We survey the connections between entropy, chaos, and independence in topological dynamics. We present extensions of two classical results placing the following notions in the context of symbolic dynamics: 1. Equivalence of positive entropy…
Mechanisms are elucidated underlying the existence of dynamical systems whose generic solutions approach asymptotically (at large time) isochronous evolutions: all their dependent variables tend asymptotically to functions periodic with the…
Topological entropy is a measure of complex dynamics. In this regard, multimodal maps play an important role when it comes to study low-dimensional chaotic dynamics or explain some features of higher dimensional complex dynamics with…
We review old and new uses of exchangeability, emphasizing the general theme of exchangeable representations of complex random structures. Illustrations of this theme include processes of stochastic coalescence and fragmentation; continuum…
We introduce subshifts of quasi-finite type as a generalization of the well-known subshifts of finite type. This generalization is much less rigid and therefore contains the symbolic dynamics of many non-uniform systems, e.g., piecewise…
Entropy is a quantity for counting physical degrees of freedom in a system. At a finite temperature, one can use thermal entropy to study thermodynamical properties. At zero temperature, entanglement entropy is expected to provide a…
Dynamical system theory is a widely used technique in the analysis of cosmological models. Within this framework, the equations describing the dynamics of a model are recast in terms of dimensionless variables, which evolve according to a…
We construct meta-intransitive systems of independent random variables of any finite order from basic tuple of random variables which generalize intransitive dice. Under this construction, the equality of some linear functional is…
Fluctuations in the return time statistics of a dynamical system can be described by a new spectrum of dimensions. Comparison with the usual multifractal analysis of measures is presented, and difference between the two corresponding sets…
This paper is devoted to the study of some connections between coadjoint orbits in infinite dimensional Lie algebras, isospectral deformations and linearization of dynamical systems. We explain how results from deformation theory,…
The non-emptiness, called the Domino Problem, and the characterization of the possible entropies of $\mathbb{Z}^2$-subshifts of finite type are standard problems of symbolic dynamics. In this article we study these questions with horizontal…
We develop a unified categorical theory of substructural abstract syntax with variable binding and single-variable (capture-avoiding) substitution. This is done for the gamut of context structural rules given by exchange (linear theory)…
We study measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ which are induced by a class of infinite and recursive iterations in symbolic dynamics. Beginning with a finite set of data, we analyze prescribed recursive iteration systems, each involving subdivisions.…
Motivated by questions from program transformations, eight notions of isomorphisms between term rewriting systems are defined, analysed, and classified. The notions include global isomorphisms, where the renaming of variables and function…
Dynamical systems methods are used to investigate global behavior of the spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological model in gravitational theory with a non-minimally coupled scalar field and a constant potential function. We…
While there exists a well-developed asymptotic theory of Fr\'echet means of random variables taking values in a general "finite-dimensional" metric space, there are only a few known results in which the random variables can take values in…
A discrete dynamical system in Euclidean m-space generated by the iterates of an asymptotically zero map f, satisfying f(x) goes to zero as x goes to infinity, must have a compact global attracting set $A $. The question of what additional…
Given any strong orbit equivalence class of minimal Cantor systems and any cardinal number that is finite, countable, or the continuum, we show that there exists a minimal subshift within the given class whose number of asymptotic…
The study of subshifts on groups different from $\mathbb{Z}$, such as $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 2$, has been a subject of intense research in recent years. These investigations have unveiled aremarkable connection between dynamics and…
We consider continuous, translation-commuting transformations of compact, translation-invariant families of mappingsfrom finitely generated groups into finite alphabets. It is well-known that such transformations and spaces can be described…
