We introduce a class of orbits which may have $0$ Lyapunov exponents, but still demonstrate some sensitivity to initial conditions. We construct a countable Markov partition with a finite-to-one almost everywhere induced coding, and which…
We consider the simple random walk in i.i.d. nonnegative potentials on the $d$-dimensional cubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ ($d \geq 1$). In this model, the so-called Lyapunov exponent describes the cost of traveling for the simple random walk…
We study random dynamical systems generated by volume-preserving piecewise $C^{1}$ maps. For this class of systems, we establish an invariance principle stating that if all Lyapunov exponents vanish, then there exists a measurable family of…
For a one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operator with a weakly coupled potential given by a strongly mixing dynamical system with power law decay of correlations, we derive for all energies including the band edges and the band center…
Generic dynamical systems have `typical' Lyapunov exponents, measuring the sensitivity to small perturbations of almost all trajectories. A generic system has also trajectories with exceptional values of the exponents, corresponding to…
We study Langevin dynamics of $N$ particles on $R^d$ interacting through a singular repulsive potential, e.g.~the well-known Lennard-Jones type, and show that the system converges to the unique invariant Gibbs measure exponentially fast in…
In this paper we first obtain a formula of averaged Lyapunov exponents for ergodic Szego cocycles via the Herman-Avila-Bochi formula. Then using acceleration, we construct a class of analytic quasi-periodic Szego cocycles with uniformly…
We establish the existence of a full spectrum of Lyapunov exponents for memoryless random dynamical systems with absorption. To this end, we crucially embed the process conditioned to never being absorbed, the $Q$-process, into the…
We study a linear cocycle over irrational rotation $\sigma_{\omega}(x) = x + \omega$ of a circle $\mathbb{T}^{1}$. It is supposed the cocycle is generated by a $C^{1}$-map $A_{\varepsilon}: \mathbb{T}^{1} \to SL(2, \mathbb{R})$ which…
We study Schrodinger operators with a one-frequency analytic potential, focusing on the transition between the two distinct local regimes characteristic respectively of large and small potentials. From the dynamical point of view, the…
The Lyapunov exponents of a chaotic system quantify the exponential divergence of initially nearby trajectories. For Hamiltonian systems the exponents are related to the eigenvalues of a symplectic matrix. We make use of this fact to…
We study proximal random dynamical systems of homeomorphisms of the circle without a common fixed point. We prove the existence of two random points that govern the behavior of the forward and backward orbits of the system. Assuming the…
In this paper, we study the problem of state observation of nonlinear systems over an erasure channel. The notion of mean square exponential stability is used to analyze the stability property of observer error dynamics. The main results of…
We carry out extensive computer simulations to study the Lyapunov instability of a two-dimensional hard disk system in a rectangular box with periodic boundary conditions. The system is large enough to allow the formation of Lyapunov modes…
Motivated by the work of D. Y. Kleinbock, E. Lindenstrauss, G. A. Margulis, and B. Weiss, we explore the Diophantine properties of probability measures invariant under the Gauss map. Specifically, we prove that every such measure which has…
We consider products of matrices of the form $A_n=O_n+\epsilon N_n$ where $O_n$ is a sequence of $d\times d$ orthogonal matrices and $N_n$ has independent standard normal entries and the $(N_n)$ are mutually independent. We study the…
This is a survey of known results on estimating the principal Lyapunov exponent of a time-dependent linear differential equation possessing some monotonicity properties. Equations considered are mainly strongly cooperative systems of…
The statistical properties of finite-time Lyapunov exponents at the Ulam point of the logistic map are investigated. The exact analytical expression for the autocorrelation function of one-step Lyapunov exponents is obtained, allowing the…
Complete Lyapunov functions for a dynamical system, given by an autonomous ordinary differential equation, are scalar-valued functions that are strictly decreasing along orbits outside the chain-recurrent set. In this paper we show that we…
We consider the linear cocycle $(T,A)$ induced by a measure preserving dynamical system $T:X \to X$ and a map $A:X \to \mathit{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$. We address the dependence of the upper Lyapunov exponent of $(T,A)$ on the dynamics $T$ when…
