This paper provides two results for the omega limit sets of a dynamical system. We show that omega limit sets can be estimated by using functions that satisfy different (and in many cases less demanding) assumptions than the usual…
In this paper we prove a recent conjecture by M. Hirsch, which says that if $(f,\Omega)$ is a discrete time monotone dynamical system, with $f\colon \Omega\to\Omega$ a homeomorphism on an open connected subset of a finite dimensional vector…
We give a simple example of a set that is weakly Dedekind infinite (= can be mapped onto omega) but dually Dedekind finite (=cannot be mapped noninjectively onto itself), namely, the power set of a superamorphous set. (A infinite set is…
Discrete dynamical systems defined on the state space {0,1,...,p-1}^n have been used in multiple applications, most recently for the modeling of gene and protein networks. In this paper we study to what extent well-known theorems by Smale…
Omega-limit sets play an important role in one-dimensional dynamics. During last fifty year at least three definitions of basic set has appeared. Authors often use results with different definition. Here we fill in the gap of missing proof…
High-order interdependencies are central features of complex systems, yet a mechanistic explanation for their emergence remains elusive. Currently, it is unknown under what conditions high-order interdependencies, quantified by the…
In this article, we deal with several notions in dynamical systems. Firstly, we prove that both closure function and orbital function are idempotent on set-valued dynamical systems. And we show that the compact limit set of a connected set…
A nonlinear dynamical system is called eventually competitive (or cooperative) provided that it preserves a partial order in backward (or forward) time only after some reasonable initial transient. We presented in this paper the…
The current series of papers is concerned with stochastic stability of monotone dynamical systems by identifying the basic dynamical units that can survive in the presence of noise interference. In the first of the series, for the…
Strongly convex sets in Hilbert spaces are characterized by local properties. One quantity which is used for this purpose is a generalization of the modulus of convexity \delta_\Omega of a set \Omega. We also show that \lim_{\epsilon \to 0}…
In this paper, we study systems of time-invariant ordinary differential equations whose flows are non-expansive with respect to a norm, meaning that the distance between solutions may not increase. Since non-expansiveness (and…
In mixed states of quantum systems, symmetries come in two types: strong and weak. Furthermore, it has been argued that in quantum many-body systems, strong symmetries can be "spontaneously broken" down to weak symmetries. An issue is that…
The notion of $\Delta$-weakly mixing set is introduced, which shares similar properties of weakly mixing sets. It is shown that if a dynamical system has positive topological entropy, then the collection of $\Delta$-weakly mixing sets is…
We obtain symmetry results for solutions of an elliptic system of equation possessing a cooperative structure. The domain in which the problem is set may possess "holes" or "small vacancies" (measured in terms of capacity) along which the…
We show that the composition of omega-series by surreal numbers, or more generally by elements of any confluent field of transseries, is monotonic in its second argument. In particular, omega-series and LE-series interpreted as functions…
We present a simple proof of monotonicity for cooperative systems of linear ordinary differential equations, without having recourse to approximation by strongly cooperative systems.
It is well known that \omega-limit sets are internally chain transitive and have weak incompressibility; the converse is not generally true, in either case. However, it has been shown that a set is weakly incompressible if and only if it is…
The omega limit sets plays a fundamental role to construct global attractors for topological semi-dynamical systems with continuous time or discrete time. Therefore, it is important to know when omega limit sets become nonempty compact…
We show that strongly monotone systems of ordinary differential equations which have a certain translation-invariance property are so that all solutions converge to a unique equilibrium. The result may be seen as a dual of a well-known…
Two complementary analyses of a cyclic negative feedback system with delay are considered in this paper. The first analysis applies the work by Sontag, Angeli, Enciso and others regarding monotone control systems under negative feedback,…
