The recent theoretical discovery of families of travelling wave solutions in pipe flow at Reynolds numbers lower than the transitional range naturally raises the question of their relevance to the turbulent transition process. Here a series…
The connective constant $\mu(G)$ of a quasi-transitive graph $G$ is the asymptotic growth rate of the number of self-avoiding walks (SAWs) on $G$ from a given starting vertex. We survey several aspects of the relationship between the…
A known failing of many popular random graph models is that the Aldous-Hoover Theorem guarantees these graphs are dense with probability one; that is, the number of edges grows quadratically with the number of nodes. This behavior is…
In this paper, we establish a variational principle, between the fiber Bowen's topological entropy on conditional level sets of Birkhoff average and fiber measure-theoretical entropy, for the skew product transformation driven by a uniquely…
In this paper we study percolation on a roughly transitive graph G with polynomial growth and isoperimetric dimension larger than one. For these graphs we are able to prove that p_c < 1, or in other words, that there exists a percolation…
We provide a data structure for maintaining an embedding of a graph on a surface (represented combinatorially by a permutation of edges around each vertex) and computing generators of the fundamental group of the surface, in amortized time…
Intermittent maps of the interval are simple and widely-studied models for chaos with slow mixing rates, but have been notoriously resistant to numerical study. In this paper we present an effective framework to compute many ergodic…
We study the dynamics of continuous maps on compact metric spaces containing a free interval (an open subset homeomorphic to the interval $(0,1)$). We provide a new proof of a result of M. Dirb\'ak, \v{L}. Snoha, V. \v{S}pitalsk\'y [Ergodic…
For a nonlinear Anosov diffeomorphism of the 2-torus, we present examples of measures so that the group of $\mu$-preserving diffeomorphisms is, up to zero-entropy transformations, cyclic. For families of equilibrium states $\mu$, we…
For every irreducible automorphism $\phi\in\text{SL}_3({\mathbb Z})$ of the $3$-torus, for which the product of the expanding eigenvalues is positive, we construct a pseudo-Anosov mapping $f$ of an associated surface, semi-conjugate and…
We have studied a chaotic transport in a two-dimensional periodic vortical flow under a time-dependent perturbation with period T where the global diffusion occurs along the stochastic web. By using the Melnikov method we construct the…
Let $M$ be a hyperbolic fibered 3-manifold with $b_1(M) \geq 2$ and let $S$ be a fiber with pseudo-Anosov monodromy $\psi$. We show that there exists a sequence $(R_n, \psi_n)$ of fibers and monodromies contained in the fibered cone of…
For every atoroidal iwip automorphism $\phi$ of $F_N$ (i.e. the analogue of a pseudo-Anosov mapping class) it is shown that the algebraic lamination dual to the forward limit tree $T_+(\phi)$ is obtained as "diagonal closure" of the support…
We provide sufficient conditions for smooth conjugacy between two Anosov endomorphisms on the 2-torus. From that, we also explore how the regularity of the stable and unstable foliations implies smooth conjugacy inside a class of…
We study a kinetically constrained Ising process (KCIP) associated with a graph G and density parameter p; this process is an interacting particle system with state space $\{0,1\}^{G}$. The stationary distribution of the KCIP Markov chain…
Many records in environmental sciences exhibit asymmetric trajectories and there is a need for simple and tractable models which can reproduce such features. In this paper we explore an approach based on applying both a time change and a…
Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) transport is inherently invariant under isometric transformations of the data. Having this property in mind, we propose to estimate dynamical systems by transfer operators derived from GW transport plans, when merely…
We prove uniform north-south dynamics type results for the action of $\varphi\in Out(F_{N})$ on the space of projectivized geodesic currents $\mathbb{P}Curr(S)=\mathbb{P}Curr(F_{N})$, where $\varphi$ is induced by a pseudo-Anosov…
A directed graph $G=(V,E)$ is {\it strongly pseudo transitive} if there is a partition $\{A,E-A\}$ of $E$ so that graphs $G_1=(V,A)$ and $G_2=(V,E-A)$ are transitive, and additionally, if $ab\in A$ and $bc\in E $ implies that $ac\in E$. A…
Due to data compression or low resolution, nearby vertices and edges of a graph drawing may be bundled to a common node or arc. We model such a `compromised' drawing by a piecewise linear map $\varphi:G\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$. We wish to…
