We develop a new approach to recurrence and the existence of non-constant harmonic functions on infinite weighted graphs. The approach is based on the capacity of subsets of metric boundaries with respect to intrinsic metrics. The main tool…
The aim of this work is to propose a provably convergent finite volume scheme for the so-called Stefan-Maxwell model, which describes the evolution of the composition of a multi-component mixture and reads as a cross-diffusion system. The…
Entropy in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics is investigated theoretically so as to extend the well-established equilibrium framework to open nonequilibrium systems. We first derive a microscopic expression of nonequilibrium entropy for…
We present a new methodology for the characterization of the metric entropy of infinite-dimensional ellipsoids with exponentially decaying semi-axes. This procedure does not rely on the explicit construction of coverings or packings and…

In this paper, we extend the definition of qx-asymptotic function, for extended real-valued function that define on an infinite dimensional topological normed space without lower semicontinuity or quasi-convexity condition. As the main…
We define a hierarchy of systems with topological completely positive entropy in the context of continuous countable amenable group actions on compact metric spaces. For each countable ordinal we construct a dynamical system on the…
Entropy is useful in statistical problems as a measure of irreversibility, randomness, mixing, dispersion, and number of microstates. However, there remains ambiguity over the precise mathematical formulation of entropy, generalized beyond…
First-order methods are often analyzed via their continuous-time models, where their worst-case convergence properties are usually approached via Lyapunov functions. In this work, we provide a systematic and principled approach to find and…

We use the complexity function of an invariant, not necessary closed, subset of a two-sided shift space to compute the polynomial entropy of the induced dynamics on the hyperspace of continua for certain one-dimensional dynamical systems.…
We study the convergence analysis of continuous-time dynamical systems associated with optimization methods for strongly convex functions. Recent works have proposed systematic constructions of Lyapunov functions for such analysis, while…
The Chirikov standard map family is a one-parameter family of volume-preserving maps exhibiting hyperbolicity on a `large' but noninvariant subset of phase space. Based on this predominant hyperbolicity and numerical experiments, it is…
We establish the existence and finiteness of equilibrium states for a class of partially hyperbolic endomorphisms. In our first result, we assume that the central direction is simple. In the second result, we consider the case where there…
We continue our study of the dynamics of mappings with small topological degree on (projective) complex surfaces. Previously, under mild hypotheses, we have constructed an ergodic ``equilibrium'' measure for each such mapping. Here we study…
We present a general definition of entropy in the setting of pre-ordered semigroups, extending the notion of topological entropy. From our definition, we obtain the basic properties exhibited by various entropy-like theories encountered in…
We study in this paper real-valued functions on the space of all sub-$\sigma$-algebras of a probability measure space, and introduce the notion of Kudo-continuity, which is an a priori strengthening of continuity with respect to strong…
