Shadowing. State of art and open questions. |
|
Shadowing theory study properties of approximate trajectories of
homeomorphisms and diffeomorphisms.
This notion is important for stability theory and for
theoretical motivation of numerical simulations.
I give an overview of main results in this theory,
both classical and recent.
As well I will give perspectives for future development in this theory.
The Talk is based on joint works with S. Pilyugin, A.Osipov, K. Palmer. |

Time-evolution of Probability Measures on Collision Trees - a Tool for Micro-macro Transitions |
|
A method is presented to show the validity of continuum
description for the deterministic dynamics of many interacting
particles
with random initial data. Considering a simplified case of
hard-spehere
dynamics, where particles are removed after the first collision. We
characterize the many particle flow by collision trees which encode
possible collisions. The convergence of the many-particle dynamics to
the Boltzmann dynamics is achieved via the convergence of associated
probability measures on collision trees. These probability measures
satisfy nonlinear Kolmogorov equations, which are crucial in the
convergence proof. Joint work with Florian Theil.

Random walks on groups |
|
We will talk about ''limit behaviour'' of trajectories of random walks on various groups. We will start from simple
examples such as random walks on Z2 or Zd for d>2. We will see that almost every trajectory of a random walk
(with nondegenerate measure) on a free non-abelian group converges to the boundary of the free group
(homeomorphic to the Cantor set). Finally, we will consider the case of a random walk on an arbitrary group
that has a normal free non-abelian subgroup (or a normal hyperbolic subgroup).

Sturm permutations for S1-equivariant Sturm attractors |
We consider semilinear parabolic equations of the form ut = uxx + f(u,ux)
defined on the circle x ∈ S1 = R/2πZ and for dissipative nonlinearity f.
Using the Sturm permutation introduced for the characterization of Neumann flows,
we obtain a characterization for the Sturm attractors Af in this class of problems.
This is based on a joint work with Bernold Fiedler and Mathias Wolfrum.
