In this work, we extend Aubry-Mather theory to the case of control systems with nonholonomic constraints. In this framework, we consider an optimal control problem where admissible trajectories are solutions of a control-affine equation.…
M. Kruskal showed that each nearly-periodic dynamical system admits a formal $U(1)$ symmetry, generated by the so-called roto-rate. We prove that such systems also admit nearly-invariant manifolds of each order, near which rapid…
We check that several properties of the Aubry set, first proven for finite-dimensional Lagrangians by Mather and Fathi, continue to hold in the case of the infinitely many interacting particles of the Vlasov equation on the circle.
We consider the irrational Aubry-Mather sets of an exact symplectic monotone twist map and explain what is the link between the Lyapunov exponents and the shape of such a set. The main tools that we use in the proofs are the so-called Green…
We analyze the dynamical equations obeyed by a classical system with position-dependent mass. It is shown that there is a non-conservative force quadratic in the velocity associated to the variable mass. We construct the Lagrangian and the…
Contact Hamiltonian dynamics is a subject that has still a short history, but with relevant applications in many areas: thermodynamics, cosmology, control theory, and neurogeometry, among others. In recent years there has been a great…
In this work we introduce contact Hamiltonian mechanics, an extension of symplectic Hamiltonian mechanics, and show that it is a natural candidate for a geometric description of non-dissipative and dissipative systems. For this purpose we…
We study the evolution, under convex Hamiltonian flows on cotangent bundles of compact manifolds, of certain distinguished subsets of the phase space. These subsets are generalizations of Lagrangian graphs, we call them pseudographs. They…
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of globally minimizing orbits of contact Hamiltonian systems. Under some assumptions, we prove that the $\omega$-limit set of globally minimizing orbits is contained in the set of semi-static…
The transition from rotational to discontinuous behavior of the return map of the perturbed oscillators-step system, a paradigm model for a perturbation of a pseudo-integrable Hamiltonian impact system, is studied. The form of the return…
When the Poincar\'{e} map associated with a periodic orbit of a hybrid dynamical system has constant-rank iterates, we demonstrate the existence of a constant-dimensional invariant subsystem near the orbit which attracts all nearby…
We investigate the dynamical properties of an interacting many-body system with a non-trivial energy potential landscape that may induce a singular continuous single-particle energy spectrum. Focusing on the Aubry-Andr\'e model, whose…
For mechanical Hamiltonian systems on the torus, we study the dynamical properties of the generalized characteristics semiflows associated with certain Hamilton-Jacobi equations, and build the relation between the $\omega$-limit set of this…
Coherent sets are time-dependent regions in the physical space of nonautonomous flows that exhibit little mixing with their neighborhoods, robustly under small random perturbations of the flow. They thus characterize the global long-term…
Finding special orbits (as periodic orbits) of dynamical systems by variational methods and especially by minimization methods is an old method (just think to the geodesic flow). More recently, new results concerning the existence of…
In this document, some structured operator approximation theoretical methods for system identification of nearly eventually periodic systems, are presented. Let $\mathbb{C}^{n\times m}$ denote the algebra of $n\times m$ complex matrices.…
We study the transport properties of nonautonomous chaotic dynamical systems over a finite time duration. We are particularly interested in those regions that remain coherent and relatively non-dispersive over finite periods of time,…
We consider discrete-time switching systems composed of a finite family of affine sub-dynamics. First, we recall existing results and present further analysis on the stability problem, the existence and characterization of compact…
Contraction theory for dynamical systems on Euclidean spaces is well-established. For contractive (resp. semi-contractive) systems, the distance (resp. semi-distance) between any two trajectories decreases exponentially fast. For partially…
Hamiltonian tridiagonal matrices characterized by multi-fractal spectral measures in the family of Iterated Function Systems can be constructed by a recursive technique here described. We prove that these Hamiltonians are almost-periodic.…
