Considering a "random walk in a random environment" in a topologically closed circuit, we explore the implications of the percolation and sliding transitions for its relaxation modes. A complementary question regarding the "delocalization"…

The completion of matrices with missing values under the rank constraint is a non-convex optimization problem. A popular convex relaxation is based on minimization of the nuclear norm (sum of singular values) of the matrix. For this…

In order to derive the reciprocity relations, Onsager formulated a relation between thermal equilibrium fluctuations and relaxation widely known as regression hypothesis. It is shown in the present work how such relation can be extended to…

We study the contraction of Hodgkin-Huxley model and its role in the reliability of spike timings. Without input, the model is contractive in the region of physiological interest. With impulsive synaptic inputs, contraction is retained…

We study the unitary relaxation dynamics of disordered spin chains following a sudden quench of the Hamiltonian. We give analytical arguments, corroborated by specific numerical examples, to show that the existence of a stationary state…

Numerous pivotal concepts have been introduced to clarify the puzzle of relaxation and/or equilibration in closed quantum systems. All of these concepts rely in some way on specific conditions on Hamiltonians $H$, observables $A$, and…

We study the long-time evolution of the bipartite entanglement in translationally invariant gapped harmonic lattice systems with finite-range interactions. A lower bound for the von Neumann entropy is derived in terms of the purity of the…

The paper presents realization theory of discrete-time linear switched systems. A discrete-time linear switched system is a hybrid system, such that the continuous sub-system associated with each discrete state is linear. In this paper we…

A simple one-dimensional cellular automaton model with threshold dynamics is introduced. The cumulative distribution of the size of the relaxations is analytically computed and behaves as a power law with an exponent equal to -1. This…

We want to understand how relaxation process from an initial non-generic state proceeds towards a long-time typical state reached under unitary quantum evolution. One would expect that after some initial correlation time relaxation will be…

The Parker conjecture, which explores whether magnetic fields in perfectly conducting plasmas can develop tangential discontinuities during magnetic relaxation, remains an open question in astrophysics. Helicity conservation provides a…

This paper deals with the control synthesis problem for a continuous nonlinear dynamical system under a Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) formula. The proposed solution is a top-down hierarchical decomposition of the control problem involving…

Closed-loop positivity of feedback interconnections of positive monotone nonlinear systems is investigated. It is shown that an instantaneous gain condition on the open-loop systems which implies feedback well-posedness also guarantees…

Landauer's formula is the standard theoretical tool to examine ballistic transport in nano- and meso-scale junctions, but it necessitates that any variation of the junction with time must be slow compared to characteristic times of the…

We consider optimization algorithms that are open systems, that is, with external inputs and outputs. Such algorithms arise for instance, when analyzing the effect of noise or disturbance on an algorithm, or when an algorithm is part of…

We combine Patankar-type methods with suitable relaxation procedures that are capable of ensuring correct dissipation or conservation of functionals such as entropy or energy while producing unconditionally positive and conservative…

We investigate the stability properties of discrete and hybrid stochastic nonlinear dynamical systems. More precisely, we extend the stochastic contraction theorems (which were formulated for continuous systems) to the case of discrete and…

The Donsker-Varadhan rate function for occupation-time fluctuations has been seen numerically to exhibit monotone return to stationary nonequilibrium [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 010601 (2011)]. That rate function is related to dynamical activity…

As well-known, the concept "hypercyclic" in operator theory is the same as the concept "transitive" in dynamical system. Now the class of hypercyclic operators is well studied. Following the idea of research in hypercyclic operators, we…

Here we study the relaxation of a chain consisting of 3 masses joined by non-linear springs and periodic conditions when the stiffness is weakened. This system, when expressed in their normal coordinates, yields a softened Henon-Heiles…
