Even the most simplified models of falling and gliding bodies exhibit rich nonlinear dynamical behavior. Taking a global view of the dynamics of one such model, we find an attracting invariant manifold that acts as the dominant organizing…
In order to determine the dynamics of nonautonomous equations both their forward and pullback behavior need to be understood. For this reason we provide sufficient criteria for the existence of such attracting invariant sets in a general…
We study a one-dimensional totally asymmetric exclusion process with random particle attachments and detachments in the bulk. The resulting dynamics leads to unexpected stationary regimes for large but finite systems. Such regimes are…
The generic linear evolution of the density matrix of a system with a finite-dimensional state space is by stochastic maps which take a density matrix linearly into the set of density matrices. These dynamical stochastic maps form a linear…

We study the existence and stability of propagating fronts in Meinhardt's multivariable reaction-diffusion model of branching in one spatial dimension. We identify a saddle-node-infinite-period (SNIPER) bifurcation of fronts that leads to…
We introduce a new velocity selection criterion for fronts propagating into unstable and metastable states. We restrict these fronts to large finite intervals in the comoving frame of reference and require their centers be insensitive to…
We study traveling waves in a coordinate-free model of flame fronts. The flame front is the interface between the burnt and unburnt phases of a gas undergoing combustion. The front therefore moves in a preferred direction, as the unburnt…
We study convective stability of a two-front superposition in a reaction-diffusion system. Due to the instability of the connecting equilibrium, long-range semi-strong interaction is expected between the two waves. When restricting to the…
We develop a mechanism for the controlled conversion of ballistic to diffusive motion and vice versa. This process takes place at the interfaces of domains with different time-dependent forces in lattices of laterally oscillating barrier…
We show that transport in the presence of entropic barriers exhibits peculiar characteristics which makes it distinctly different from that occurring through energy barriers. The constrained dynamics yields a scaling regime for the particle…
Differentiable conjugacies link dynamical systems that share properties such as the stability multipliers of corresponding orbits. It provides a stronger classification than topological conjugacy, which only requires qualitative similarity.…
We study statistical properties of a family of maps acting in the space of integer valued sequences, which model dynamics of simple deterministic traffic flows. We obtain asymptotic (as time goes to infinity) properties of trajectories of…
The nonstationary dynamics of topological solitons (dislocations, domain walls, fluxons) and their bound states in one-dimensional systems with high dispersion are investigated. Dynamical features of a moving kink emitting radiation and…

A two parameter model for single lane car-following is introduced and its equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties are studied. Despite its simplicity, this model exhibits a rich phenomenology, analogous to that observed in real traffic,…
The spreading of density fluctuations in two-dimensional driven diffusive systems is marginally anomalous. Mode coupling theory predicts that the diffusivity in the direction of the drive diverges with time as $(\ln t)^{2/3}$ with a…
We use the inverse pressure concept to estimate the stable dimension for hyperbolic non-invertible maps which are conformal in the stable fibers. The non-invertible case is different than the diffeomorphism case. In particular we show that…
