Abstract

We propose a model of the circadian clock in a population of cells based on a network of oscillators, derived from the Kuramoto model. The coupling between oscillators is described by a global interaction term but we introduce a phase-dependent coupling mechanism, such that oscillators interact only within a specific interval of the cycle corresponding to a specific stage of the circadian cycle. We analytically demonstrate that this modified system achieves complete asymptotic phase synchronisation, provided specific conditions on the initial phase distribution and the coupling window length are met. To bridge this theoretical framework with experimental observations, we introduce a signal processing procedure based on wavelet decomposition to extract quantitative oscillatory features from Per2::luciferase reporter traces. We then calibrate the model against datasets from both wild type and Cry2 knockout hepatocyte spheroids using a two-step quasi-Monte Carlo filtering algorithm. The comparative analysis reveals significant phenotypic divergence, showing that the Cry2KO condition alters the identifiability landscape of the model's parameters and introduces new compensatory mechanisms that confound the initial population heterogeneity with long-term macroscopic signal decay.

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.
