Many time-dependent linear partial differential equations of mathematical physics and continuum mechanics can be phrased in the form of an abstract evolutionary system defined on a Hilbert space. In this paper we discuss a general framework…
The goal of the present account is to review our efforts to obtain and apply a ``collective'' Hamiltonian for a few, approximately decoupled, adiabatic degrees of freedom, starting from a Hamiltonian system with more or many more degrees of…

We consider the physical model of a classical mechanical system (called "small system") undergoing repeated interactions with a chain of identical small pieces (called "environment"). This physical setup constitutes an advantageous way of…
This paper is the second in a series devoted to the study of Langevin systems subjected to a continuous time-delayed feedback control. The goal of our previous paper [Phys. Rev. E 91, 042114 (2015)] was to derive second-law-like…
We present here a conjecture about the equivalence between the noise density of states of a system governed by a generalized Langevin equation and the fluctuation in the energy density of states in a Hamiltonian system. We present evidence…
We consider deterministic homogenization for discrete-time fast-slow systems of the form $$ X_{k+1} = X_k + n^{-1}a_n(X_k,Y_k) + n^{-1/2}b_n(X_k,Y_k)\;, \quad Y_{k+1} = T_nY_k\;$$ and give conditions under which the dynamics of the slow…
We show that any short-range Hamiltonian with a gap between the ground and excited states can be written as a sum of local operators, such that the ground state is an approximate eigenvector of each operator separately. We then show that…
We give an example of a simple mechanical system described by the generalized harmonic oscillator equation, which is a basic model in discussion of the adiabatic dynamics and geometric phase. This system is a linearized plane pendulum with…
By examining both the divergence of the velocity vector in orthogonal Cartesian coordinate space $\mathbf{\Gamma} $ of dimension $\R^{\textrm {2fN}}$ and the structure of the Hamiltonian determining a system trajectory, it is shown that the…
We study the homogenization of a steady diffusion equation in a highly heterogeneous medium made of two subregions separated by a periodic barrier through which the flow is proportional to the jump of the temperature by a layer conductance…
