Abstract

The collective motion of self-driven agents is a phenomenon of great interest in interacting particle systems. In this paper, we develop and analyze a model of agent motion in one dimension with periodic boundaries using a stochastic port-Hamiltonian system (PHS). The interaction model is symmetric and based on nearest neighbors. The distance-based terms and kinematic relations correspond to the skew-symmetric Hamiltonian structure of the PHS, while the velocity difference terms make the system dissipative. The originality of the approaches lies in the stochastic noise that plays the role of an external input. It turns out that the stochastic PHS with a quadratic potential is an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, for which we explicitly determine the distribution for any time $t\ge 0$ and in the limit $t\to\infty$. We characterize the collective motion by showing that the agents' mean velocity is Brownian noise whose fluctuations increase with time, while the variance of the agents' velocities and distances, which quantify the coordination of the agents' motion, converge. The motion model does not specify a preferred direction of motion. However, assuming a equilibrium uniform starting configuration, the results show that the noise triggers rapidly coordinated agent motion determined by the Brownian behavior of the mean velocity. Interestingly, simulation results show that some theoretical properties obtained with the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process also hold for the nonlinear model with general interaction potential.

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.
