The aim of these notes is threefold. First, we discuss geometrical aspects of conformal covariance in stochastic Schramm-Loewner evolutions (SLEs). This leads us to introduce new ``dipolar'' SLEs, besides the known chordal, radial or…
Biological systems can rely on collective formation of a metachronal wave in an ensemble of oscillators for locomotion and for fluid transport. We consider one-dimensional chains of phase oscillators with nearest neighbor interactions,…
Search for possible relationships between phylogeny and ontogeny is one of the most important issues in the field of evolutionary developmental biology. By representing developmental dynamics of spatially located cells with gene expression…
Based on a recently proposed non-equilibrium mechanism for spatial pattern formation [cond-mat/0312366] we study how morphogenesis can be controlled by locally coupled discrete dynamical networks, similar to gene regulation networks of…
This paper is a short review of the connection between certain types of growth processes and the integrable systems theory, written from the viewpoint of the latter. Starting from the dispersionless Lax equations for the 2D Toda hierarchy,…
We studied quantum phase transitions in the antiferromagnetic dimerized spin-1/2 XY chain andvtwo-leg ladders. From analysis of several spin models we present our main result: the framework to deal with topological orders and hidden…
A group theoretical formulation of Schramm--Loewner-evolution-type growth processes corresponding to Wess--Zumino--Witten theories is developed that makes it possible to construct stochastic differential equations associated with more…
We numerically test the correspondence between the scaling limit of self-avoiding walks (SAW) in the plane and Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) with k=8/3. We introduce a discrete-time process approximating SLE in the exterior of the unit…
The Loewner energy of a Jordan curve is the Dirichlet energy of its Loewner driving term. It is finite if and only if the curve is a Weil-Petersson quasicircle. In this paper, we describe cutting and welding operations on finite Dirichlet…
We study the stability of linear fractional order maps. We show that in the stable region, the evolution is described by Mittag-Leffler functions and a well defined effective Lyapunov exponent can be obtained in these cases. For…
This paper revisits a recently developed methodology based on the matrix Lambert W function for the stability analysis of linear time invariant, time delay systems. By studying a particular, yet common, second order system, we show that in…
The paper develops a second-order time-domain moment matching framework for the structure-preserving model reduction of second-order dynamical systems of high dimension, avoiding the first-order double-sized equivalent system. The moments…
We discuss a class of models that generalize the two-state Landau-Zener (LZ) Hamiltonian to both the multistate and multitime evolution. It is already known that the corresponding quantum mechanical evolution can be understood in great…
We revisit the Bieberbach conjecture in the framework of SLE processes and, more generally, L\'evy processes. The study of their unbounded whole-plane versions leads to a discrete series of exact results for the expectations of coefficients…
In this paper, we present a variational treatment of the linear dependence for a non-orthogonal time-dependent basis set in solving the Schr\"odinger equation. The method is based on: i) the definition of a linearly independent working…
Networks of coupled phase oscillators are one of the most studied dynamical systems with numerous applications in physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. Their behaviour is often characterized by the emergence of various partially…
We present a generic threshold model for the co-evolution of the structure of a network and the state of its nodes. We focus on regular directed networks and derive equations for the evolution of the system toward its absorbing state. It is…
This is a complete study of the dynamics of polynomial planar vector fields whose linear part is a multiple of the identity and whose nonlinear part is a contracting homogeneous polynomial. The contracting nonlinearity provides the…
It has long been posited that there is a connection between the dynamical equations describing evolutionary processes in biology and sequential Bayesian learning methods. This manuscript describes new research in which this precise…
We study the phase-ordering kinetics of the one-dimensional Heisenberg model with conserved order parameter, by means of scaling arguments and numerical simulations. We find a rich dynamical pattern with a regime characterized by two…
