Abstract In some recent papers, the so called ( H , ρ ) -induced dynamics of a system S whose time evolution is deduced adopting an operatorial approach, borrowed in part from quantum mechanics, has been introduced. Here, H is the Hamiltonian for S , while ρ is a certain rule applied periodically (or not) on S . The analysis carried on throughout this paper shows that, replacing the Heisenberg dynamics with the ( H , ρ ) -induced one, we obtain a simple, and somehow natural, way to prove that some relevant dynamical variables of S may converge, for large t , to certain asymptotic values. This cannot be so, for finite dimensional systems, if no rule is considered. In this case, in fact, any Heisenberg dynamics implemented by a suitable hermitian operator H can only give an oscillating behavior. We prove our claims both analytically and numerically for a simple system with two degrees of freedom, and then we apply our general scheme to a model describing a biological system of bacteria living in a two-dimensional lattice, where two different choices of the rule are considered.
