Classical and quantum dynamical systems

Abstract

We intend to continue and extend our current research on dynamical systems. We divide our work in two basic areas: semiclassical physics of chaotic systems and applications of the theory of dynamical systems to biology. The main topics we shall investigate in these areas are: (a) semiclassical dynamics in the coherent states representation; (b) energy dissipation and decoherence in couppled systems; (c) spatio-temporal dynamics of populations; (d) mechanical modeling of the DNA molecule; (e) sincronization measurements using EEG signals; (f) dynamical modeling of small biochemical networks. Although the two basic areas of research where we shall concentrate our work are different, the methods of investigation employed in both of them, e.g. methods of statistical physics and differential equations, are closely related, justifying their inclusion in this project.
