This paper considers the asymptotic behaviour of deterministically and stochastically forced linear pantograph equations. The asymptotic behaviour is studied in the case when all solutions of the pantograph equation without forcing tend to…
The global steady state of a system in thermal equilibrium exponentially favors configurations with lesser energy. This principle is a powerful explanation of self-organization because energy is a local property of a configuration. For…
We study certain significant properties of the equilibrium configurations of a rigid body subject to an undamped elastic restoring force, in the stream of a viscous liquid in an unbounded 3D domain. The motion of the coupled system is…
The steady states of an isotone electric system are described by an isotone function with respect to the componentwise order. When there are steady states, we highlight a dominant steady state and we study its domain of attraction for the…
The main objective of this paper is to show that two asymptotically stable steady states which belong to an analytic path of asymptotically stable steady states can be gradually transferred one to the other by successive changes of the…
This paper presents necessary and sufficient characterizations of several notions of input to output stability. Similar Lyapunov characterizations have been found to play a key role in the analysis of the input to state stability property,…
In this paper we introduce the concept of universal stabilizability: the condition that every solution of a nonlinear system can be globally stabilized. We give sufficient conditions in terms of the existence of a control contraction…
We consider translation-invariant interacting particle systems on the lattice with finite local state space admitting at least one Gibbs measure as a time-stationary measure. The dynamics can be irreversible but should satisfy some mild…
The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy production in macroscopic systems is non-negative, reaching zero only at thermodynamic equilibrium. As a corollary, this implies that the state trajectory of macroscopic systems is…
We investigate the asymptotic stability and ergodic properties of quantum trajectories under imperfect measurement, extending previous results established for the ideal case of perfect measurement. We establish a necessary and sufficient…
A discrete dynamical system in Euclidean m-space generated by the iterates of an asymptotically zero map f, satisfying f(x) goes to zero as x goes to infinity, must have a compact global attracting set $A $. The question of what additional…
Many complex systems share two characteristics: 1) they are stochastic in nature, and 2) they are characterized by a large number of factors. At the same time, various natural complex systems appear to have two types of intertwined…
An equilibrium statistical system is known to be stable if the fluctuations of global observables are normal, when their dispersions are proportional to the number of particles, or to the system volume. A general theorem is rigorously…
This paper continues the study of the integral input-to-state stability (IISS) property. It is shown that the IISS property is equivalent to one which arises from the consideration of mixed norms on states and inputs, as well as to the…
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behaviors of the solutions of nonlinear dynamic systems nearby an equilibrium point, when the nominal parts are subject to non necessarily small perturbations. We show that, under some estimates…
Adapting a counterexample recently proposed by J.L. Mancilla-Aguilar and H. Haimovich, we show here that, for time-delay systems, global asymptotic stability does not ensure that solutions converge uniformly to zero over bounded sets of…
The interplay between steering and quantum coherence is studied in a scenario, where two atoms move through an external massless scalar field. We show that just like entanglement, the steering induced coherence of the equilibrium state may…
The mechanism for the relaxation of the cosmological constant is studied and elaborated. In the model used for the analysis of the relaxation mechanism the universe contains two components: a cosmological constant of an arbitrary size and…
Despite the importance of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, it is not absolute. Statistical mechanics implies that, given sufficient time, systems near equilibrium will spontaneously fluctuate into lower-entropy states, locally reversing…
Well-posedness of a reversible variant of the Gray-Scott model is shown, along with the convergence of each trajectory to one of the two spatially homogeneous steady states. The principle of linearized stability provides the local…
