Unbounded Sturm attractors for quasilinear parabolic equations
|
| We construct the global attractors of quasilinear parabolic equations when solution can also grow-up (i.e., infinite time blow-up), in which case the attractor is unbounded with an induced nonlinear flow at infinity. In case of asymptotically semilinear diffusion, we prove that the induced flow at infinity is gradient and consists of unbounded equilibria with their unbounded heteroclinics orbits. Moreover, we explicitly prove the occurrence of heteroclinics between bounded and/or unbounded hyperbolic equilibria, noticing that the diffusion and reaction compete at infinity as regards the dimension of the unbounded dynamics.

Sensitivity and Oscillations in Reaction Networks
|
| We present some attempts to understand the dynamics of metabolic and gene regulatory networks, based on their graph structure, only.
We describe steady state sensitivity to perturbed reaction rates based on joint work with Bernhard Brehm, and by Nicola Vassena. We also explore sufficient conditions for global Hopf bifurcation of time periodic oscillations.
Specific examples include the citric acid cycle, and genetic circadian clocks in mammals.
Talk at the NCTS Webinar on Nonlinear Evolutionary Dynamics

Symmetry Groupoids in Dynamical Systems - Spatio-temporal
Patterns and a Generalized Equivariant Bifurcation Theory
|
| In this talk I will give an introduction and overview of my habilitation thesis. First, we redefine
symmetry in dynamical systems and differential equations. Roughly speaking, symmetries
are described by linear isomorphisms on flow-invariant linear subspaces which map solutions
of dynamical systems to solutions. This allows us to prove generalized "equivaroid" versions
of the equivariant branching lemma and the equivariant Lyapunov‒Schmidt reduction, as well
as an extension of the equivaroid branching lemma which allows higher dimensional kernels.
Second, we take a new perspective on spatio-temporal patterns of time-periodic solutions of differential
equations. Specifically, we define spatio-temporal patterns as a groupoid acting directly
on the space of periodic solutions, more precisely as a linear isomorphism which acts on the
phase space and a component-wise time-shift. This construction gives us a new classification of
spatio-temporal patterns beyond rotating and discrete waves. To prove the existence of such patterns,
we generalize the equivariant Hopf bifurcation theorem, including a version which allows
for higher dimensional kernels and thereby multi-frequency patterns. Lastly, we ask to construct
dynamical systems with groupoid symmetries, where we focus on the rational design of networks
with prescribed symmetries. Here we find that the relevant algebraic object is in fact the symmetry
monoid paired to a given flow-invariant subspace.

Under construction
|
| In this talk I want to share with the group a handful of messy and inconclusive thoughts concerning identification/exclusion of Hopf bifurcations in parametric systems.
