Ergodic properties of operators in some semi-Hilbertian spaces
2012
This article deals with linear operators T on a complex Hilbert space ℋ, which are bounded with respect to the seminorm induced by a positive operator A on ℋ. The A-adjoint and A 1/2-adjoint of T are considered to obtain some ergodic conditions for T with respect to A. These operators are also employed to investigate the class of orthogonally mean ergodic operators as well as that of A-power bounded operators. Some classes of orthogonally mean ergodic or A-ergodic operators, which come from the theory of generalized Toeplitz operators are considered. In particular, we give an example of an A-ergodic operator (with an injective A) which is not Cesaro ergodic, such that T * is not a quasiaff…
Local dimensions of measures on infinitely generated self-affine sets
2014
We show the existence of the local dimension of an invariant probability measure on an infinitely generated self-affine set, for almost all translations. This implies that an ergodic probability measure is exactly dimensional. Furthermore the local dimension equals the minimum of the local Lyapunov dimension and the dimension of the space. We also give an estimate, that holds for all translation vectors, with only assuming the affine maps to be contractive.
Generalized dimension distortion under planar Sobolev homeomorphisms

We prove essentially sharp dimension distortion estimates for planar Sobolev-Orlicz homeomorphisms.
Quantized Dissensus in Networks of Agents subject to Death and Duplication
2012
Dissensus is a modeling framework for networks of dynamic agents in competition for scarce resources. Originally inspired by biological cells behaviors, it fits also marketing, finance and many other application areas. Competition is often unstable in the sense that strong agents, those having access to large resources, gain more and more resources at the expense of weak agents. Thus, strong agents duplicate when reaching a critical amount of resources, whereas weak agents die when loosing all their resources. To capture all these phenomena we introduce systems with a discrete time gossip and unstable state dynamics interrupted by discrete events affecting the network topology. Invariancy o…
Application of a non linear local analysis method for the problem of mixed convection instability
2007
Abstract We consider the problem of laminar mixed convection flow between parallel, vertical and uniformly heated plates where the governing dimensionless parameters are the Prandtl, Rayleigh and Reynolds numbers. Using the method based on the centre manifold theorem which was derived from the general theory of dynamical systems, we reduce a three-dimensional simplified model of ordinary differential amplitude equations emanating from the original Navier-Stokes system of the problem in the vicinity of a trivial stationary solution. We have found that when the forcing parameter, the Rayleigh number, increases beyond the critical value Ra s , the stationary solution is a pitchfork bifurcation…
ATTRACTORS FOR A LATTICE DYNAMICAL SYSTEM GENERATED BY NON-NEWTONIAN FLUIDS MODELING SUSPENSIONS
2010
In this paper we consider a lattice dynamical system generated by a parabolic equation modeling suspension flows. We prove the existence of a global compact connected attractor for this system and the upper semicontinuity of this attractor with respect to finite-dimensional approximations. Also, we obtain a sequence of approximating discrete dynamical systems by the implementation of the implicit Euler method, proving the existence and the upper semicontinuous convergence of their global attractors.
Attractors of stochastic lattice dynamical systems with a multiplicative noise and non-Lipschitz nonlinearities
2012
AbstractIn this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of a first-order stochastic lattice dynamical system with a multiplicative noise.We do not assume any Lipschitz condition on the nonlinear term, just a continuity assumption together with growth and dissipative conditions, so that uniqueness of the Cauchy problem fails to be true.Using the theory of multi-valued random dynamical systems we prove the existence of a random compact global attractor.
Massive evaluation and analysis of Poincar�� recurrences on grids of initial data: a tool to map chaotic diffusion
2020
We present a novel numerical method aimed to characterize global behaviour, in particular chaotic diffusion, in dynamical systems. It is based on an analysis of the Poincar\'e recurrence statistics on massive grids of initial data or values of parameters. We concentrate on Hamiltonian systems, featuring the method separately for the cases of bounded and non-bounded phase spaces. The embodiments of the method in each of the cases are specific. We compare the performances of the proposed Poincar\'e recurrence method (PRM) and the custom Lyapunov exponent (LE) methods and show that they expose the global dynamics almost identically. However, a major advantage of the new method over the known g…
Stochastic response determination of structural systems modeled via dependent coordinates: a frequency domain treatment based on generalized modal an…
2019
Generalized independent coordinates are typically utilized within an analytical dynamics framework to model the motion of structural and mechanical engineering systems. Nevertheless, for complex systems, such as multi-body structures, an explicit formulation of the equations of motion by utilizing generalized, independent, coordinates can be a daunting task. In this regard, employing a set of redundant coordinates can facilitate the formulation of the governing dynamics equations. In this setting, however, standard response analysis techniques cannot be applied in a straightforward manner. For instance, defining and determining a transfer function within a frequency domain response analysis…
Information Decomposition: A Tool to Dissect Cardiovascular and Cardiorespiratory Complexity
2017
This chapter reports some recent developments of information-theoretic concepts applied to the description of coupled dynamical systems, which allow to decompose the entropy of an assigned target system into components reflecting the information stored in the system and the information transferred to it from the other systems, as well as the nature (synergistic or redundant) of the information transferred to the target. The decomposition leads to well-defined measures of information dynamics which in the chapter will be defined theoretically, computed in simulations of linear Gaussian systems and implemented in practice through the application to heart period, arterial pressure and respirat…
