We define Poincar\'{e} profiles of Dirichlet type for graphs of bounded degree, in analogy with the Poincar\'{e} profiles (of Neumann type) defined in [HMT19]. The obvious first definition yields nothing of interest, but an alternative…
Recall that a vector field on an n-dimensional differentiable manifold M is a mapping X defined on M with values in the tangent bundle TM that assigns to each point $x\in M$ a vector X(x) in the tangent space $T_x M$. A vector field may be…
We present a higher-dimensional version of the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff theorem which applies to Poincar\'e time maps of Hamiltonian systems. The maps under consideration are neither required to be close to the identity nor to have a monotone…
The study of diffusion in Hamiltonian systems has been a problem of interest for a number of years. In this paper we explore the influence of self-consistency on the diffusion properties of systems described by coupled symplectic maps.…
For an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the sphere, we prove that if a translation line does not accumulate in a fixed point, then it necessarily spirals towards a topological attractor. This is in analogy with the description of…
We study first order equations of continuity and transport type on metric spaces of martingale dimension one, including finite metric graphs, p.c.f. self-similar sets and classical Sierpi\'nski carpets. On such spaces solutions of the…
For a differentiable map $(x_1,x_2,..., x_n)\to (X_1,X_2,..., X_n)$ that has an inverse, we show that there exists a Nambu-Hamiltonian flow in which one of the initial value, say $x_n$, of the map plays the role of time variable while the…
Hamiltonian flows on compact surfaces are characterized, and the topological invariants of such flows with finitely many singular points are constructed from the viewpoints of integrable systems, fluid mechanics, and dynamical systems.…
The diffusion equation is the primary tool to study the movement dynamics of a free Brownian particle, but when spatial heterogeneities in the form of permeable interfaces are present, no fundamental equation has been derived. Here we…
Many important qualities of plasma confinement devices can be determined via the Poincar\'e plot of a symplectic return map. These qualities include the locations of periodic orbits, magnetic islands, and chaotic regions of phase space.…
The paper deals with first order self-adjoint elliptic differential operators on a smooth compact oriented surface with non-empty boundary. We consider such operators with self-adjoint local boundary conditions. The paper is focused on…
Non-linear maps can possess various dynamical behaviors varying from stable steady states and cycles to chaotic oscillations. Most models assume that individuals within a given population are identical ignoring the fundamental role of…
This paper is concerned with the study of a model case of first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations posed on a "junction", that is to say the union of a finite number of half-lines with a unique common point. The main result is a comparison…
Macroscopic traffic models are necessary for simulation and study of traffic's complex macro-scale dynamics, and are often used by practitioners for road network planning, integrated corridor management, and other applications. These models…
We consider an infinite system of quasilinear first-order partial differential equations, generalized to contain spacial integration, which describes an incompressible fluid mixture of infinite components in a line segment whose motion is…
A dynamical system framework is used to describe transport processes in plasmas embedded in a magnetic field. For periodic systems with one degree of freedom the Poincar\'e map provides a splitting of the phase space into regions where…
We outline a general theory for the analysis of flow-distributed standing and travelling wave patterns in one-dimensional, open plug-flows of oscillatory chemical media. We treat both the amplitude and phase dynamics of small and…
The construction of a cost minimal network for flows obeying physical laws is an important problem for the design of electricity, water, hydrogen, and natural gas infrastructures. We formulate this problem as a mixed-integer non-linear…
In this paper we investigate effects of boundary conditions on one dimensional pedestrian flow which involves purely longitudinal interactions. Qualitatively, stop-and-go waves are observed under closed boundary condition and dissolve when…
This paper shows how particle hopping models fit into the context of traffic flow theory. Connections between fluid-dynamical traffic flow models, which derive from the Navier-Stokes-equations, and particle hopping models are shown. In some…
