We examine $3D$ flows $\mathbf{\dot{x}}=\mathbf{v}({\bf x})$ admitting vector identity $M\mathbf{v} = \nabla \times \mathbf{A}$ for a multiplier $M$ and a potential field $\mathbf{A}$. It is established that, for those systems, one can…

This paper introduces the notions of vector field and flow on a general differentiable stack. Our main theorem states that the flow of a vector field on a compact proper differentiable stack exists and is unique up to a uniquely determined…
Conley index theory is a very powerful tool in the study of dynamical systems, differential equations and bifurcation theory. In this paper, we make an attempt to generalize the Conley index to discrete random dynamical systems. And we…
There are two rather distinct approaches to Morse theory nowadays: smooth and discrete. We propose to study a real valued function by assembling all associated sections in a topological category. From this point of view, Reeb functions on…
We discuss the identification of attracting sets using combinatorial multivector fields (CMVF) from Conley-Morse-Forman theory. A CMVF is a dynamical system induced by the action of a continuous dynamical system on a phase space…
The present article is an exposition of a theory of discrete convex functions on certain graph structures, developed by the author in recent years. This theory is a spin-off of discrete convex analysis by Murota, and is motivated by…
In this paper we study topological and dynamical features of isolated invariant continua of continuous flows defined on surfaces. We show that near an isolated invariant continuum the flow is topologically equivalent to a C1 flow. We deduce…
Many dynamical systems can be described in terms of structured flows combining source/sink behavior, cyclic dynamics, and topology-constrained transport. These features arise across a wide range of domains, including physical, engineered,…
The main objective of this paper is to extend Morse-Forman theory to vector-valued functions. This is mostly motivated by the need to develop new tools and methods to compute multiparameter persistence. To generalize the theory, in addition…
In the class of Sobolev vector fields in $\mathbb{R}^n$ of bounded divergence, for which the theory of DiPerna and Lions provides a well defined notion of flow, we characterize the vector fields whose flow commute in terms of the Lie…

This study develops an effective theoretical framework that couples two vector fields: the velocity field $\mathbf{u}$ and an auxiliary vorticity field $\boldsymbol{\xi}$. Together, these fields form a larger conserved dynamical system.…
Given a finite set of data generated by an unknown ordinary differential equation it is impossible to exactly determine the associated vector field, and hence, bifurcation theory tells us that it is impossible, in general, to correctly…
Molecular dynamics simulation has been used to model pattern formation in three-dimensional Rayleigh--Benard convection at the discrete-particle level. Two examples are considered, one in which an almost perfect array of hexagonally-shaped…
Reminiscent of physical phase transitions separatrices divide the phase space of dynamical systems with multiple equilibria into regions of distinct flow behavior and asymptotics. We introduce complex time in order to study corresponding…
