Nonequilibrium statistical models of point vortex systems are constructed using an optimal closure method, and these models are employed to approximate the relaxation toward equilibrium of systems governed by the two-dimensional Euler…
We consider the motion of a particle on a surface which is a small perturbation of the standard sphere. One may qualitatively describe the motion by means of a precessing great circle of the sphere. The observation is employed to derive a…
In this work we study the existence of periodic and asymptotically periodic solutions of a system of nonlinear Volterra difference equations with infinite delay. By means of fixed point theory, we furnish conditions that guarantee the…
We study in experiment and with computer simulation the free energy and the kinetics of vacancy and interstitial defects in two-dimensional dipolar crystals. The defects appear in different local topologies which we characterize by their…
Let $f:M\rightarrow M$ be a biholomorphisms on two--dimensional a complex manifold, and let $X\subseteq M$ be a compact $f$--invariant set such that $f|X$ is asymptotically dissipative and without sinks periodic points. We introduce a…
Surface catalytic processes produce, under certain conditions, small clusters of adsorbed atoms or groups, called {\em islands} which, after they have been formed, move as individual entities. Here we consider the catalytic reduction of NO…
We investigate the evolution of the surface of radiating stars by studying the asymptotic behaviour of exact solutions initiated via the stationary boundary condition. This boundary condition leads to a master equation in the form of a…
In this study, we investigate the dynamics of moving fronts in three-dimensional spaces, which form as a result of in-situ combustion during oil production. This phenomenon is also observed in other contexts, such as various autowave models…
In this article it is proved that the dynamical properties of a broad class of semilinear parabolic problems are sensitive to arbitrarily small but smooth perturbations of the nonlinear term, when the spatial dimension is either equal to…
We use the entropy method to analyze the nonlinear dynamics and stability of a continuum kinetic model of an active nematic suspension. From the time evolution of the relative entropy -- an energy-like quantity in the kinetic model -- we…
We employ a topological approach to investigate the nature of quasi-stationary states of the Mean Field XY Hamiltonian model that arise when the system is initially prepared in a fully magnetized configuration. By means of numerical…
Soft colloids allow to explore high density states well beyond random close packing. An important open question is whether softness controls the dynamics under these dense conditions. While experimental works reported conflicting results,…
In this work, we consider a system of multidimensional wave equations coupled by velocities with one localized fractional boundary damping. First, using a general criteria of Arendt- Batty, by assuming that the boundary control region…
Necessary conditions for asymptotic stability and stabilizability of subsets for dynamical and control systems are obtained. The main necessary condition is homotopical and is in turn used to obtain a homological one. A certain extension is…
We develop a general boundary calculus for algebraic phases and use it to formulate an intrinsic structural framework for deformation and obstruction phenomena. Structural boundaries are shown to be finitely detectable and canonically…
How to maintain relative high diversity is important to avoid premature convergence in population-based optimization methods. Island model is widely considered as a major approach to achieve this because of its flexibility and high…
We use Monte-Carlo simulations to study island formation in the growth of thin semiconducting films deposited on lattice-mismatched substrates. It is known that islands nucleate with critical nuclei of about one atom and grow two…
We consider the ordered and disordered dynamics for monolayers of rolling self-interacting particles with an offset center of mass and a non-isotropic inertia tensor. The rolling constraint is considered as a simplified model of a very…
Molecules at the air-water interface often form inhomogeneous layers in which domains of different densities are separated by sharp interfaces. Complex interfacial pattern formation may occur through the competition of short- and long-range…
We introduce the notion of a random relaxed asymptotic contraction in the setting of random normed modules. The contraction condition employs two quasi-metrics that are built directly from the random operator: a lower quasi-metric which…
