The paper presents the concept of a new type of algorithm for the numerical computation of what the authors call the essential dynamics of molecular systems. Mathematically speaking, such systems are described by Hamiltonian differential equations. In the bulk of applications, individual trajectories are of no specific interest. Rather, time averages of physical observables or relaxation times ...

The numerical approximation of Perron–Frobenius operators allows efficient determination of the physical invariant measure of chaotic dynamical systems as a fixed point of the operator. Eigenfunctions of the Perron–Frobenius operator corresponding to large subunit eigenvalues have been shown to describe “almost-invariant” dynamics in one-dimensional expanding maps. We extend these ideas to hype...

We introduce complex cones and associated projective gauges, generalizing a real Birkhoff cone and its Hilbert metric to complex vector spaces. We deduce a variety of spectral gap theorems in complex Banach spaces. We prove a dominated complex cone-contraction Theorem and use it to extend the classical Perron-Frobenius Theorem to complex matrices, Jentzsch’s Theorem to complex integral operator...

In this work, we extend a variable-length source coding theorem for discrete memoryless sources to ergodic time-invariant Markov sources of arbitrary order. To accomplish this extension, we establish a formula for the R enyi entropy rate limn!1 H(n)=n. The main tool used to obtain the R enyi entropy rate result is Perron-Frobenius theory. We also examine the expression of the R enyi en-tropy ra...

Although the theoretical behavior of one-dimensional random walks in random environments is well understood, the actual evaluation of various characteristics of such processes has received relatively little attention. This paper develops new methodology for the exact computation of the drift in such models. Focusing on random walks in dependent random environments, including k-dependent and mov...

We present results connecting the shape of the numerical range to intrinsic properties of a matrix A. When A is a nonnegative matrix, these results are to a large extent analogous to the Perron-Frobenius theory, especially as it pertains to irreducibility and cyclicity in the combinatorial sense. Special attention is given to polygonal, circular and elliptic numerical ranges. The main vehicles ...

We study finite quasi-quantum groups in their quiver setting developed recently by the first author. We obtain a classification of finite-dimensional pointed Majid algebras of finite corepresentation type, or equivalently a classification of elementary quasi-Hopf algebras of finite representation type, over the field of complex numbers. By the Tannaka-Krein duality principle, this provides a cl...

We deene a (chaotic) deterministic variant of random multiplicative cascade models of turbulence. It preserves the hierarchical tree structure , thanks to the addition of innnitesimal noise. The zero-noise limit can be handled by Perron-Frobenius theory, just as the zero-diiusivity limit for the fast dynamo problem. Random multiplicative models do not possess Kolmogorov 1941 (K41) scaling becau...

We consider the collective dynamics in an ensemble of globally coupled chaotic maps. The transition to the coherent state with a macroscopic mean field is analyzed in the framework of the linear response theory. The linear response function for the chaotic system is obtained using the perturbation approach to the Frobenius-Perron operator. The transition point is defined from this function by v...
