We present extensive numerical investigations on the ergodic properties of two identical Pomeau-Manneville maps interacting on the unit square through a diffusive linear coupling. The system exhibits anomalous statistics, as expected, but…

In \cite{Ch91a} it was shown that the billiard ball map for the periodic Lorentz gas has infinite topological entropy. In this article we study the set of points with infinite Lyapunov exponents. Using the cell structure developed in…
First principles should predetermine physical geometry and dynamics both together. In the "algebrodynamics" they follow solely from the properties of the biquaternion algebra $\B$ and the analysis over $\B$. We briefly present the…
We investigate theoretically and numerically the effect of polymer additives on two-dimensional turbulence by means of a viscoelastic model. We provide compelling evidence that at vanishingly small concentrations, such that the polymers are…
In this work, we study ergodic properties of certain partially hyperbolic attractors whose central direction has a neutral behavior, the main feature is a condition of transversality between unstable leaves when projected by the stable…
In this work, we consider the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system, linearized around a spatially homogeneous equilibrium, set in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^3 \times \mathbb{R}^3$. The equilibrium is assumed to belong to a class of radial,…

We consider uniformly (DC) or periodically (AC) driven generalized infinite elastic chains (a generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model) with gradient dynamics. We first show that the union of supports of all the invariant measures, denoted by A,…
The Kraichnan flow provides an example of a random dynamical system accessible to an exact analysis. We study the evolution of the infinitesimal separation between two Lagrangian trajectories of the flow. Its long-time asymptotics is…
In probability density function (PDF) methods a transport equation is solved numerically to compute the time and space dependent probability distribution of several flow variables in a turbulent flow. The joint PDF of the velocity…
We conjecture that in one-dimensional spatially extended systems the propagation velocity of correlations coincides with a zero of the convective Lyapunov spectrum. This conjecture is successfully tested in three different contexts: (i) a…
As a model to provide a hands-on, elementary understanding of "vortex dynamics", we introduce a piecewise linear non-invertible map called a twisted baker map. We show that the set of hyperbolic repelling periodic points with complex…
A model for a lattice of coupled cat maps has been recently introduced. This new and specific choice of the coupling makes the description especially easy and nontrivial quantities as Lyapunov exponents determined exactly. We studied the…

Incompressible, inviscid, irrotational, and unsteady flows with circulation $\Gamma$ around a distorted toroidal bubble are considered. A general variational principle that determines the evolution of the bubble shape is formulated. For a…

Turbulence and chaos play a fundamental role in stellar convective zones through the transportof particles, energy and momentum, and in fast dynamos, through the stretching, twisting and folding of magnetic flux tubes. A particularly…
