptotically orthogonal to the M\"obius function. This provides examples of sequences having maximal entropy and satisfying this property.
In the present paper a simple dynamical model for computing the osmotically driven fluid flow in a variety of complex, non equilibrium situations is derived from first principles. Using the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation, the basic…
We investigate length decreasing maps $f:M\to N$ between Riemannian manifolds $M$, $N$ of dimensions $m\ge 2$ and $n$, respectively. Assuming that $M$ is compact and $N$ is complete such that…
In neuroscience, optics and condensed matter there is ample physical evidence for multistable dynamical systems, that is, systems with a large number of attractors. The known mathematical mechanisms that lead to multiple attractors are…
In this paper we address anisotropic and inhomogeneous mean curvature flows with forcing and mobility, and show that the minimizing movements scheme converges to level set/viscosity solutions and to distributional solutions \textit{\`a la}…
Many dynamical systems described by nonlinear ODEs are unstable. Their associated solutions do not converge towards an equilibrium point, but rather converge towards some invariant subset of the state space called an attractor set. For a…
We calculate tidally driven mean flows in a slowly and uniformly rotating massive main sequence star in a binary system. We treat the tidal potential due to the companion as a small perturbation to the primary star. We compute tidal…
It is well known that the addition of noise in a multistable system can induce random transitions between stable states. The rate of transition can be characterised in terms of the noise-free system's dynamics and the added noise: for…
