We study kink-antikink collisions in a model which interpolates smoothly between the completely integrable sine-Gordon theory, the $\phi^4$ model, and a $\phi^6$-like model with three degenerate vacua. We find a rich variety of behaviours,…
We consider both the dynamics within and towards the supercycle attractors along the period-doubling route to chaos to analyze the development of a statistical-mechanical structure. In this structure the partition function consists of the…
Kink-antikink scattering in the $\phi^4$ model is investigated in the limit when the static inter-soliton force vanishes. We observe the formation of spectral walls and, further, identify a new phenomenon, the vacuum wall, whose existence…
In this work, we study kink collisions in a scalar field model with scalar-kinetic coupling. This model supports kink/antikink solutions with inner structure in the energy density. The collision of two such kinks is simulated by using the…
Fractal dimensions have been used as a quantitative measure for structure of eigenstates of quantum many-body systems, useful for comparison to random matrix theory predictions or to distinguish many-body localized systems from chaotic…
If a point particle moves chaotically through a periodic array of scatterers the associated transport coefficients are typically irregular functions under variation of control parameters. For a piecewise linear two-parameter map we analyze…

A system presenting fractal structure in its thermodynamical functions is introduced, and it is shown that Tsallis statistics is the correct framework for describing the thermodynamical aspects of such fractal. Its Haussdorf dimension and…
The local structure of a fractal set is described by its dimension $D$, which is the exponent of a power-law relating the mass ${\cal N}$ in a ball to its radius $\epsilon$: ${\cal N}\sim \epsilon^D$. It is desirable to characterise the…
We survey recent developments in fractal analysis of regular and slow-fast dynamical systems using Minkowski dimension. Our focus is on spiral trajectories near monodromic limit periodic sets in regular systems and entry-exit sequences in…
The slow motion of a crack line is studied via an experiment in which sheets of paper are split into two halves in a ``peel-in-nip'' (PIN) geometry under a constant load, in creep. The velocity-force relation is exponential. The dynamics of…
We show that when the standard techniques for calculating fractal dimensions in empirical data (such as the box counting) are applied on uniformly random structures, apparent fractal behavior is observed in a range between physically…
The role played by non-extensive thermodynamics in physical systems has been under intense debate for the last decades. Some possible mechanisms that could give rise to non-extensive statistics have been formulated along the last few years,…
The evolution and spatial structure of displacement fronts in fractures with self-affine rough walls are studied by numerical simulations. The fractures are open and the two faces are identical but shifted along their mean plane, either…
