Complex time-varying networks are prominent models for a wide variety of spatiotemporal phenomena. The functioning of networks depends crucially on their connectivity, yet reliable techniques for determining communities in spacetime networks remain elusive. We adapt successful spectral techniques from continuous-time dynamics on manifolds to the graph setting to fill this gap. We formulate an {it inflated dynamic Laplacian} for graphs and develop a spectral theory to underpin the corresponding algorithmic realisations. We develop spectral clustering approaches for both multiplex and non-multiplex networks, based on the eigenvectors of the inflated dynamic Laplacian and specialised Sparse EigenBasis Approximation (SEBA) post-processing of these eigenvectors. We demonstrate that our approach can outperform the Leiden algorithm applied both in spacetime and layer-by-layer, and we analyse voting data from the US senate (where senators come and go as congresses evolve) to quantify increasing polarisation in time.

In this paper we consider an initial-boundary value problem related to some network dynamics where the underlying graph has unbounded edges. We show that there exists a C0-semigroup for this problem using a general result from the literature. We also find an explicit formula for this semigroup. This is achieved using the method of characteristics and then showing that the Laplace transform of the solution is equal to the resolvent operator of the generator.

We prove that skew products with the cocycle given by the function $f(x)=a(x-1/2)$ with $aneq 0$ are ergodic for every ergodic symmetric IET in the base, thus giving the full characterization of ergodic extensions in this family. Moreover, we prove that under an additional natural assumption of unique ergodicity on the IET, we can replace $f$ with any differentiable function with a non-zero sum of jumps. Finally, by considering weakly mixing IETs instead of just ergodic, we show that the skew products with cocycle given by $f$ have infinite ergodic index.
我们证明,由函数$f(x)=a(x-1/2)$与$a/neq 0$给出的循环的斜积对于基内的每一个遍历对称IET都是遍历的,从而给出了这个家族中遍历扩展的全部特征。此外,我们还证明,在 IET 唯一遍历性的额外自然假设下,我们可以用任何具有非零跳跃之和的可微函数来代替 $f$。最后,通过考虑弱混合 IET 而不是仅仅考虑遍历性,我们证明了由 $f$ 给定循环的斜积具有无限遍历指数。

We study the computational complexity theory of smooth, finite-dimensional dynamical systems. Building off of previous work, we give definitions for what it means for a smooth dynamical system to simulate a Turing machine. We then show that 'chaotic' dynamical systems (more precisely, Axiom A systems) and 'integrable' dynamical systems (more generally, measure-preserving systems) cannot robustly simulate universal Turing machines, although such machines can be robustly simulated by other kinds of dynamical systems. Subsequently, we show that any Turing machine that can be encoded into a structurally stable one-dimensional dynamical system must have a decidable halting problem, and moreover an explicit time complexity bound in instances where it does halt. More broadly, our work elucidates what it means for one 'machine' to simulate another, and emphasizes the necessity of defining low-complexity 'encoders' and 'decoders' to translate between the dynamics of the simulation and the system being simulated. We highlight how the notion of a computational dynamical system leads to questions at the intersection of computational complexity theory, dynamical systems theory, and real algebraic geometry.

Interest is growing in social learning models where users share opinions and adjust their beliefs in response to others. This paper introduces generalized-bias opinion models, an extension of the DeGroot model, that captures a broader range of cognitive biases. These models can capture, among others, dynamic (changing) influences as well as ingroup favoritism and out-group hostility, a bias where agents may react differently to opinions from members of their own group compared to those from outside. The reactions are formalized as arbitrary functions that depend, not only on opinion difference, but also on the particular opinions of the individuals interacting. Under certain reasonable conditions, all agents (despite their biases) will converge to a consensus if the influence graph is strongly connected, as in the original DeGroot model. The proposed approach combines different biases, providing deeper insights into the mechanics of opinion dynamics and influence within social networks.

We provide a cyclone model for dynamical simulations in the pyro-process of cement production. The model is given as an index-1 differential-algebraic equation (DAE) model based on first engineering principle. Using a systematic approach, the model integrates cyclone geometry, thermo-physical aspects, stoichiometry and kinetics, mass and energy balances, and algebraic equations for volume and internal energy. The paper provides simulation results that fit expected dynamics. The cyclone model is part of an overall model for dynamical simulations of the pyro-process in a cement plant. This model can be used in the design of control and optimization systems to improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emission.

In this paper, we extend the ideas of certain notions that one studies in thermodynamic formalism of maps to the context when the dynamics in the phase space evolves by complex holomorphic correspondences. Towards that end, we define the topological entropy of holomorphic correspondences using spanning sets. We then, define the pressure of a real-valued continuous function defined on the Riemann sphere and investigate the Ruelle operator with respect to the H"{o}lder continuous function, however restricted on the support of the Dinh-Sibony measure.

When a dynamical system is subject to a periodic perturbation, the averaging method can be applied to obtain an autonomous leading order `guiding system', placing the time dependence at higher orders. Recent research focused on investigating invariant structures in non-autonomous differential systems arising from hyperbolic structures in the guiding system, such as periodic orbits and invariant tori. The effect that bifurcations in the guiding system have on the original non-autonomous one has also been recently explored. This paper extends the study by providing a broader description of the dynamics that can emerge from non-hyperbolic structures of the guiding system. Specifically, we prove here that $K$-universal bifurcations in the guiding system persist in the original non-autonomous one, while non-versal bifurcations, such as the transcritical and pitchfork, do not, being instead perturbed into stable bifurcation families. We illustrate the results on examples of a fold, a transcritical, a pitchfork, and a saddle-focus. By applying these results to the physical scenario of systems with time-varying parameters, we show that the average parameter value becomes a bifurcation parameter of the averaged system.
