Within a unified framework, we reveal that the seemingly disparate control approaches for classical and quantum continuous-variable systems are interconnected via differential manifolds of the ancillary representations. For classical…
We give an estimate of the discontinuity of the large Julia set for a perturbation of a class of maps tangent to the identity, by means of a two-dimensional Lavaurs Theorem. We adapt to our situation a strategy due to Bedford, Smillie and…
We give a combinatorial definition of "core entropy" for quadratic polynomials as the growth exponent of the number of certain precritical points in the Julia set (those that separate the $\alpha$ fixed point from its negative). This notion…
We argue that discrete dynamics has natural links to the theory of analytic functions. Most important, bifurcations and chaotic dynamical properties are related to intersections of algebraic varieties. This paves the way to identification…
Let f be a C1 bivariate function with Lipschitz derivatives, and F = {x $\in$ R2 : f(x) $\lambda$} an upper level set of f, with $\lambda$ $\in$ R. We present a new identity giving the Euler characteristic of F in terms of its three-points…
The role of the QCD theta-parameter is investigated in pure Yang-Mills theory in the spacetime given by the four-dimensional Euclidean torus. While in this setting the introduction of possibly unphysical boundary conditions is avoided, it…
Without an ultraviolet cut-off, the time evolution of the classical Yang-Mills equations give rise to a never ending cascading of the modes towards the ultraviolet, and ergodic measures and dynamical averages, such as the spectrum of…
Implementing and executing numerical algorithms to solve fractional differential equations has been less straightforward than using their integer-order counterparts, posing challenges for practitioners who wish to incorporate fractional…
For certain typical perturbations $(f_n)_n$ of a rational map $f$ with parabolic cycles, we investigate the relations between the Hausdorff convergence of Julia sets and invariant rays, and the horocyclic convergence of multipliers of…
We begin by reporting on some recent results of the authors (Frederico and Torres, 2006), concerning the use of the fractional Euler-Lagrange notion to prove a Noether-like theorem for the problems of the calculus of variations with…
Characterization of Schur-class functions (analytic and bounded by one in modulus on the open unit disk) in terms of their Taylor coefficients at the origin is due to I. Schur. We present a boundary analog of this result: necessary and…
It is shown that for quasiregular maps of positive lower order the Julia set coincides with the boundary of the fast escaping set.
Converging hierarchies of finite-dimensional semi-definite relaxations have been proposed for state-constrained optimal control problems featuring oscillation phe-nomena, by relaxing controls as Young measures. These semi-definite…
Nonlinear control-affine systems described by ordinary differential equations with bounded measurable input functions are considered. The solvability of general boundary value problems for these systems is formulated in the sense of…
We consider an asymptotically linear Schr\"odinger equation $-\Delta u + V(x)u = \lambda u + f(x,u), \ x\in R^N$, and show that if $\lambda_0$ is an isolated eigenvalue for the linearization at infinity, then under some additional…
We show that a one-dimensional differential equation depending on a parameter $\mu$ with a saddle-node bifurcation at $\mu =0$ can be modelled by an extended normal form $\dot y = \nu (\mu )-y^2+a(\mu )y^3$, where the functions $\nu$ and…
A feasible model is introduced that manifests phenomena intrinsic to iterative complex analytic maps (such as the Mandelbrot set and Julia sets). The system is composed of two coupled alternately excited oscillators (or self-sustained…
We consider the stochastically driven one dimensional nonlinear oscillator $\ddot{x}+2\Gamma\dot{x}+\omega^2_0 x+\lambda x^3 = f(t)$ where f(t) is a Gaussian noise which, for the bulk of the work, is delta correlated (white noise). We…
A hyperbolic transcendental entire function with connected Fatou set is said to be "of disjoint type". It is known that a disjoint-type function provides a model for the dynamics near infinity of all maps in the same parameter space; hence…
We discuss the observability of a one-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation on certain time dependent domain. In linear moving case, we give the exact boundary and pointwise internal observability for arbitrary time. For the general moving, we…
