A nonconventional renormalization-group (RG) treatment close to and below four dimensions is used to explore, in a unified and systematic way, the low-temperature properties of a wide class of systems in the influence domain of their…
This paper is concerned with a quaslinear parabolic equation including a nonlinear nonlocal initial condition. The problem arises as equilibrium equation in population dynamics with nonlinear diffusion. We make use of global bifurcation…
We identify universal signatures in the bispectrum arising from a transient tachyonic instability of entropic fluctuations during inflation, a phenomenon that naturally arises in hyperbolic field-space geometries. We perform exact numerical…
The sensitivity of trajectories over finite time intervals t to perturbations of the initial conditions can be associated with a finite-time Lyapunov exponent lambda, obtained from the elements M_{ij} of the stability matrix M. For globally…
We introduce a new universality class of one-dimensional unimodal dissipative maps. The new family, from now on referred to as the ($z_1,z_2$)-{\it logarithmic map}, corresponds to a generalization of the $z$-logistic map. The…
Features in the inflaton potential that are traversed in much less than an e-fold of the expansion can produce observably large non-Gaussianity. In these models first order corrections to the curvature mode function evolution induce effects…
Local bifurcation analysis plays a central role in understanding qualitative transitions in networked nonlinear dynamical systems, including dynamic neural network and opinion dynamics models. In this article we establish explicit bounds of…
We present a systematic theory connecting the nonlocal response kernel of a homogeneous medium to its effective surface susceptibilities for an arbitrary curved interface. Starting from the most general tensorial nonlocal constitutive…
We consider the dynamics of strongly dissipative H\'enon-like maps in the plane, around the first bifurcation parameter $a^*$ at which the uniform hyperbolicity is destroyed by the formation of homoclinic or heteroclinic tangencies inside…
Different mechanisms for the creation of strange non-chaotic dynamics in the quasiperiodically forced logistic map are studied. These routes to strange nonchaos are characterised through the behavior of the largest nontrivial Lyapunov…
Ensemble averages of the sensitivity to initial conditions $\xi(t)$ and the entropy production per unit time of a {\it new} family of one-dimensional dissipative maps, $x_{t+1}=1-ae^{-1/|x_t|^z}(z>0)$, and of the known logistic-like maps,…
No unmeasured confounding is a common assumption when reasoning about counterfactual outcomes, but such an assumption may not be plausible in observational studies. Sensitivity analysis is often employed to assess the robustness of causal…
We treat a problem at the interface of dynamical systems and equilibrium statistical physics. It is well-known that the geometric pressure function $$t\in\mathbb R\mapsto \sup_{\mu}\left\{h_\mu(T_2)-t\int\log |dT_2(x)|d\mu(x)\right\}$$ of…
The slow drift (with speed $\eps$) of a parameter through a pitchfork bifurcation point, known as the dynamic pitchfork bifurcation, is characterized by a significant delay of the transition from the unstable to the stable state. We…
In the study of chaotic behaviour of systems of many hard spheres, Lyapunov exponents of small absolute value exhibit interesting characteristics leading to speculations about connections to non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Analytical…
Nonlinear dynamical systems are ubiquitous in nature and they are hard to forecast. Not only they may be sensitive to small perturbations in their initial conditions, but they are often composed of processes acting at multiple scales.…
The renormalization group equations for a class of non--relativistic quantum $\sigma$--models targeted on flag manifolds are given. These models emerge in a continuum limit of generalized Heisenberg antiferromagnets. The case of the…
In the present paper the Renormalization Group (RG) method is adopted as a tool for a constructive analysis of the properties of the Frobenius-Perron Operator. The renormalization group reduction of a generic symplectic map in the case,…
The standard map, paradigmatic conservative system in the $(x,p)$ phase space, has been recently shown to exhibit interesting statistical behaviors directly related to the value of the standard map parameter $K$. A detailed numerical…
This paper concerns the effects of additive non-Gaussian L\'evy noises on the pitchfork bifurcation. We consider two types of noises, $\alpha$-stable process and the truncated process. Under both $\alpha$-stable process and the truncated…
