We investigate the long-time behavior of solutions of quasilinear hyperbolic systems with transparent boundary conditions when small source terms are incorporated in the system. Even if the finite-time stability of the system is not…
If the time evolution of an open quantum system approaches equilibrium in the time mean, then on any single trajectory of any of its unravelings the time averaged state approaches the same equilibrium state with probability 1. In the case…
The question of the local stability of the (replica-symmetric) amorphous solid state is addressed for a class of systems undergoing a continuous liquid to amorphous-solid phase transition driven by the effect of random constraints. The…
We derive a measurement-independent asymptotic continuity bound on the observational entropy for general POVM measurements, making essential use of its property of bounded concavity. The same insight is used to obtain continuity bounds for…
When a thermodynamic system is released from any constraint, after some time its evolution will render it into an equilibrium state. Although the description of this relaxation to thermodynamic equilibrium has been attempted through both…
The turnpike phenomenon stipulates that the solution of an optimal control problem in large time, remains essentially close to a steady-state of the dynamics, itself being the optimal solution of an associated static optimal control…
We study the asymptotics of solutions of the Boltzmann equation describing the kinetic limit of a lattice of classical interacting anharmonic oscillators. We prove that, if the initial condition is a small perturbation of an equilibrium…
The present paper addresses the problem of existence of an (output) feedback law to the purposes of asymptotically steering to zero a given controlled variable, while keeping all state variables bounded, for any initial conditions in a…
In this paper, we extend well-known relationships between global asymptotic controllability, sample stabilizability, and the existence of a control Lyapunov function to a wide class of control systems with unbounded controls, which includes…
Asymptotic safety is a set of conditions, based on the existence of a nontrivial fixed point for the renormalization group flow, which would make a quantum field theory consistent up to arbitrarily high energies. After introducing the basic…
A system driven in the vicinity of its critical point by varying a relevant field in an arbitrary function of time is a generic system that possesses a long relaxation time compared with the driving time scale and thus represents a large…
For a product of i.i.d. random maps or a memoryless stochastic flow on a compact space $X$, we find conditions under which the presence of locally asymptotically stable trajectories (e.g. as given by negative Lyapunov exponents) implies…
Fluctuations in systems away from thermal equilibrium have features that have no analog in equilibrium systems. One of such features concerns large rare excursions far from the stable state in the space of dynamical variables. For…
We prove a converse Lyapunov theorem for almost sure stabilizability and almost sure asymptotic stabilizability of controlled diffusions: given a stochastic system a.s. stochastic open loop stabilizable at the origin, we construct a lower…
Consider a string of N+1 damped oscillators moving on the line of which the motion of the first (called the "leader") is independent of the others. Each of the followers `observes' the relative velocity and position of only its nearest…
For a given unconstrained dynamical system, input redundancy has been recently redefined as the existence of distinct inputs producing identical output for the same initial state. By directly referring to signals, this definition readily…
In nature stationary nonequilibrium systems cannot exist on their own, rather they need to be driven from outside in order to keep them away from equilibrium. While the internal mean entropy of such stationary systems is constant, the…
For mechanical systems we present a controller able to track an unknown smooth signal, converging in finite time and by means of a continuous control signal. The control scheme is insensitive against unknown perturbations with bounded…
We consider the exit problem for a one-dimensional system with random switching near an unstable equilibrium point of the averaged drift. In the infinite switching rate limit, we show that the exit time satisfies a limit theorem with a…
