It is proposed that self-organisation (SO) in non-equilibrium systems is governed by a general principle: it emerges when a minute subset of system configurations are exceptionally stable and long-lived to survive the noise generated by the…
The flow of a $k$-cooperative system maps the set of vectors with up to~$(k-1)$ sign variations to itself. Strongly $2$-cooperative systems satisfy a strong \Poincare-Bendixson property: any bounded solution that evolves in a compact set…
We present a conservative/dissipative time integration scheme for nonlinear mechanical systems. Starting from a weak form, we derive algorithmic forces and velocities that guarantee the desired conservation/dissipation properties. Our…
Stability and control of a non-linear system represent an important system configuration that frequently arises in practical engineering. Stability covers a vast range of systems that do not obey the superposition principle and applies to…
We use (nonconservative) dynamical semigroups to investigate the decay law of a quantum unstable system weakly coupled with a large environment. We find that the deviations from the classical exponential law are small and can be safely…

We study the evolution of observables of dynamical systems. For linear systems, we show that observables satisfy a closed differential equation whose minimal order is determined by the dynamical system and observation operator. This yields…
Persistent economic competition is often justified as a mechanism of innovation, efficiency, and welfare maximization. Yet empirical evidence across disciplines reveals that competition systematically generates fragility, inequality, and…
For a one-dimensional motion, a constant of motion for non autonomous an linear system (position and velocity) is given from the constant of motion associated to its autonomous system. This approach is used in the study of the harmonic…
Let $(E,\xi)={\rm ind}(E_n, \xi_n)$ be an inductive limit of a sequence $(E_n, \xi_n)_{n\in N}$ of locally convex spaces and let every step $(E_n, \xi_n)$ be endowed with a partial order by a pointed convex (solid) cone $S_n$. In the…
In this paper, first, it is shown that if a nonlinear time-varying system is contractive, then it is incrementally exponentially stable. Second, leveraging this result, under mild restrictions, an approach is proposed to design feedforward…
This paper derives two stabilizability theorems for a basic class of discrete-time nonlinear systems with multiple unknown parameters. First, we claim that a discrete-time multi-parameter system is stabilizable if its nonlinear growth rate…
The classical Lagrange formalism is generalized to the case of arbitrary stationary (but not necessarily conservative) dynamical systems. It is shown that the equations of motion for such systems can be derived in the standard ways from the…

We present a simple two-dimensional dynamical system where two nonlinear terms, exerting respectively positive feedback and reversal, compete to create a singularity in finite time decorated by accelerating oscillations. The power law…
