In this paper we estimate the minimal controllability time for a class of non-linear control systems with a bounded convex state constraint. An explicit expression is given for the controllability time if the image of the control matrix is…

An important problem in the theory of finite dynamical systems is to link the structure of a system with its dynamics. This paper contains such a link for a family of nonlinear systems over an arbitrary finite field. For systems that can be…
We show that a topological dynamical system is either minimal or have positive topological entropy. Moreover, for equicontinuous systems, we show that topological transitivity, minimality and orbit gluing property are equivalent. These…

In this paper, we consider composite networks formed from the Kronecker product of smaller networks. We find the observability and controllability properties of the product network from those of its constituent smaller networks. The overall…
We introduce notions of vector field and its (discrete time) flow on a chain complex. The resulting dynamical systems theory provides a set of tools with a broad range of applicability that allow, among others, to replace in a canonical way…

We study topological conditions ensuring the presence of rotational chaos for non-wandering or area-preserving annular homeomorphisms. Compared to previous criteria, our main result provides a simpler alternative that avoids the need to…
Observing how long a dynamical system takes to return to some state is one of the most simple ways to model and quantify its dynamics from data series. This work proposes two formulas to estimate the KS entropy and a lower bound of it, a…
A general method for constructing simplicial complex from observed time series of dynamical systems based on the delay coordinate reconstruction procedure is presented. The obtained simplicial complex preserves all pertinent topological…
A topological dynamical system $(X,f)$ is said to be multi-transitive if for every $n\in\mathbb{N}$ the system $(X^{n}, f\times f^{2}\times \dotsb\times f^{n})$ is transitive. We introduce the concept of multi-transitivity with respect to a…
We construct examples of minimal and uniquely ergodic systems realizing all possible behaviors in the interplay of measurable and topological nilfactors. To build such examples, we adapt an idea that stems from Furstenberg's construction of…
This paper concerns the small-time stabilization of some classes of mechanical systems which are not stabilizable by means of at least continuous state feedback laws. This is the case of nonholonomic mechanical systems, an example being the…
We prove that every flat nonlinear discrete-time system can be decomposed by coordinate transformations into a smaller-dimensional subsystem and an endogenous dynamic feedback. For flat continuous-time systems, no comparable result is…
A central question in dynamics is whether the topology of a system determines its geometry. This is known as rigidity. Under mild topological conditions rigidity holds for many classical cases, including: Kleinian groups, circle…
Studies of periodically driven one-dimensional many-body systems have advanced our understanding of complex systems and stimulated promising developments in quantum simulation. It is hence of interest to go one step further, by…
Let $M$ be an orientable connected closed surface and $f$ be an $R$-closed homeomorphism on $M$ which is isotopic to identity. Then the suspension of $f$ satisfies one of the following condition: 1) the closure of each element of it is…
We introduce a notion of minimal uniform attractor for nonautonomous random dynamical systems, which depends jointly on time and on a random parameter. Several examples are provided to illustrate the concept and to compare it with existing…
This article is concerned with Kronecker flows on the infinite torus. The work is partly motivated by the fact that many Hamiltonian PDEs and systems on infinite lattices admit invariant tori, of possibly infinite dimension, on which the…
