A Model for Kidney Tissue Damage under High Speed Loading

In a medical procedure to comminute kidney stones the patient is subjected to hypersonic waves focused at the stone. Unfortunately such shock waves also damage the surrounding kidney tissue. We present here a model for the mechanical response of the soft tissue to such a high speed loading regime. The material model combines shear induced plasticity with irreversible volumetric expansion as induced, e.g., by cavitating bubbles. The theory is based on a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient and on an internal variable formulation of continuum thermodynamics. By the use of logarithmic and exponential mappings the stress update algorithms are extended from small‐strain to the finite deformation range. In that way the time‐discretized version of the porous‐viscoplastic constitutive updates is described in a fully variational manner. By numerical experiments we study the shock‐wave propagation into the tissue and analyze the resulting stress states. A first finite element simulation shows localized damage in the human kidney.

Dynamical convergence of polynomials to the exponential

In this paper we investigate the relationship between the dynamics of the polynomials maps p_d,λ(z)=(1+z/d)^d and the exponential family E_λ(z)=λc^z. We show that the hyperbolic components of the parameter planes for the polynomials converge to those for the exponential family as the degree d tends to infinity. We also show that certain "hairs"in the parameter plane for the exponential are limits of correspondings external rays for the polynomial families. For parameter values on the hairs, the Julia sets for the corresponding exponentials are the entire plane whereas, for polynomial parameters on the external rays, the Julia sets are Cantor sets     

Dynamical approach to some problems in integral geometry

As is well known, the main problem in integral geometry is to reconstruct a function in a given domain , where its integrals over a family of subdomains in are known. Such a problem is interesting not only as an object of pure analysis, but also in connection with various applications in practical disciplines. The most remarkable example of such a connection is the Radon problem and tomography. In this paper we solve one of these problems when is a bounded domain in with a piecewise smooth boundary. Some intermediate results related to dynamical systems with two generators and to some functional-integral equations are new and interesting per se. As an application of the results obtained we briefly study a boundary problem for a general third order hyperbolic partial differential equation in a bounded domain with data on the whole boundary .

     

A Quantum Dynamical Approach to Matrix Khrushchev's Formulas

Khrushchev's formula is the cornerstone of the so‐called Khrushchev theory, a body of results which has revolutionized the theory of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. This formula can be understood as a factorization of the Schur function for an orthogonal polynomial modification of a measure on the unit circle. No such formula is known in the case of matrix‐valued measures. This constitutes the main obstacle to generalize Khrushchev theory to the matrix‐valued setting, which we overcome in this paper. It was recently discovered that orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle and their matrix‐valued versions play a significant role in the study of quantum walks, the quantum mechanical analogue of random walks. In particular, Schur functions turn out to be the mathematical tool which best codify the return properties of a discrete time quantum system, a topic in which Khrushchev's formula has profound and surprising implications. We will show that this connection between Schur functions and quantum walks is behind a simple proof of Khrushchev's formula via “quantum” diagrammatic techniques for CMV matrices. This does not merely give a quantum meaning to a known mathematical result, since the diagrammatic proof also works for matrix‐valued measures. Actually, this path‐counting approach is so fruitful that it provides different matrix generalizations of Khrushchev's formula, some of them new even in the case of scalar measures. Furthermore, the path‐counting approach allows us to identify the properties of CMV matrices which are responsible for Khrushchev's formula. On the one hand, this helps to formalize and unify the diagrammatic proofs using simple operator theory tools. On the other hand, this is the origin of our main result which extends Khrushchev's formula beyond the CMV case, as a factorization rule for Schur functions related to general unitary operators.© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

The Dynamical System Approach to Multivariate Data Analysis

In this survey a number of problems arising in multivariate data analysis (MDA) are listed and reformulated as matrix fitting (e.g., least-squares, maximum likelihood, etc.) constrained optimization problems (OPs). The goal is to demonstrate that consideration and solution of these diverse MDA problems can be unified by means of the dynamical system approach. The approach transforms the MDA problems into dynamical systems on a manifold defined by the constraints of the original OP.

Conserved Quantities and Symmetries Related to Stochastic Dynamical Systems

The present article focuses on the three topics related to the notions of "conserved quantities" and "symmetries" in stochastic dynamical systems described by stochastic differential equations of Stratonovich type. The first topic is concerned with the relation between conserved quantities and symmetries in stochastic Hamilton dynamical systems, which is established in a way analogous to that in the deterministic Hamilton dynamical theory. In contrast with this, the second topic is devoted to investigate the procedures to derive conserved quantities from symmetries of stochastic dynamical systems without using either the Lagrangian or Hamiltonian structure. The results in these topics indicate that the notion of symmetries is useful for finding conserved quantities in various stochastic dynamical systems. As a further important application of symmetries, the third topic treats the similarity method to stochastic dynamical systems. That is, it is shown that the order of a stochastic system can be reduced, if the system admits symmetries. In each topic, some illustrative examples for stochastic dynamical systems and their conserved quantities and symmetries are given.     

Dynamical coherence of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of tori isotopic to Anosov

We show that partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of \(d\) -dimensional tori isotopic to an Anosov diffeomorphism, where the isotopy is contained in the set of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms, are dynamically coherent. Moreover, we show a global stability result, i.e. every partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism as above is leaf-conjugate to the linear one. As a consequence, we obtain intrinsic ergodicity and measure equivalence for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with one-dimensional center direction that are isotopic to Anosov diffeomorphisms through such a path.     

Multiplicity of Positive Periodic Solutions to Second Order Singular Dynamical Systems

The existence and multiplicity of non-collision periodic solutions for second order singular dynamical systems are discussed in this paper. Using the Green’s function of linear differential equation, we consider general singularity and do not need any kind of strong force condition. The proof relies on a nonlinear alternative principle of Leray–Schauder and a fixed point theorem in cones.     

A Variational Approach to Dynamical Systems and Its Numerical Simulation

We propose and describe an alternative perspective to the study and numerical approximation of dynamical systems. It is based on a variational approach that seeks to minimize the quadratic error understood as a deviation of paths from being a solution of the corresponding system. Although this philosophy has been examined recently from the point of view of the direct method, we exploit optimality conditions and steepest descent strategies to establish precise and easy-to-implement numerical schemes for the approximation. We show the practical performance in a number of selected examples and indicate how this strategy, with minor changes, may also be used to deal with boundary value problems. Our emphasis is placed more so on relevant results that justify the numerical implementation and less on abstract theoretical results under optimal sets of assumptions.

Dynamical Systems Related to Fractional Hamiltonians on the Two-Dimensional Sphere

We consider a class of fractional Hamiltonian systems generalizing the classical problem of motion in a central field. Our analysis is based on transforming an integrable Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom on the plane into a dynamical system that is defined on the sphere and inherits the integrals of motion of the original system. We show that in the four-dimensional space of structural parameters, there exists a one-dimensional manifold (containing the case of the planar Kepler problem) along which the closedness of the orbits of all finite motions and the third Kepler law are preserved. Similarly, there exists a one-dimensional manifold (containing the case of the two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator) along which the closedness of the orbits and the isochronism of oscillations are preserved. Any deformation of orbits on these manifolds does not violate the hidden symmetry typical of the two-dimensional isotropic oscillator and the planar Kepler problem. We also consider two-dimensional manifolds on which all systems are characterized by the same rotation number for the orbits of all finite motions.Deceased
