This paper presents a fast first-order method for solving the quasi-static contact problem with the Coulomb friction. It is known that this problem can be formulated as a second-order cone linear complementarity problem, for which…
We assume that a system at a mesoscopic scale is described by a field $\phi(x,t)$ that evolves by a Langevin equation with a white noise whose intensity is controlled by a parameter $1/\sqrt{\Omega}$. The system stationary state…
In a partially observed quantum or classical system the information that we cannot access results in our description of the system becoming mixed even if we have perfect initial knowledge. That is, if the system is quantum the conditional…
In this paper we study the semi-global (approximate) state feedback stabilization of an infinite dimensional quantum stochastic system towards a target state. A discrete-time Markov chain on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is used to…
We review the results in Chen & Yao(2009,2012) which concern the contact process in a static random environment on the half space Z^d*Z^+ and make some addition to them. Furthermore, we explain why our methods cannot apply to the whole…
Extremal dynamics represents a path to self-organized criticality in which the order parameter is tuned to a value of zero. The order parameter is associated with a phase transition to an absorbing state. Given a process that exhibits a…
We introduce a numerical scheme to approximate a quasi-linear hyperbolic system which models the movement of cells under the influence of chemotaxis. Since we expect to find solutions which contain vacuum parts, we propose an upwinding…

The operating point of a power system may change due to slow enough variations of the power injections. Rotating machines in the bulk system can absorb smooth changes in the dynamic states of the system. In this context, we present a novel…
After reviewing the behavioral studies of working memory and of the cellular substrate of the latter, we argue that metastable states constitute candidates for the type of transient information storage required by working memory. We then…

We study the quasi-stationary evolution of systems where an energetic confinement is unable to completely retain their constituents. It is performed an extensive numerical study of a gas whose dynamics is driven by binary encounters and its…
Stavskaya's process, a discrete-time version of the contact process on $\Z$, is known to exhibit a phase transition at a critical parameter $\alpc$ whose exact value remains an open problem. Recent work by Ramos et al. established a lower…
A phase transition of the region of the superconductor near the point contact into a new nonequi- librium state at the critical density of nonequilibriumquasiparticles is observed.
We discuss the possibility of making a quasi time crystal. A simple two-state model is studied to clarify our definition. In a superposition of the ground state and the excited state and the probability of observation varies periodically in…
Variation of the phase of the beam transmitted through a crystalline material as a function of the rocking angle is a well known dynamical effect in x-ray scattering. Unfortunately, it is not so easy to measure directly these phase…
Different types of synchronization states are found when non-linear chemical oscillators are embedded into an active medium that interconnects the oscillators but also contributes to the system dynamics. Using different theoretical tools,…
In the development of operational semantics of concurrent systems, a key decision concerns the adoption of a suitable notion of execution model, which basically amounts to choosing a class of partial orders according to which events are…
Quasi-states are certain not necessarily linear functionals on the space of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space. They were discovered as a part of an attempt to understand the axioms of quantum mechanics due to von Neumann. A…
