We show that using only weak hyperbolicity (no smoothness, compactness or exponential rates) the Hopf argument produces multiple mixing in an elementary way. While this recovers classical results with far simpler proofs, the point is the…
Recent studies have revealed the central role of chaotic stretching and folding at the pore scale in controlling mixing within porous media, whether the solid phase is discrete (as in granular and packed media) or continuous (as in vascular…
Complex networks have certain properties that distinguish them from their respective uniform or regular counterparts. One of these properties is the variation of topological properties along different hierarchical levels. In this work, we…
Asymptotic properties of discrete, stochastic approximations to hybrid systems, modeled as hybrid inclusions, are studied. First, the internal chain transitivity of omega-limits of solutions is concluded, along with other properties related…
Let $(X,T)$ and $(Y,S)$ be two topological dynamical systems, where $(X,T)$ has the weak specification property. Let $\xi$ be an invariant measure on the product system $(X\times Y, T\times S)$ with marginals $\mu$ on $X$ and $\nu$ on $Y$,…
Monotone systems constitute one of the most important classes of dynamical systems used in mathematical biology modeling. The objective of this paper is to extend the notion of monotonicity to systems with inputs and outputs, a necessary…
Weak topological phases are usually described in terms of protection by the lattice translation symmetry. Their characterization explicitly relies on periodicity since weak invariants are expressed in terms of the momentum-space torus. We…
We analyze the morphological transition of a one-dimensional system described by a scalar field, where a flat state looses its stability. This scalar field may for example account for the position of a crystal growth front, an order…
Rational weak mixing is a measure theoretic version of Krickeberg's strong ratio mixing property for infinite measure preserving transformations. It requires "{\tt density}" ratio convergence for every pair of measurable sets in a dense…
This paper is devoted to studying the multiple recurrent property of topologically mildly mixing systems along generalized polynomials. We show that if a minimal system is topologically mildly mixing, then it is mild mixing of higher orders…
Mixing of materials is fundamental to many natural phenomena and engineering applications. The presence of discontinuous deformations - such as shear banding or wall slip - creates new mechanisms for mixing and transport beyond those…
The dynamical behavior of switched affine systems is known to be more intricate than that of the well-studied switched linear systems, essentially due to the existence of distinct equilibrium points for each subsystem. First, under…
The notion of weak cyclic monotonicity of set-valued maps generalizing the cyclic monotonicity is introduced. The existence of solutions of differential inclusions with compact, upper semi-continuous, not necessarily convex right-hand sides…
Many complex systems satisfy a set of constraints on their degrees of freedom, and at the same time, they are able to work and adapt to different conditions. Here, we describe the emergence of this ability in a simplified model in which the…
The theory of monotone dynamical systems has been found very useful in the modeling of some gene, protein, and signaling networks. In monotone systems, every net feedback loop is positive. On the other hand, negative feedback loops are…
The dynamics of a linear dynamical system over a finite field can be described by using the elementary divisors of the corresponding matrix. It is natural to extend the investigation to a general finite commutative ring. In a previous…
In the context of the long-standing issue of mixing in infinite ergodic theory, we introduce the idea of mixing for observables possessing an infinite-volume average. The idea is borrowed from statistical mechanics and appears to be…
A minimal system $(X,T)$ is topologically mildly mixing if all non-empty open subsets $U,V$, $\{n\in \Z: U\cap T^{-n}V\neq \emptyset\}$ is an IP$^*$-set. In this paper we show that if a minimal system is topologically mildly mixing, then it…
Very often, models in biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering are systems of polynomial or power-law ordinary differential equations, arising from a reaction network. Such dynamical systems can be generated by many different reaction…
A procedure to characterize chaotic dynamical systems with concepts of complex networks is pursued, in which a dynamical system is mapped onto a network. The nodes represent the regions of space visited by the system, while edges represent…
