The Lyapunov exponent corresponding to a set of square matrices $\mathcal{A} = \{A_1, \dots, A_n \}$ and a probability distribution $p$ over $\{1, \dots, n\}$ is $\lambda(\mathcal{A},p) := \lim_{k \to \infty} \frac{1}{k} \,\mathbb{E} \log…
We consider a smooth expanding map g on the circle of degree 2. It is known that the Lyapunov exponent of g with respect to the unique invariant measure that is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure is positive and less…
We numerically study in the one-dimensional case the validity of the functional calculated by Graham and coworkers as a Lyapunov potential for the Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. In non-chaotic regions of parameter space the functional…
In this paper, we investigate ergodic and fractal properties of the sets $$\Lambda_y:=\Big\{n\in\mathbb{N}:\ \{u_ny\}\in I_n\Big\},$$ where $\{\cdot\}$ denotes the fractional part function, $(u_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ is an increasing sequence…
We present a new time-dependent Density Functional approach to study the relaxational dynamics of an assembly of interacting particles subject to thermal noise. Starting from the Langevin stochastic equations of motion for the velocities of…
This paper introduces a geometric method for proving ergodicity of degenerate noise driven stochastic processes. The driving noise is assumed to be an arbitrary Levy process with non-degenerate diffusion component (but that may be applied…
We study the ergodic control problem for a class of jump diffusions in $\mathbb{R}^d$, which are controlled through the drift with bounded controls. The Levy measure is finite, but has no particular structure; it can be anisotropic and…
Nanochains of atoms, molecules and polymers have gained recent interest in the experimental sciences. This article contributes to an advanced mathematical modeling of the mechanical properties of nanochains that allow for heterogenities,…
Pesin's identity provides a profound connection between entropy $h_{KS}$ (statistical mechanics) and the Lyapunov exponent $\lambda$ (chaos theory). It is well known that many systems exhibit sub-exponential separation of nearby…
We derive a class of multi-species aggregation-diffusion systems from stochastic interacting particle systems via relative entropy method with quantitative bounds. We show an algebraic $L^1$-convergence result using moderately interacting…
In the context of mechanical Lagrangian dynamics, we prove a new Lyapunov instability criterion for a non strict local minimum equilibrium point of a smooth potential where the sufficient condition for instability is the existence of a…
Let $k\in (d,\infty]$ and consider the $k*$-distance $$\|\mu-\nu\|_{k*}:= \sup\Big\{|\mu(f)-\nu(f)|:\ f\in\B_b(\R^d),\ \|f\|_{\tt L^k}:=\sup_{x\in \R^d}\|1_{B(x,1)}f\|_{L^k}\le 1\Big\}$$ between probability measures on $\R^d$. The…
In this paper a one-dimensional model of two infinite gases separated by a movable heavy piston is considered. The non-linear Langevin equation for the motion of the piston is derived from first principles for the case when the…
We develop tools to construct Lyapunov functionals on the space of probability measures in order to investigate the convergence to global equilibrium of a damped Euler system under the influence of external and interaction potential forces…
It is known that hyperbolic dynamical systems admit a unique invariant probability measure with maximal entropy. We prove an effective version of this statement and use it to estimate an upper bound for Hausdorff dimension of exceptional…
We consider a continuous-time linear time-invariant dynamical system that admits an invariant cone. For the case of a self-dual and homogeneous cone we show that if the system is asymptotically stable then it admits a quadratic Lyapunov…
We study the exponential convergence to the stationary state for nonequilibrium Langevin dynamics, by a perturbative approach based on hypocoercive techniques developed for equilibrium Langevin dynamics. The Hamiltonian and overdamped…
The dynamics of the expansion of a Lennard-Jones system, initially confined at high density and subsequently expanding freely in the vacuum, is confronted to an expanding statistical ensemble, derived in the diluted quasi-ideal Boltzmann…
Recently, a new algorithm for the computation of covariant Lyapunov vectors and of corresponding local Lyapunov exponents has become available. Here we study the properties of these still unfamiliar quantities for a number of simple models,…
We show the existence of invariant ergodic $\sigma$-additive probability measures with full support on $X$ for a class of linear operators $L: X \to X$, where $L$ is a weighted shift operator and $X$ either is the Banach space…
