The purpose of this paper is to study the dynamics of a square billiard with a non-standard reflection law such that the angle of reflection of the particle is a linear contraction of the angle of incidence. We present numerical and…
We initiate a quantitative exploration of the entire landscape. Predictions thus far have focused on subsets of landscape vacua that share most properties with our own. Using the entropic principle (the assumption that entropy production…
The topological structure of basin boundaries plays a fundamental role in the sensitivity to the initial conditions in chaotic dynamical systems. Herewith we present a study on the dynamics of dissipative systems close to the Hamiltonian…
Let $f\colon \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}$ be a transcendental entire map from the Eremenko-Lyubich class $\mathcal{B}$, and let $\zeta$ be an attracting periodic point of period $p$. We prove that the boundaries of components of the…

We prove that the boundary of a component $U$ of the basin of an attracting periodic cycle (of period greater than 1) for an exponential map on the complex plane has Hausdorff dimension greater than 1 and less than 2. Moreover, the set of…
In this paper we consider the stochastic six-vertex model on a cylinder with arbitrary initial data. First, we show that it exhibits a limit shape in the thermodynamic limit, whose density profile is given by the entropy solution to an…
We study the equilibrium configurations of a possibly asymmetric fluid-structure-interaction problem. The fluid is confined in a bounded planar channel and is governed by the stationary Navier-Stokes equations with laminar inflow and…
In this paper, we consider a problem inspired by the real-world need to identify the topographical features of ocean basins. Specifically we consider the problem of estimating the bottom impermeable boundary to an inviscid, incompressible,…
We consider the dynamics of N bosons in one dimension. We assume that the pair interaction is attractive and given by N^{\beta -1}V(N^{\beta}\cdot) where \int V\leqslant 0. We develop new techniques in treating the N-body Hamiltonian so…
We analyze the dynamics of the flow generated by a nonlinear parabolic problem when some reaction and potential terms are concentrated in a neighborhood of the boundary. We assume that this neighborhood shrinks to the boundary as a…
For a one-dimensional spin chain with random local interactions, we prove that many-body localization follows from a physically reasonable assumption that limits the amount of level attraction in the system. The construction uses a sequence…
An exterior space is a topological space provided with a quasi-filter of open subsets (closed by finite intersections). In this work, we analyze some relations between the notion of an exterior space and the notion of a discrete semi-flow.…
We derive bounds on the volume of an inclusion in a body in two or three dimensions when the conductivities of the inclusion and the surrounding body are complex and assumed to be known. The bounds are derived in terms of average values of…
In this paper, we examine the relationship between the stability of the dynamical system $x^{\prime}=f(x)$ and the computability of its basins of attraction. We present a computable $C^{\infty}$ system $x^{\prime}=f(x)$ that possesses a…
It is known that sectional-hyperbolic attracting sets, for a $C^2$ flow on a finite dimensional compact manifold, have at most finitely many ergodic physical invariant probability measures. We prove an upper bound for the number of distinct…
The stationary states of few bosons in a one-dimensional harmonic trap are investigated throughout the crossover from weak to strongly attractive interactions. For sufficient attraction, three different classes of states emerge: (i) N-body…
In this paper, the problem of state and input constrained control is addressed, with multidimensional constraints. We obtain a local description of the boundary of the admissible subset of the state space where the state and input…
We study point sets arising from cut-and-project constructions. An important class is weak model sets, which include squarefree numbers and visible lattice points. For such model sets, we give a non-trivial upper bound on their pattern…
We consider the secant method $S_p$ applied to a real polynomial $p$ of degree $d+1$ as a discrete dynamical system on $\mathbb R^2$. If the polynomial $p$ has a local extremum at a point $\alpha$ then the discrete dynamical system…
