In this note, we propose coordinate-invariant notions of incremental Lyapunov function and provide characterizations of incremental stability in terms of existence of the proposed Lyapunov functions.

For systems evolving on a Riemannian manifold, we propose converse Lyapunov theorems for asymptotic and exponential stability. The novelty of the proposed approach is that is does not rely on local Euclidean coordinate, and is thus valid on…

In this article we present Pickands theorem and his double sum method. We follow Piterbarg's proof of this theorem. Since his proof relies on general lemmas we present a complete proof of Pickands theorem using Borell inequality and Slepian…

We prove that for $\mathcal{C}^{1,\alpha}$ diffeomorphisms on a compact manifold $M$ with ${\rm dim} M\leq 3$, if an invariant measure $\mu$ is a continuity point of the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents, then $\mu$ is an upper…

In [8] we found a class of overlapping asymmetric self-similar measures on the real line, which are generically absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Here we construct exceptional measures in this class being singular.

I propose that stiffness may be defined and quantified for nonlinear systems using Lyapunov exponents, and demonstrate the relationship that exists between stiffness and the fractal dimension of a strange attractor: that stiff chaos is thin…

Lyapunov functions are used to prove stability of equilibria, or to indicate a gradient-like structure of a dynamical system. Zelenyak (1968) and Matano (1988) constructed a Lyapunov function for quasilinear parabolic equations. We modify…

It is understood now that all projective (and conformal) invariants of Riemannian metrics can be found by a transparent construction based on representation theory. So this article with a partial and quite cumbersome construction of…

We prove a new polynomial lower bound on the scattering resolvent. For that, we construct a quasimode localized on a trajectory $\gamma$ which is trapped in the past, but not in the future. The power in the bound is expressed in terms of…

Functionals in geometric probability are often expressed as sums of bounded functions exhibiting exponential stabilization. Methods based on cumulant techniques and exponential modifications of measures show that such functionals satisfy…

We give an exponential upper bound on the probabilitywith which the denominator of the $n$th convergent in the regular continued fraction expansion stays away from the mean $\frac{n\pi^2}{12\log2}$. The exponential rate is best possible,…

We consider a boundary value problem involving conformable derivative of order $\alpha ,$ $1<\alpha <2$ and Dirichlet conditions. To prove the existence of solutions, we apply the method of upper and lower solutions together with Schauder's…

Measure structured deformations are introduced to present a unified theory of deformations of continua. The energy associated with a measure structured deformation is defined via relaxation departing either from energies associated with…

We review here some recent results by the authors, and various coauthors, on (weak,super) Poincar\'e inequalities, transportation-information inequalities or logarithmic Sobolev inequality via a quite simple and efficient technique:…

In this paper, we obtain bounds on the $L^1$ norm of the sum $\sum_{n\le x}\tau(n) e(\alpha n)$ where $\tau(n)$ is the divisor function.

We introduce the \emph{metric spectrum}, which measures the exponential rate of approximation to an isolated invariant set of points starting in its stable set, and relate it to the Lyapunov spectrum. We determine the metric spectrum of…

We introduce several new constructions of finite posets with the number of linear extensions given by generalized continued fractions. We apply our results to the problem of the minimum number of elements needed for a poset with a given…

The exact value of the Lyapunov exponents for the random matrix product $P_N = A_N A_{N-1}...A_1$ with each $A_i = \Sigma^{1/2} G_i^{\rm c}$, where $\Sigma$ is a fixed $d \times d$ positive definite matrix and $G_i^{\rm c}$ a $d \times d$…

We discuss some aspects of the theory of subelliptic estimates.

Lyapunov exponents can be difficult to determine from experimental data. In particular, when using embedding theory to build chaotic attractors in a reconstruction space, extra "spurious" Lyapunov exponents arise that are not Lyapunov…
