Abstract

We consider the system of $N$ ($\ge2$) elastically colliding hard balls of masses $m_1,...,m_N$ and radius $r$ in the flat unit torus $\Bbb T^ν$, $ν\ge2$. In the case $ν=2$ we prove (the full hyperbolicity and) the ergodicity of such systems for every selection $(m_1,...,m_N;r)$ of the external geometric parameters, without exceptional values. In higher dimensions, for hard ball systems in $\Bbb T^ν$ ($ν\ge3$), we prove that every such system (is fully hyperbolic and) has open ergodic components.

Regional Input-to-State Stability for Systems on Riemannian Manifolds

In this paper, we study regional input-to-state stability (regional ISS) for time-varying control systems evolving on connected and complete Riemannian manifolds with a prescribed open state domain. Using the Riemannian distance, we formulate the notion of a region of ISS and introduce an ISS-Lyapunov function. We prove that the existence of such a function implies regional ISS in an explicitly estimated geodesic ball and yields a corresponding admissible input bound. Under additional geometric and dynamical assumptions, this region can be enlarged to the largest geodesic ball centered at the equilibrium point and contained in the prescribed state domain. Examples under the Euclidean and hyperbolic metrics show that different Riemannian metrics may lead to different estimates for the same system.

From Markovian actions to Anosov flows

In this paper, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a group action on a bifoliated plane to arise from a topological Anosov flow supported by an orientable $3$-manifold. More precisely, we show that a group action on a non-singular bifoliated plane arises from such a flow if and only if it is an orientation preserving strong Markovian action, that is, an orientation preserving action of the plane preserving a family of rectangles satisfying suitable Markov-type properties. Furthermore, we prove that this family of rectangles can be lifted to a Markov partition of the associated flow.

Characterizing resonant solitary states as relative equilibria via normal form reduction

We investigate solitary states in coupled oscillator networks, where a single oscillator detaches from a synchronized cluster and evolves at a distinct mean frequency. We focus on resonant solitary states, in which the mean frequency of the detached oscillator is shaped by resonance with a mode of the cluster. Here, we introduce a normal-form and symmetry-based approach to identify such states. We reduce the high-dimensional network dynamics to a two-dimensional second-order system that couples a rotator representing the solitary oscillator to a harmonic oscillator representing the dominant Laplacian mode of the cluster. We use normal-form transformations to introduce symmetry into this system. Using this symmetry, we reformulate the frequency selection problem as the search for relative equilibria of the normal form symmetry. We derive explicit algebraic conditions for the existence of these relative equilibria, and hence for resonant solitary states and their effective frequencies.
