A persistent dynamical system in $\mathbb{R}^d_{> 0}$ is one whose solutions have positive lower bounds for large $t$, while a permanent dynamical system in $\mathbb{R}^d_{> 0}$ is one whose solutions have uniform upper and lower bounds for…
While compactness is an essential assumption for many results in dynamical systems theory, for many applications the state space is only locally compact. Here we provide a general theory for compactifying such systems, i.e. embedding them…
We show that attractors are semicontinuous for closed relations on compact Hausdorff spaces. Semicontinuity is what guarantees that small changes to a system do not result in massive growth of certain features, notably attractors. That is,…
We examine the dynamics of a particle in a general rotating quadratic potential, not necessarily stable or isotropic, using a general complex mode formalism. The problem is equivalent to that of a charged particle in a quadratic potential…
We study the transport properties of nonautonomous chaotic dynamical systems over a finite time duration. We are particularly interested in those regions that remain coherent and relatively non-dispersive over finite periods of time,…
Dipole-conserving fluids serve as examples of kinematically constrained systems that can be understood on the basis of symmetry. They are known to display various exotic features including glassylike dynamics, subdiffusive transport, and…
In this paper an approach is proposed to represent a class of dissipative mechanical systems by corresponding infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. This approach is based upon the following structure: for any non-conservative classical…
We study the topological dynamics by iterations of a piecewise continuous, non linear and locally contractive map in a real finite dimensional compact ball. We consider those maps satisfying the "separation property": different continuity…
In the present work, we propose a consistent and conservative model for multiphase and multicomponent incompressible flows, where there can be arbitrary numbers of phases and components. Each phase has a background fluid called the pure…

Following conservative solutions of the nonlinear variational wave equation $u_{tt}-c(u)(c(u)u_x)_x=0$ along forward and backward characteristics, we identify criteria, which guarantee that wave breaking either occurs in the nearby future…
This article is devoted to the study of a $2$-dimensional piecewise smooth (but possibly) discontinuous dynamical system, subject to a non-autonomous perturbation; we assume that the unperturbed system admits a homoclinic trajectory…
Remarkably persistent mixing and non-mixing regions (islands) are observed to coexist in a three-dimensional dynamical system where randomness is expected. The track of an x-ray opaque particle in a spherical shell half-filled with dry…
Constrained gradient flows are studied in fracture mechanics to describe strongly irreversible (or unidirectional) evolution of cracks. The present paper is devoted to a study on the long-time behavior of non-compact orbits of such…
We develop a deterministic large-time mechanism yielding Ces{\`a}ro asymptotic observability inequalities from moving localized observations for conservative evolutions. On each observation interval, exact convexification on a compact…
Continuous-time projected dynamical systems are an elementary class of discontinuous dynamical systems with trajectories that remain in a feasible domain by means of projecting outward-pointing vector fields. They are essential when…
We consider the motion of a point particle with spin in a stationary spacetime. We define, following Witzany (2019) and later Ramond (2022), a twelve dimensional Hamiltonian dynamical system whose orbits coincide with the solutions of the…
Infinitesimal volumes stretch and contract as they coevolve with classical phase space trajectories according to linearized dynamics. Unless these tangent-space dynamics are modified, chaotic evolution causes the volume spanned by evolving…
