Abstract

We conduct a topological--numerical analysis of global dynamics in a discrete-time two-gene Andrecut--Kauffman model. This model describes gene expression regulation through nonlinear interactions. We use a numerical method to construct Morse decomposition of the system across a wide range of parameters at a fixed finite resolution in the state space and in the parameter space, both spaces split into uniform rectangular grids (a technique also called "pixelation"). We obtain qualitative results by effectively computing the Conley indices of the constructed isolating neighborhoods that form the Morse decomposition. We represent the Morse decomposition and connecting orbits by a directed acyclic graph. We introduce pictograms to convey the information provided by the Conley index in an easy to understand schematic way. We show and analyze bifurcations captured using this technique. We call this method CMAD for short (Conley-Morse graphs for the Analysis of Dynamics). The main advantage of our method is that it finds isolating neighborhoods of both stable and unstable invariant sets and that it provides validated (rigorous) numerical results: we actually obtain computer assisted proof that the constructed sets are indeed isolating neighborhoods of Morse sets in a certain Morse decomposition of the system. In particular, this means that we have captured all the interesting dynamics within the analyzed range of the phase space perceived at the given finite resolution. We also conduct numerical simulations aimed at showing the location of attractors in the isolating neighborhoods found. The results demonstrate the usefulness of topological methods in understanding the global structure of dynamics at finite (coarse) resolution in an applied dynamical system depending on a few parameters, like the gene regulatory model that we analyze.

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.
