We introduce a distributed control architecture for a class of heterogeneous, nonlinear dynamical agents moving in the "string" formation, while guaranteeing trajectory tracking, collision avoidance and the preservation of the formation's…
The paper establishes new relationship between cohomology, extensions and automorphisms of quandles. We derive a four term exact sequence relating quandle 1-cocycles, second quandle cohomology and certain group of automorphisms of an…
We show that attractors are semicontinuous for closed relations on compact Hausdorff spaces. Semicontinuity is what guarantees that small changes to a system do not result in massive growth of certain features, notably attractors. That is,…
The behaviour of many real-world phenomena can be modelled by nonlinear dynamical systems whereby a latent system state is observed through a filter. We are interested in interacting subsystems of this form, which we model by a set of…
The Lie product and the order relation are viewed as defining structures for Hamiltonian dynamical systems. Their admissible combinations are singled out by the requirement that the group of the Lie automorphisms be contained in the group…
In this article, we develop a functional-analytic framework to establish existence, uniqueness, regularity of disintegration, and statistical properties of equilibrium states for a broad class of dynamical systems, potentially discontinuous…
The modeling framework of port-Hamiltonian systems is systematically extended to constrained dynamical systems (descriptor systems, differential-algebraic equations). A new algebraically and geometrically defined system structure is…
The link of the $A_n$ singularity, $L_{A_n} \subset \mathbb{C}^3$ admits a natural contact structure $\xi_0$ coming from the set of complex tangencies. The canonical contact form $\alpha_0$ associated to $\xi_0$ is degenerate and thus has…
Homology with values in a connection with possibly irregular singular points on an algebraic curve is defined, generalizing homology with values in the underlying local system for a connection with regular singular points. Integration…
The well-known Conley's theorem states that the complement of chain recurrent set equals the union of all connecting orbits of the flow $\phi$ on the compact metric space $X$, i.e. $X-\mathcal{CR}(\phi)=\bigcup [B(A)-A]$, where…
If A is a nonnegative matrix whose associated directed graph is strongly connected, the Perron-Frobenius theorem asserts that A has an eigenvector in the positive cone, (R^+)^n. We associate a directed graph to any homogeneous, monotone…
"Concurrence topology" (Ellis and Klein \emph{Homology, Homotopy, and Applications,} \textbf{16}) is a TDA method for binary data. The idea is to construct a filtration consisting of Dowker complexes then compute persistent homology.…
We examine the question whether random set attractors for continuous-time random dynamical systems on a connected state space are connected. In the deterministic case, these attractors are known to be connected. In the probabilistic setup,…
Non-holonomic mechanical systems can be described by a degenerate almost-Poisson structure (dropping the Jacobi identity) in the constrained space. If enough symmetries transversal to the constraints are present, the system reduces to a…
The theory of feedback integrators is extended to handle mechanical systems with nonholonomic constraints with or without symmetry, so as to produce numerical integrators that preserve the nonholonomic constraints as well as other conserved…
We show that the unnormalised Khovanov homology of an oriented link can be identified with the derived functors of the inverse limit. This leads to a homotopy theoretic interpretation of Khovanov homology.
The structure of the graph defined by the interactions in a Boolean network can determine properties of the asymptotic dynamics. For instance, considering the asynchronous dynamics, the absence of positive cycles guarantees the existence of…
For almost finite groupoids, we study how their homology groups reflect dynamical properties of their topological full groups. It is shown that two clopen subsets of the unit space has the same class in H_0 if and only if there exists an…
Consider a holomorphic automorphism acting hyperbolically on an invariant compact set. It has been conjectured that the arising stable manifolds are all biholomorphic to Euclidean space. Such a stable manifold is always equivalent to the…
We introduce a notion of minimal uniform attractor for nonautonomous random dynamical systems, which depends jointly on time and on a random parameter. Several examples are provided to illustrate the concept and to compare it with existing…
