We show that the metric entropy of a $C^1$ diffeomorphism with a dominated splitting and the dominating bundle uniformly expanding is bounded from above by the integrated volume growth of the dominating (expanding) bundle plus the maximal…
A diffeomorphism $f$ has a $C^1$-robust homoclinic tangency if there is a $C^1$-neighbourhood $\cU$ of $f$ such that every diffeomorphism in $g\in \cU$ has a hyperbolic set $\La_g$, depending continuously on $g$, such that the stable and…
A systematic analysis of the discrete conservation properties of non-dissipative, central-difference approximations of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations is reported. A general triple splitting of the nonlinear convective terms is…
We investigate the numerical approximation of (discontinuous) entropy solutions to nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws posed on a Lorentzian manifold. Our main result establishes the convergence of monotone and first-order finite volume…
A vector topology on a vector space over a topological field is a (not necessarily Hausdorff) topology by which the addition and scalar multiplication are continuous. We prove that, if an isomorphism between the lattice of topologies of two…
We show that a $\mathrm{GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$ cocycle over a hyperbolic system with constant periodic data has a dominated splitting whenever the periodic data indicates it should. This implies global periodic data rigidity of generic Anosov…
In this paper we present a proof of the Verjovsky conjecture: Every codimension-one Anosov flow on a manifold of dimension greater than three is topologically equivalent to the suspension of a hyperbolic toral automorphism. In fact, the…
The goal of this paper is to prove the existence and stability of shocks for viscous scalar conservation laws with space periodic flux, in the multi-dimensional case. Such a result had been proved by the first author in one space dimension,…
We show the consistency of a threshold dynamics type algorithm for the anisotropic motion by fractional mean curvature, in the presence of a time dependent forcing term. Beside the consistency result, we show that convex sets remain convex…
We classify quasiconformal Anosov flows whose strong stable and unstable distributions are at least two dimensional and the sum of these two distributions is smooth. We deduce from this classification result the complete classification of…
In this work we prove that each C^r conservative diffeomorphism with a pair of hyperbolic periodic points of co-index one can be C^1-approximated by C^r conservative diffeomorphisms having a blender.
We prove the existence of a contracting invariant topological foliation in a full neighborhood for partially hyperbolic attractors. Under certain bunching conditions it can then be shown that this stable foliation is smooth. Specialising to…
In this note we announce a result for vector fields on three-dimensional manifolds: those who are singular hyperbolic or exhibit a homoclinic tangency form a dense subset of the space of $C^1$-vector fields. This answers a conjecture by…
Some Stein manifolds (with a volume form) have a large group of (volume-preserving) automorphisms: this is formalized by the (volume) density property, which has remarkable consequences. Until now all known manifolds with the volume density…
Araujo proved in his thesis \cite{A} that a $C^1$ generic surface diffeomorphism has either infinitely many sinks (i.e. attracting periodic orbits) or finitely many hyperbolic attractors with full Lebesgue measure basin. The goal of this…
A variety of real-world applications are modeled via hyperbolic conservation laws. To account for uncertainties or insufficient measurements, random coefficients may be incorporated. These random fields may depend discontinuously on the…
We prove that there exists a weak solution to a system governing an unsteady flow of a viscoelastic fluid in three dimensions, for arbitrarily large time interval and data. The fluid is described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes…
We study whether iterated vector fields (vector fields composed with themselves) are conservative. We give explicit examples of vector fields for which this self-composition preserves conservatism. Notably, this includes gradient vector…
Consider a partition of $R^n$ into finitely many polyhedral regions $D_i$ and associated drift vectors $\mu_i\in R^n$. We study ``hybrid'' dynamical systems whose trajectories have a constant drift, $\dot x=\mu_i$, whenever $x$ is in the…
In this paper, we establish the $C^0$-coerciveness of Moser's problem of mapping one smooth volume form to another in terms of the weak topology of measures associated to the volume forms. The proof relies on our analysis of…
