Many physical systems are formulated on domains which are relatively large in some directions but relatively thin in other directions. We expect such systems to have emergent structures that vary slowly over the large dimensions. Common…

In this paper we discuss mechanical systems with inequality constraints. We demonstrate how such constraints can be taken into account by proper modification of the action which describes the original unconstrained dynamics. To illustrate…
Forced oscillation (FO) is a significant concern threating the power system stability. Its mechanisms are mostly studied via linear models. However, FO amplitude is increasing, e.g., Nordic and Western American FOs, which can stimulate…

The study of spin-glass dynamics, long considered the paradigmatic complex system, has reached important milestones. The availability of single crystals has allowed the experimental measurement of spin-glass coherence lengths of almost…
Overdamped stochastic systems maintained far from equilibrium can display sustained oscillations with fluctuations that decrease with the system size. The correlation time of such noisy limit cycles expressed in units of the cycle period is…
We study the entanglement dynamics of two coupled mechanical oscillators, within a modulated optomechanical system. We find that, depending on the strength of the mechanical coupling, one could observe either a stationary or a dynamical…
The overall goal of this thesis is to investigate the connection between the dynamics and structure of molecular glass formers, by testing different scaling laws for both. The inspiration for this work is the Isomorph theory because it…

Power law is one of the the simplest forms of the relationship between different variables of a system. It leads naturally to the introduction of compound parameters describing physical properties of the system. Often one of the variables…
