The class of nilpotent groups of class c and prime exponent p> c with additional predicates Pc ⊆Pc−1 ⊆ . . . ⊆P1 for suitable subgroups has the amalgamation property. Hence the Fräıssé limit D of the finite groups of this class exists. 〈1〉⊆Pc(D)⊆ . . . ⊆P2(D)⊆P1(D)=D is the lower and the upper central series of D. In this extended language, D is ultrahomogeneous. The elementary theory of D allo...

We present GPU and APU accelerated computations of Finite-Time Lyapunov Exponent (FTLE) fields. The calculation of FTLEs is a computationally intensive process, as in order to obtain the sharp ridges associated with the Lagrangian Coherent Structures an extensive resampling of the flow field is required. The computational performance of this resampling is limited by the memory bandwidth of the ...

The ergodic theory and geometry of the Julia set of meromorphic functions on the complex plane with polynomial Schwarzian derivative is investigated under the condition that the forward trajectory of asymptotic values in the Julia set is bounded and the map f restricted to its closure is expanding, the property refered to as subexpanding. We first show the existence, uniqueness, conservativity ...

In this work we have studied the dynamic scaling behavior of two scaling functions and we have shown that scaling functions obey the dynamic finite size scaling rules. Dynamic finite size scaling of scaling functions opens possibilities for a wide range of applications. As an application we have calculated the dynamic critical exponent (z) of Wolff’s cluster algorithm for 2-, 3and 4-dimensional...

From a kinematical point of view, the geometrical information of hamiltonian chaos is given by the (un)stable directions, while the dynamical information is given by the Lyapunov exponents. The finite time Lyapunov exponents are of particular importance in physics. The spatial variations of the finite time Lyapunov exponent and its associated (un)stable direction are related. Both of them are f...

The sensitivity of trajectories over finite-time intervals t to perturbations of the initial conditions can be associated with a finite-time Lyapunov exponent lambda, obtained from the elements M(ij) of the stability matrix M. For globally chaotic dynamics, lambda tends to a unique value (the usual Lyapunov exponent lambda(infinity)) for almost all trajectories as t is sent to infinity, but for...

We study a unitary version of the one-dimensional Anderson model, given by a five diagonal deterministic unitary operator multiplicatively perturbed by a random phase matrix. We fully characterize positivity and vanishing of the Lyapunov exponent for this model throughout the spectrum and for arbitrary distributions of the random phases. This includes Bernoulli distributions, where in certain c...

Following a recent suggestion by Nielsen, Rugh, and Rugh, we study the energy scaling of the maximal Lyapunov exponent of classical Hamiltonian SU(2) lattice gauge theory. It is shown that the conjectured scaling behavior λ0 ∼ E1/4 at small energies on the lattice is a finite-time artifact. New numerical results for the maximal Lyapunov exponent are presented for lattices up to size 20 and over...

We study bispecial factors in fixed points of morphisms. In particular, we propose a simple method of how to find all bispecial words of non-pushy circular D0L-systems. This method can be formulated as an algorithm. Moreover, we prove that non-pushy circular D0L-systems are exactly those with finite critical exponent. keywords: bispecial factors, circular D0L systems, non-pushy D0L systems, cri...

A conceptually simple method for derivation of lower bounds on the error exponent of specific families of block codes used on classical-quantum channels with arbitrary signal states over a finite Hilbert space is presented. It is shown that families of binary block codes with appropriately rescaled binomial multiplicity enumerators used on binary classical-quantum channels and decoded by the su...
