We prove that if a system has superpolynomial (faster than any power law) decay of correlations then the time $\tau_{r}(x,x_{0})$ needed for a typical point $x$ to enter for the first time a ball $B(x_{0},r)$ centered in $x_{0},$ with small…
In this note we prove that for equilibrium states of axiom A systems the time $\tau_{B}(x)$ needed for a typical point $x$ to enter for the first time in a typical ball $B$ with radius $r$ scales as $\tau_{B}(x)\sim r^{d}$ where $d$ is the…
We prove that if a system has superpolynomial (faster than any power law) decay of correlations (with respect to Lipschitz observables) then the time $\tau (x,S_{r})$ needed for a typical point $x$ to enter for the first time a set…
Let $\tau_r(x,x_0)$ be the time needed for a point $x$ to enter for the first time in a ball $B_r(x_0)$ centered in $x_0$, with small radius $r$. We construct a class of translations on the two torus having particular arithmetic properties…
Suppose $B_i:= B(p,r_i)$ are nested balls of radius $r_i$ about a point $p$ in a dynamical system $(T,X,\mu)$. The question of whether $T^i x\in B_i$ infinitely often (i. o.) for $\mu$ a.e.\ $x$ is often called the shrinking target problem.…
The work [8] established memory loss in the time-dependent (non-random) case of uniformly expanding maps of the interval. Here we find conditions under which we have convergence to the normal distribution of the appropriately scaled…
We derive a second-order accurate, non-staggered central scheme based on the well-known Nessyahu-Tadmor scheme to approximate solutions of coupled systems of nonlocal balance laws. We show that the approximate solutions stay bounded by an…
We consider the time optimal stabilization problem for a nonlinear control system $\dot x=f(x,u)$. Let $\tau(y)$ be the minimum time needed to steer the system from the state $y\in\R^n$ to the origin, and call $\A(T)$ the set of initial…
We study the central limit theorem in the non-normal domain of attraction to symmetric $\alpha$-stable laws for $0<\alpha\leq2$. We show that for i.i.d. random variables $X_i$, the convergence rate in $L^\infty$ of both the densities and…
We prove a new result in the area of hitting time statistics. Currently, there is a lot of papers showing that the first entry times into cylinders or balls are often faster than the Birkhoff's Ergodic Theorem would suggest. We provide an…
We consider the non autonomous dynamical system $\{\tau_{n}\},$ where $\tau_{n}$ is a continuous map $X\rightarrow X,$ and $X$ is a compact metric space. We assume that $\{\tau_{n}\}$ converges uniformly to $\tau .$ The inheritance of…
Stochastic dynamical systems consisting of non-invertible continuous maps on an interval are studied. It is proved that if they satisfy the recently introduced so-called $\mu$-injectivity and some mild assumptions, then proximality,…
This paper studies stabilization of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems when control actions can only be realized in finitely many directions where it is possible to actuate uniformly or logarithmically extended positive scaling factors in…
We provide several characterizations of convergence to unstable equilibria in nonlinear systems. Our current contribution is three-fold. First we present simple algebraic conditions for establishing local convergence of non-trivial…
The approach to equilibrium for systems interacting with their environment by being regularly exposed to low energy, low intensity pulses of some type of quanta is studied. Assuming a randomness condition on the interaction of these quanta…
We consider a class of consensus systems driven by a nonlinear input. Such systems arise in a class of IoT applications. Our objective in this paper is to determine conditions under which a certain partially distributed system converges to…
We study the number of visits to balls B_r(x), up to time t/mu(B_r(x)), for a class of non-uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems, where mu is the SRB measure. Outside a set of `bad' centers x, we prove that this number is approximately…
We study the convergence behavior of the stochastic heavy-ball method with a small stepsize. Under a change of time scale, we approximate the discrete method by a stochastic differential equation that models small random perturbations of a…
We study the problem of the approach to equilibrium in a macroscopic quantum system in an abstract setting. We prove that, for a typical choice of "nonequilibrium subspace", any initial state (from the energy shell) thermalizes, and in fact…
Under reasonable algebraic assumptions and under an infinite second order moment assumption, we show that the logarithm of the norm (log-norm) of a product of random i.i.d. matrices with entries in $\mathbb{R}$ or in any other local field…
