We apply periodic orbit theory to study the asymptotic distribution of escape times from an intermittent map. The dynamical zeta function exhibits a branch point which is associated with an asymptotic power law escape. By an analytic…
It is shown in Ferrari \cite{Ferrari-1993CMP} that if $[0, T^*)$ is the maximal time interval of existence of a smooth solution of the incompressible Euler equations in a bounded, simply-connected domain in $\mathbb{R}^3$, then…
The thesis comprises three chapters. Chapter 1 investigates generalizations of the theorem of Fatou for convolution type integral operators with general approximate identities. It is introduced $\lambda(r)$-convergence, which is a…
The ergodic theory and geometry of the Julia set of meromorphic functions on the complex plane with polynomial Schwarzian derivative is investigated under the condition that the forward trajectory of asymptotic values in the Julia set is…
We study the dynamics generated by return maps associated with nested convex bodies and growing domains satisfying the geometric normal property in the plane. These maps are defined by transporting boundary points along normal directions to…
An optimal control problem related to the probability of transition between stable states for a thermally driven Ginzburg-Landau equation is considered. The value function for the optimal control problem with a spatial discretization is…
Zeta-function regularization is applied to complete a recent analysis of the quantized electromagnetic field in the presence of boundaries. The quantum theory is studied by setting to zero on the boundary the magnetic field, the…
We study the theta divisor of the compactified jacobian of a nodal, possibly reducible, curve. We compute its irreducible components and give it a geometric interpretation consistent with the classical Brill-Noether theory of smooth curves.…
We consider Brownian motion in a bounded domain $\Omega$ on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(\Sigma,g)$. We assume that the boundary $\p\Omega$ is smooth and reflects the trajectories, except for a small absorbing arc…
Holderian functions have strong non-linearities, which result in singularities in the derivatives. This manuscript presents several fractional-order Taylor expansions of H\"olderian functions around points of non- differentiability. These…
An application of optimal control theory results in a lower bound on the speed $|\dot{\lambda}(t)|$ that must be attained at least once by any external forcing function that induces tipping in the asymptotically autonomous scalar ODE…
Let $C_v$ be a complete, algebraically closed non-archimedean field, and let $f \in C_v(z)$ be a rational function of degree $d \geq 2$. If $f$ satisfies a bounded contraction condition on its Julia set, we prove that small perturbations of…
If M is a Drinfeld module over a local function field L, we may view M as a dynamical system, and consider its filled Julia set J. If J^0 is the connected component of the identity, relative to the Berkovich topology, we give a…
According to usual calculations, the use of a hard cutoff $\Lambda$ in gauge theories leads to a violation of gauge invariance. This seems to generate a tension between gauge theories and the Wilsonian effective field theory (EFT) paradigm,…
We give a boundary observability result for a $1$d wave equation with a potential. We then deduce with a Schauder fixed-point argument the existence of a Neumann boundary control for a semi-linear wave equation $\partial_{tt}y -…
Courant theorem provides an upper bound for the number of nodal domains of eigenfunctions of a wide class of Laplacian-type operators. In particular, it holds for generic eigenfunctions of quantum graph. The theorem stipulates that, after…
We consider sequences of compositions of quadratic polynomials $f_{c_n} (z) = z^2 + c_n$. For such sequences one can naturally generalize the definitions of the Julia set and basin of infinity from the autonomous case. In this setting the…
We consider random iteration of exponential entire functions, i.e. of the form ${\mathbb C}\ni z\mapsto f_\lambda(z):=\lambda e^z\in\mathbb C$, $\lambda\in{\mathbb C}\setminus \{0\}$. Assuming that $\lambda$ is in a bounded closed interval…
We study systems with a crossover parameter lambda, such as the temperature T, which has a threshold value lambda* across which the correlation function changes from exhibiting fixed wavelength (or time period) modulations to continuously…
We theoretically study divergent fluctuations of dynamical events at non-ergodic transitions. We first focus on the finding that a non-ergodic transition can be described as a saddle connection bifurcation of an order parameter for a time…
