The wavelet Galerkin operator appears in several different contexts such as wavelets (see for example [Law91b], [Dau95], [CoDa96], [LLS96], [CoRa90]), ergodic theory and g-measures ([Kea82]) or quantum statistical mechanics ([Rue68]). For some of the applications of the Ruelle operator we refer the reader to the book by V. Baladi [Bal00]. It also bears many different names in the literature: th...

Let V be a vector space over a fully ordered field F. In Sec. 2 we characterize cones K with ascending chain condition (ACC) on faces of Ii. In Sec. 3 we show that if K has ACC on faces, then an operator A is strongly irreducible if and only if A is irreducible. In Sec. 4 we prove theorems of Perron-Frobenius type for a strongly irreducible operator A in the case that FR, the real field, and K ...

The models of collective decision-making considered in this paper are nonlinear interconnected cooperative systems with saturating interactions. These systems encode the possible outcomes of a decision process into different steady states of the dynamics. In particular, they are characterized by two main attractors in the positive and negative orthant, representing two choices of agreement amon...

We develop a new collection of tools aimed at studying stochastically perturbed dynamical systems. Specifically, in the setting of bi-stability, that is a two-attractor system, it has previously been numerically observed that a small noise volume is sufficient to destroy would be zero-noise case barriers in the phase space (pseudo-barriers), thus creating a pre-heteroclinic tangency chaos-like ...

We analyze the effects of stochastic perturbations in a physical example occurring as a higher-dimensional dynamical system. The physical model is that of a class- B laser, which is perturbed stochastically with finite noise. The effect of the noise perturbations on the dynamics is shown to change the qualitative nature of the dynamics experimentally from a stochastic periodic attractor to one ...

We show that the Witt class of a weakly group-theoretical non-degenerate braided fusion category belongs to the subgroup generated by classes of non-degenerate pointed braided fusion categories and Ising braided categories. This applies in particular to solvable nondegenerate braided fusion categories. We also give some sufficient conditions for a braided fusion category to be weakly group-theo...

We present an extension of Perron–Frobenius theory to the spectra and numerical ranges of Perron polynomials, namely, matrix polynomials of the form L(λ) = Iλ − Am−1λm−1 − · · · − A1λ− A0, where the coefficient matrices are entrywise nonnegative. Our approach relies on the companion matrix linearization. First, we recount the generalization of the Perron–Frobenius Theorem to Perron polynomials ...

By a nonnegative matrix we mean a matrix whose entries are nonnegative real numbers. By positive matrix we mean a matrix all of whose entries are strictly positive real numbers. These notes give the core elements of the Perron-Frobenius theory of nonnegative matrices. This splits into three parts: (1) the primitive case (due to Perron) (2) the irreducible case (due to Frobenius) (3) the general...

A cycle expansion technique for discrete sums of several PF operators, similar to the one used in the standard classical dynamical zeta-function formalism is constructed. It is shown that the corresponding expansion coefficients show an interesting universal behavior, which illustrates the details of the interference between the particular mappings entering the sum.

Sensors in the built environment ensure safety and comfort by tracking contaminants occupied space. In event of contaminant release, it is important to use limited sensor data rapidly accurately identify release location contaminant. Identification will enable subsequent remediation as well evacuation decision-making. previous work, we used an operator theoretic approach—based on Perron–Frobeni...
