We develop spectral theorems for nonautonomous linear difference systems, considering different types of $\mu$-dichotomies, both uniform and nonuniform. In the nonuniform case, intriguing scenarios emerge -- that have been employed but…

In this report it is shown that the implicit Euler time-discretization of some classes of switching systems with sliding modes, yields a very good stabilization of the trajectory and of its derivative on the sliding surface. Therefore the…

A system of $N$ particles in a chemical medium in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ is studied in a discrete time setting. Underlying interacting particle system in continuous time can be expressed as \begin{eqnarray} dX_{i}(t) &=&[-(I-A)X_{i}(t) +…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of occupation times of a transient random walk in quenched random environment on a strip in a sub-diffusive regime. The asymptotic behaviour of hitting times, which is a more traditional object of study, is…

A notion of implicit difference equation on a Lie groupoid is introduced and an algorithm for extracting the integrable part (backward or/and forward) is formulated. As an application, we prove that discrete Lagrangian dynamics on a Lie…

Transitions between steady dynamical regimes in diverse applications are often modelled using discontinuities, but doing so introduces problems of uniqueness. No matter how quickly a transition occurs, its inner workings can affect the…

The goal of this note is to study nonlinear parabolic problems nonlocal in time and space. We first establish the existence of a solution and its uniqueness in certain cases. Finally we consider its asymptotic behaviour.
