Given a one-dimensional dynamical system we study its cover time, which quantifies the rate at which orbits become dense in the state space. Using transfer operator tools for dynamical systems with holes and inducing techniques, for a wide…
We apply periodic orbit theory to study the asymptotic distribution of escape times from an intermittent map. The dynamical zeta function exhibits a branch point which is associated with an asymptotic power law escape. By an analytic…

We deal with the orbit determination problem for hyperbolic maps. The problem consists in determining the initial conditions of an orbit and, eventually, other parameters of the model from some observations. We study the behaviour of the…
The spectral fluctuations of a quantum Hamiltonian system with time-reversal symmetry are studied in the semiclassical limit by using periodic-orbit theory. It is found that, if long periodic orbits are hyperbolic and uniformly distributed…
This paper gives a summary of a body of work at the intersection of control theory and smooth nonlinear dynamics. The main idea is to transfer the concept of uniform hyperbolicity, central to the theory of smooth dynamical systems, to…
We prove that a bounded operator $T$ on a separable Banach space $X$ satisfying a strong form of the Frequent Hypercyclicity Criterion (which implies in particular that the operator is universal in the sense of Glasner and Weiss) admits…
The study of escape rates for a ball in a dynamical systems has been much studied. Understanding the asymptotic behavior of the escape rate as the radius of the ball tends to zero is an especially subtle problem. In the case of hyperbolic…
Periodic orbit theory provides two important functions---the dynamical zeta function and the spectral determinant for the calculation of dynamical averages in a nonlinear system. Their cycle expansions converge rapidly when the system is…
We study hyperbolic systems of one-dimensional partial differential equations under general, possibly non-local boundary conditions. A large class of evolution equations, either on individual 1-dimensional intervals or on general networks,…
Establishing the existence of periodic orbits is one of the crucial and most intricate topics in the study of dynamical systems, and over the years, many methods have been developed to this end. On the other hand, finding closed orbits in…
We investigate the recurrence properties of the time series of quantum mechanical expectation values, in terms of two representative models for a single-mode radiation field interacting with a nonlinear medium. From recurrence-time…
We study dynamics in a neighborhood of a nonhyperbolic fixed point or an irreducible homoclinic tangent point. General type conditions for the existence of infinite sets of periodic points are obtained. A new method, based on the study of…
We study the existence and uniqueness of (locally) absolutely continuous trajectories of a dynamical system governed by a nonexpansive operator. The weak convergence of the orbits to a fixed point of the operator is investigated by relying…
We study discrete dynamical systems through the topological concepts of limit set, which consists of all points that can be reached arbitrarily late, and asymptotic set, which consists of all adhering values of orbits. In particular, we…
Analyzing the dynamics of open quantum systems has a long history in mathematics and physics. Depending on the system at hand, basic physical phenomena that one would like to explain are, for example, convergence to equilibrium, the…
The framework of joint typical periodic optimization, in which both the dynamical system and the potential function are allowed to vary simultaneously, was introduced in [HHJL25], in a direction motivated by the work of Yang, Hunt & Ott…
We study the transport properties of nonautonomous chaotic dynamical systems over a finite time duration. We are particularly interested in those regions that remain coherent and relatively non-dispersive over finite periods of time,…
This is a lightning introduction to some modern techniques used in the study of the statistical properties of hyperbolic dynamical systems. The emphasis is not in presenting a comprehensive theory but rather in fleshing out the main ideas…
The Melnikov method is applied to periodically perturbed open systems modeled by an inverse--square--law attraction center plus a quadrupolelike term. A compactification approach that regularizes periodic orbits at infinity is introduced.…
