Control systems operating in the real world face countless sources of unpredictable uncertainties. These random disturbances can render deterministic guarantees inapplicable and cause catastrophic safety failures. To overcome this, this…
The data generated by long-delayed dynamical systems can be organized in patterns by means of the so-called spatio-temporal representation, uncovering the role of multiple time-scales as independent degrees of freedom. However, their…
We describe a method to model nonlinear dynamical systems using periodic solutions of delay-differential equations. We show that any finite-time trajectory of a nonlinear dynamical system can be loaded approximately into the initial…
Compartment models with delay terms are widely used across a range of disciplines. The motivation to include delay terms varies across different contexts. In epidemiological and pharmacokinetic models, the delays are often used to represent…
Glass transitions are widely observed in various types of soft matter systems. However, the physical mechanism of these transitions remains {elusive}, despite years of ambitious research. In particular, an important unanswered question is…
This paper investigates the design of a subclass of time-varying Control Barrier Functions (CBFs), specifically that of uniformly time-varying CBFs. Leveraging the fact that CBFs encode a system's dynamic capabilities relative to a state…
Delay-coordinate maps have been widely used recently to study nonlinear dynamical systems, where there is only access to the time series of one of their variables. Here, we show how the partial control method can be applied in this kind of…
We study non-terminating graph rewriting models, whose local rules are applied non-deterministically -- and yet enjoy a strong form of determinism, namely space-time determinism. Of course in the case of terminating computation it is…
Conditional Normalizing Flows (CNFs) are flexible generative models capable of representing complicated distributions with high dimensionality and large interdimensional correlations, making them appealing for structured output learning.…
This work redefines the framework of chaos in dynamical systems by extending Devaney's definition to multiple mappings, emphasizing the pivotal role of nonlinearity. We propose a novel theorem demonstrating how nonlinear dynamics within a…
Linear dynamical systems are canonical models for learning-based control of plants with uncertain dynamics. The setting consists of a stochastic differential equation that captures the state evolution of the plant understudy, while the true…
Time-varying linear state-space models are powerful tools for obtaining mathematically interpretable representations of neural signals. For example, switching and decomposed models describe complex systems using latent variables that evolve…
The finite duration of collisions appear as time-nonlocality in the kinetic equation. Analyzing the corresponding quantum kinetic equation for dense interacting Fermi systems a delay differential equation is obtained which combines time…
Delay is an important and ubiquitous aspect of many biochemical processes. For example, delay plays a central role in the dynamics of genetic regulatory networks as it stems from the sequential assembly of first mRNA and then protein.…
We review the behaviour of the Gibbs' and conditional entropies in deterministic and stochastic systems and continue to a formulation appropriate for a stochastically perturbed system with delayed dynamics. The underlying question driving…
A method for detecting possible non-deterministic dynamics underlying a time series is introduced. Non-deterministic dynamics may arise due to the failure of the Lipschitz condition in the equations of motion. At a singular point, the phase…
Recent work in dynamical systems theory has shown that many properties that are associated with irreversible processes in fluids can be understood in terms of the dynamical properties of reversible, Hamiltonian systems. That is,…
Lossy channel systems (LCSs) are systems of finite state automata that communicate via unreliable unbounded fifo channels. In order to circumvent the undecidability of model checking for nondeterministic LCSs, probabilistic models have been…
This paper investigates the stability properties of a nonlinear fractional differential equation with two discrete delays and a delay-dependent coefficient. Such equations arise in various biological and control systems where temporal…
The complex spatiotemporal patterns of atmospheric flows resulting from the cooperative existence of fluctuations ranging in size from millimeters to thousands of kilometers are found to exhibit long-range spatial and temporal correlations…
