The controversial concept of quantum chaos – the dynamical chaos in bounded mesoscopic quantum systems – is presented as the most important and universal instance of a new generic dynamical phenomenon: pseudochaos. The latter characterizes the irregular behaviour of dynamical systems with discrete energy and/or frequency spectrum, which include classical systems with discrete phase space. The q...

This paper gives a summary of a body of work at the intersection of control theory and smooth nonlinear dynamics. The main idea is to transfer the concept of uniform hyperbolicity, central to the theory of smooth dynamical systems, to controlaffine systems. Combining the strength of geometric control theory and the hyperbolic theory of dynamical systems, it is possible to deduce control-theoret...

Dual-processing accounts of reasoning have gained renewed attention in the past decade, particularly in the fields of social judgment, learning, and decision-making under uncertainty. Although the various accounts differ, the common thread is the distinction between two qualitatively different types of reasoning: explicit/implicit, rational/affective, fast/slow, etc. Consequently, much research...

Recurrent infection is characterized by short episodes of high viral reproduction, separated by long periods of relative quiescence. This recurrent pattern is observed in many persistent infections, including the “viral blips” observed during chronic infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although in-host models which incorporate forcing functions or stochastic elements have bee...

We apply computational Game Theory to a unification of physics-based models that represent decision-making across number agents within both cooperative and competitive processes. Here the competitors try positively influence their own returns, while negatively affecting those competitors. Modelling these interactions with so-called Boyd-Kuramoto-Lanchester (BKL) complex dynamical system model y...
