Lattice-linearity was introduced as a way to model problems using predicates that induce a lattice among the global states (Garg, SPAA 2020). A key property of \textit{the predicate} representing such problems is that it induces…

Topological mechanical metamaterials have enabled new ways to control stress and deformation propagation. Exemplified by Maxwell lattices, they have been studied extensively using a linearized formalism. Herein, we study a two-dimensional…

Continuum lattice grid structures which consist of joined elastic beams subject to flexural deformations are ubiquitous. In this work, we establish a theoretical framework of the topological dynamics of continuum lattice grid structures,…

Time has entered the domain of topological phases in the field of non-Hermitian physics. Previous studies have relied on periodic modulation in time to make an intuitive connection to established spatial topological invariants, albeit with…

Symbolic dynamics, which partitions an infinite number of finite-length trajectories into a finite number of trajectory sets, describes the dynamics of a system in a simplified and coarse-grained way with a limited number of symbols. The…
