A well-behaved adjoint sensitivity technique for chaotic dynamical systems is presented. The method arises from the specialisation of established variational techniques to the unstable periodic orbits of the system. On such trajectories,…
The dynamics of transitional flows are governed by an interplay between the non-normal linear dynamics and quadratic nonlinearity in the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. In this work, we propose a framework for nonlinear stability…

In amorphous solids at finite temperatures the particles follow chaotic trajectories which, at temperatures sufficiently lower than the glass transition, are trapped in "cages". Averaging their positions for times shorter than the diffusion…
We consider potential type dynamical systems in finite dimensions with two meta-stable states. They are subject to two sources of perturbation: a slow external periodic perturbation of period $T$ and a small Gaussian random perturbation of…
We investigate the stability of the flow past two side-by-side square cylinders (at Reynolds number 200 and gap ratio 1) using tools from dynamical systems theory. The flow is highly irregular due to the complex interaction between the…
Hyperexponential stability is investigated for dynamical systems with the use of both, explicit and implicit, Lyapunov function methods. A nonlinear hyperexponential control is designed for stabilizing linear systems. The tuning procedure…

We compute the full Lyapunov spectra for a hard-disk fluid under temperature gradient and shear. The system is thermalized by deterministic and time-reversible scattering at the boundary. This thermostating mechanism allows for energy…
As CMOS technology scales down, thermal fluctuations increasingly impact circuit behavior, posing challenges to conventional circuit design. However, the inherent stochasticity introduced by thermal noise is now being explored as a…
Gas-solid multiphase flows are prone to develop an instability known as clustering. Two-fluid models, which treat the particulate phase as a continuum, are known to reproduce the qualitative features of this instability, producing…
The transition from a chaotic to a periodic oscillatory state can be smooth or abrupt in real-world turbulent systems. Although there have been several mathematical studies, the occurrence of abrupt transitions in real-world systems such as…
Using a simple thermo-hydrodynamic model that respects relativistic causality, we revisit the analysis of qualitative features of acoustic oscillations in the photon-baryon fluid. The growing photon mean free path introduces transient…

Recent studies about collisionless shocks in partially ionized plasmas showed that some of neutral particles leak into the shock upstream region from the downstream region. In this paper, we perform a linear analysis and show that acoustic…
The archetypal system demonstrating stochastic resonance is nothing more than a threshold triggered device. It consists of a periodic modulated input and noise. Every time an output crosses the threshold the signal is recorded. Such a…
