Equations of motion are developed for the oscillatory rotation of a disk suspended between twisted strings kept under tension by a hanging mass, to which additional forces may be applied. In the absence of forcing, damped harmonic…

Oscillation of macroscopic variables is discovered in a metastable state in the Hamiltonian dynamical system of mean field XY model, the duration of which is divergent with the system size. This long-lasting periodic or quasiperiodic…
We consider a chain of weakly harmonic coupled oscillators perturbed by a conservative noise. We show that by tuning accordingly the coupling constant energy can diffuse like a Brownian motion or superdiffuse like a maximally 3/2-stable…
We consider multiscale Hamiltonian systems in which harmonic oscillators with several high frequencies are coupled to a slow system. It is shown that the oscillatory energy is nearly preserved over long times eps^{-N} for arbitrary N>1,…
It is proven that the energy of a quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator with a generically time-dependent but cyclic frequency, $\omega_{0}(t_{0})= \omega_{0}(0)$, cannot decrease on the average if the system is originally in a stationary…
We consider a class of stochastic dynamical systems, called piecewise deterministic Markov processes, with states $(x, \s)\in \O\times \G$, $\O$ being a region in $\bbR^d$ or the $d$--dimensional torus, $\G$ being a finite set. The…
We provide conditions under which trajectory outcomes in mechanical systems subject to unilateral constraints depend piecewise-differentiably on initial conditions, even as the sequence of constraint activations and deactivations varies.…
