چکیده
The concept of complementarity, originally defined for non-commuting observables of quantum systems with states of non-vanishing dispersion , is extended to classical dynamical systems with a partitioned phase space. Interpreting partitions in terms of ensembles of epistemic states (symbols) with corresponding classical observables, it is shown that such observables are complementary to each other with respect to particular partitions unless those partitions are generating. This explains why symbolic descriptions based on an ad hoc partition of an underlying phase space description should generally be expected to be incompatible. Related approaches with different background and different objectives are discussed.

We raise the possibility of developing a theory of constructing quantum dynamical observables independent from quantization and deriving classical dynamical observables from pure quantum mechanical consideration. We do so by giving a detailed quantum mechanical derivation of the classical time of arrival at arbitrary arrival points for a particle in one dimension.

We study limit laws for return time processes defined on infinite conservative ergodic measure preserving dynamical systems. Especially for the critical cases with purely atomic limiting distribution we derive distorted processes posessing non-degenerated limits. For these processes also large deviation asymptotics are stated. The Farey map is used as an illustrating example giving new insides ...
متن کاملProjected dynamical systems in a complementarity formalism
Projected dynamical systems have been introduced by Dupuis and Nagurney as dynamic extensions of variational inequalities. In the systems and control literature, complementarity systems have been studied as input/output dynamical systems whose inputs and outputs are connected through complementarity conditions. We show here that, under mild conditions, projected dynamical systems can be written...
