Abstract

In this paper, we consider the problem of finding surrogate models for large-scale second-order linear time-invariant systems with inhomogeneous initial conditions. For this class of systems, the superposition principle allows us to decompose the system behavior into three independent components. The first behavior corresponds to the transfer between the input and output having zero initial conditions. In contrast, the other two correspond to the transfer between the initial position and the initial velocity conditions having zero input, respectively. Based on this superposition of systems, our goal is to propose model reduction schemes allowing to preserve the second-order structure in the surrogate models. To this aim, we introduce tailored second-order Gramians for each system component and compute them numerically, solving Lyapunov equations. As a consequence, two methodologies are proposed. The first one consists in reducing each of the components independently using a suitable balanced truncation procedure. The sum of these reduced systems provides an approximation of the original system. This methodology allows flexibility on the order of the reduced-order model. The second proposed methodology consists in extracting the dominant subspaces from the sum of Gramians to build the projection matrices leading to a surrogate model. Additionally, we discuss error bounds for the overall output approximation. Finally, the proposed methods are illustrated by means of benchmark problems.

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
