The global dynamics of a nonautonomous Carath\'eodory scalar ordinary differential equation $x'=f(t,x)$, given by a function $f$ which is concave in $x$, is determined by the existence or absence of an attractor-repeller pair of hyperbolic…
A function with finite asymptotic limits gives rise to a transition equation between a "past system" and a "future system". This question is analyzed in the case of nonautonomous coercive nonlinear scalar ordinary differential equations…
An attractor of a piecewise-smooth continuous system of differential equations can bifurcate from a stable equilibrium to a more complicated invariant set when it collides with a switching manifold under parameter variation. Here numerical…
The limiting slow dynamics of slow-fast, piecewise-linear, continuous systems of ODEs occurs on critical manifolds that are piecewise-linear. At points of non-differentiability, such manifolds are not normally hyperbolic and so the…
The occurrence of tracking or tipping situations for a transition equation $x'=f(t,x,\Gamma(t,x))$ is analyzed under the assumptions on concavity in $x$ either of the maps giving rise to the asymptotic equations $x'=f(t,x,\Gamma_\pm(t,x))$…
We study incompressible systems of motile particles with alignment interactions. Unlike their compressible counterparts, in which the order-disorder (i.e., moving to static) transition, tuned by either noise or number density, is…
A mathematical modeling process for phenomena with a single state variable that attempts to be realistic must be given by a scalar nonautonomous differential equation $x'=f(t,x)$ that is concave with respect to the state variable $x$ in…
Critical transitions occur in a variety of dynamical systems. Here, we employ quantifiers of chaos to identify changes in the dynamical structure of complex systems preceding critical transitions. As suitable indicator variables for…
The extraordinary transition which occurs in the two-dimensional O(n) model for $n<1$ at sufficiently enhanced surface couplings is studied by conformal perturbation theory about infinite coupling and by finite-size scaling of the spectrum…
Extending notions of phase transitions to nonequilibrium realm is a fundamental problem for statistical mechanics. While it was discovered that critical transitions occur even for transient states before relaxation as the singularity of a…
The phase transitions and critical properties of two types of inhomogeneous systems are reviewed. In one case, the local critical behaviour results from the particular shape of the system. Here scale-invariant forms like wedges or cones are…
Critical transitions are observed in many complex systems. This includes the onset of synchronization in a network of coupled oscillators or the emergence an epidemic state within a population. "Explosive" first-order transitions have…
Catastrophic transitions, where a system shifts abruptly between alternate steady states, are a generic feature of many nonlinear systems. Recently these regime shift were suggested as the mechanism underlies many ecological catastrophes,…
We consider the evolution of the unstable periodic orbit structure of coupled chaotic systems. This involves the creation of a complicated set outside of the synchronization manifold (the emergent set). We quantitatively identify a critical…
The critical behavior at the ordinary transition in semi-infinite n-component anisotropic cubic models is investigated by applying the field theoretic approach in d=3 dimensions up to the two-loop approximation. Numerical estimates of the…
Bifurcations can cause dynamical systems with slowly varying parameters to transition to far-away attractors. The terms ``critical transition'' or ``tipping point'' have been used to describe this situation. Critical transitions have been…
We consider a model for substrate-depletion oscillations in genetic systems, based on a stochastic differential equation with a slowly evolving external signal. We show the existence of critical transitions in the system. We apply two…
The dynamical phase diagram of the fractional Langevin equation is investigated for harmonically bound particle. It is shown that critical exponents mark dynamical transitions in the behavior of the system. Four different critical exponents…
One possible framework to interpret the irreversibility transition observed in periodically driven colloidal suspensions is that of a non-equilibrium phase transition towards an absorbing reversible state at low amplitude of the driving…
We define geometric critical exponents for systems that undergo continuous second order classical and quantum phase transitions. These relate scalar quantities on the information theoretic parameter manifolds of such systems, near…
