We study the well-posedness and stability of an impedance passive infinite-dimensional linear system under nonlinear feedback of the form $u(t)=\phi(v(t)-y(t))$, where $\phi$ is a monotone function. Our first main result introduces…
Bohr chaoticity is a topological notion of dynamical complexity defined through non-orthogonality to all non-trivial weights. It is strictly stronger than positivity of topological entropy and also has strong consequences for the…
Let $(\Sigma, \sigma)$ be the one-sided shift space with $m$ symbols and $R_n(x)$ be the first return time of $x\in\Sigma$ to the $n$-th cylinder containing $x$. Denote $$E^\varphi_{\alpha,\beta}=\left\{x\in\Sigma:…
The theory of monotone dynamical systems has been found very useful in the modeling of some gene, protein, and signaling networks. In monotone systems, every net feedback loop is positive. On the other hand, negative feedback loops are…
Boltzmann's equation provides a microscopic model for the evolution of dilute classical gases. A fundamental problem in mathematical physics is to rigorously derive Boltzmann's equation starting from Newton's laws. In the 1970s, Oscar…
We give a upper bound of Lebesgue measure $V(S(f,h,\Omega))$ of the set $S(f,h,\Omega)$ of points $q\in Q_h^d$ for which the triple $(h,q,\Omega)$ is dynamically robust when $f$ is monotonic and satisfies certain condition on some compact…
We present two different types of models where, for certain singular cardinals lambda of uncountable cofinality, lambda -> (lambda, omega+1)^2, although lambda is not a strong limit cardinal. We announce, here, and will present in a…
This paper introduces the axiom of Negative Dominance, stating that if a lottery $f$ is strictly preferred to a lottery $g$, then some outcome in the support of $f$ is strictly preferred to some outcome in the support of $g$. It is shown…
There has been a long-standing and at times fractious debate whether complex and large systems can be stable. In ecology, the so-called `diversity-stability debate' arose because mathematical analyses of ecosystem stability were either…
Relative equilibria of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems with symmetry are critical points of appropriate scalar functions parametrized by the Lie algebra (or its dual) of the symmetry group. Setting aside the structures - symplectic,…
We consider sets and maps defined over an o-minimal structure over the reals, such as real semi-algebraic or subanalytic sets. A {\em monotone map} is a multi-dimensional generalization of a usual univariate monotone function, while the…
Often times, individuals working together as a team can solve hard problems beyond the capability of any individual in the team. Cooperative optimization is a newly proposed general method for attacking hard optimization problems inspired…
We show that the full features of the dynamics towards the Feigenbaum attractor, present in all low-dimensional maps with a unimodal leading component, form a hierarchical construction with modular organization that leads to a clear-cut…
In this paper we derive fundamental limitations on the levels of $H_2$ and $H_\infty{}$ performance that can be achieved when controlling lossless systems. The results are applied to the swing equation power system model, where it is shown…
The current paper is devoted to the investigation of the influence of nested invariant cone structure on the dynamics, in the context of non-autonomous (time almost periodic)cases. We first prove that the nested invariant cone structure can…
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^{n+1}$ be an open set with $n$-AD-regular boundary. In this paper we prove that if the harmonic measure for $\Omega$ satisfies the so-called weak-$A_\infty$ condition, then $\Omega$ satisfies a suitable…
We consider the weakly coupled elliptic system of logistic type, \begin{equation}\label{LS} \begin{cases} -\Delta u &=\lambda_1 u- |u|^{p-2}u+ \beta |u|^{\frac{p}{2}-2}u |v|{^{\frac{p}{2}-1}}v\mbox{ in }\Omega, -\Delta v & =\lambda_2 v-…
We argue that symmetry and unification can emerge as byproducts of certain physical constraints on dynamical scattering. To accomplish this we parameterize a general Lorentz invariant, four-dimensional theory of massless and massive scalar…
Living organisms, ecosystems, and social systems are examples of complex systems in which robustness against inclusion of new elements is an essential feature. A recently proposed simple model has revealed a general mechanism by which such…
We investigate the possible origin of hierarchical structures in complex systems describable in terms of a finite and small number of parameters which control the behavioral pattern at each level of organization. We argue that the…
