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 provide Lyapunov-like characterizations of boundedness and convergence of non-trivial solutions for a class of systems with unstable invariant sets. Examples of systems to which the results may apply include interconnections of stable…
We study the problem of mean-square exponential incremental stabilization of nonlinear systems over uncertain communication channels. We show the ability to stabilize a system over such channels is fundamentally limited and the channel…

In 2019 Anthony Quas, Philippe Thieullen and Mohamed Zarrabi introduced the concept of strong fast invertibility for linear cocycles. It relates the growth of volumes between different initial times and, together with a condition on…
We focus on the frontier between the chaotic and regular regions for the classical version of the quantum kicked top. We show that the sensitivity to the initial conditions is numerically well characterised by $\xi=e_q^{\lambda_q t}$, where…
Ensemble of initial conditions for nonlinear maps can be described in terms of entropy. This ensemble entropy shows an asymptotic linear growth with rate K. The rate K matches the logarithm of the corresponding asymptotic sensitivity to…
The physics of many closed, conservative systems can be described by both classical and quantum theories. The dynamics according to classical theory is symplectic and admits linear instabilities which would initially seem at odds with a…
In this paper we consider the problem of determining the stability properties, and in particular assessing the exponential stability, of a singularly perturbed linear switching system. One of the challenges of this problem arises from the…
The phase space trajectories of many body systems charateristic of simple fluids are highly unstable. We quantify this instability by a set of Lyapunov exponents, which are the rates of exponential divergence, or convergence, of initial…
We consider a general class of maps of the interval having Lyapunov subexponential instability $|\delta x_{t}|\sim|\delta x_{0}|\exp[\Lambda_{t}(x_{0})\zeta(t)]$, where $\zeta(t)$ grows sublinearly as $t\rightarrow\infty$. We outline here a…
