We study the dynamics of one--dimensional discrete models of one--component active medium built up of spatially inhomogeneous chains of diffusively coupled piecewise linear maps. The nonhomogeneities (``defects'') are treated in terms of…
Topological conjugateness of one dimensional unimodal dynamical systems, which are generated by interval [0, 1] into itself maps are studied. We study the smoothness and differentiability of the conjugacy of symmetrical and non-symmetrical…
We extend some known results from smooth dynamical systems to the category of Lipschitz homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces. We consider dynamical properties as robust expansiveness and structural stability allowing Lipschitz…
In this note we use techniques in the topology of 2-complexes to recast some tools that have arisen in the study of planar tiling questions. With spherical pictures we show that the tile counting group associated to a set $T$ of tiles and a…
We investigate dynamical systems consisting of a locally compact Hausdorff space equipped with a partially defined local homeomorphism. Important examples of such systems include self-covering maps, one-sided shifts of finite type and, more…
Two dynamical systems are topologically equivalent when their phase-portraits can be morphed into each other by a homeomorphic coordinate transformation on the state space. The induced equivalence classes capture qualitative properties such…
A tiling is said to have infinite local complexity (ILC) if it contains infinitely many two-tile patches up to rigid motions. In this work, we provide examples of substitution rules that generate tilings with ILC. The proof relies on…
We determine the topology of the moduli space of periodic tilings of the plane by parallelograms. To each such tiling, we associate combinatorial data via the zone curves of the tiling. We show that all tilings with the same combinatorial…
Topological mechanical metamaterials have enabled new ways to control stress and deformation propagation. Exemplified by Maxwell lattices, they have been studied extensively using a linearized formalism. Herein, we study a two-dimensional…
We give an application of a topological dynamics version of multidimensional Brown's lemma to tiling theory: given a tiling of an Euclidean space and a finite geometric pattern of points $F$, one can find a patch such that, for each scale…
This is a chapter in an incoming book on aperiodic order. We review results about the topology, the dynamics, and the combinatorics of aperiodically ordered tilings obtained with the tools of noncommutative geometry.
A tiling is a cover of R^d by tiles such as polygons that overlap only on their borders. A patch is a configuration consisting of finitely many tiles that appears in tilings. From a tiling, we can construct a dynamical system which encodes…
In their paper on multivariable dynamics, Davidson and Katsoulis conjectured that two multivariable dynamical systems have isomorphic tensor algebras if and only if they are piecewise conjugate. We disprove the conjecture by constructing…
We investigate the properties of classical single flip dynamics in sets of two-dimensional random rhombus tilings. Single flips are local moves involving 3 tiles which sample the tiling sets {\em via} Monte Carlo Markov chains. We determine…
We show examples which reveal influences of spatial topologies to dynamics, using a class of spatially {\it closed} inhomogeneous cosmological models. The models, called the {\it locally U(1)$\times$U(1) symmetric models} (or the {\it…
The theory of substitution sequences and their higher-dimensional analogues is intimately connected with symbolic dynamics. By systematically studying the factors (in the sense of dynamical systems theory) of a substitution dynamical…
This sequel to our previous paper [MS11b] continues the study of topological contact dynamics and applications to contact dynamics and topological dynamics. We provide further evidence that the topological automorphism groups of a contact…
We study the convex combinations of the $(d+1)$ generalized Pauli dynamical maps in a Hilbert space of dimension $d$. For certain choices of the decoherence function, the maps are noninvertible and they remain under convex combinations as…
Active emulsions and liquid crystalline shells are intriguing and experimentally realisable types of topological matter. Here we numerically study the morphology and spatiotemporal dynamics of a double emulsion, where one or two passive…
We study the spatiotemporal patterns that emerge when an active nematic film is topologically constraint. These topological constraints allow to control the non-equilibrium dynamics of the active system. We consider ellipsoidal shapes for…
