Slow and Fast Dynamics in Silicate Gasses.

Slow-fast Dynamics in Wonderland

Fast and slow dynamics of the cytoskeleton.

Material moduli of the cytoskeleton (CSK) influence a wide range of cell functions. There is substantial evidence from reconstituted F-actin gels that a regime exists in which the moduli scale with frequency with a universal exponent of 3/4. Such behaviour is entropic in origin and is attributable to fluctuations in semiflexible polymers driven by thermal forces, but it is not obvious a priori ...

Slow-fast dynamics in Josephson junctions

We report on a nontrivial type of slow-fast dynamics in a Josephson junction model externally shunted by a resistor and an inductor. For large values of the shunt inductance the slow manifold is highly folded, and different types of dynamical behavior in the fast variable are possible in dependence on the other parameters of the junction. We discuss how particular features of the dynamics are m...

How fast elements can affect slow dynamics

A chain of coupled chaotic elements with different time scales is studied. In contrast with the adiabatic approximation, we find that correlations between elements are transferred from faster to slower elements when the differences in the time scales of the elements lie within a certain range. For such correlations to occur, three features are essential: strong correlations among the elements, ...
