# gst: underdamped and overdamped scenarios of a one-dimensional inertial run-and-tumble particle


AA << study the nonequilibrium stationary state of a one-dimensional inertial run-and-tumble particle  trapped in a harmonic potential. (AA) find that the presence of inertia leads to two distinct dynamical scenarios, namely, overdamped and underdamped, characterized by the relative strength of the viscous and the trap timescales. >>
<< in the underdamped regime, both the position and velocity undergo transitions from a novel multipeaked structure in the strongly active limit to a single-peaked Gaussian-like distribution in the passive limit. On the other hand, in the overdamped scenario, the position distribution shows a transition from a U shape to a dome shape, as activity is decreased. Interestingly, the velocity distribution in the overdamped scenario shows two transitions—from a single-peaked shape with an algebraic divergence at the origin in the strongly active regime to a double-peaked one in the moderately active regime to a dome-shaped one in the passive regime. >>️

# gst: isles of regularity (depending on the initial setup) in a sea of chaos amid the gravitational three-body problem.


AA << study probes the presence of regular (i.e. non-chaotic) trajectories within the 3BP (three-body problem) and assesses their impact on statistical escape theories. >>

AA << analysis reveals that regular trajectories occupy a significant fraction of the phase space, ranging from 28% to 84% depending on the initial setup, and their outcomes defy the predictions of statistical escape theories. The coexistence of regular and chaotic regions at all scales is characterized by a multi-fractal behaviour. >>

# gst: apropos of fluctuations, an unconventional approach to (fuzzy) morphogenesis

AA << propose an unconventional mechanism where stochastic fluctuations drive the emergence of morphological patterns. >>️

In this approach << the inherent fluctuations determine the nature of the dynamics and are not incidental noise in the background of the otherwise deterministic dynamics. Instead, they play an important role as a driving force that defines the attributes of the pattern formation dynamics and the nature of the transition itself.  >>️

# gst: pensive billiards


AA << define a new class of plane billiards - the `pensive billiard' - in which the billiard ball travels along the boundary for some distance depending on the incidence angle before reflecting, while preserving the billiard rule of equality of the angles of incidence and reflection. This generalizes so called `puck billiards' (..), as well as a `vortex billiard', i.e. the motion of a point vortex dipole in 2D hydrodynamics on domains with boundary. (AA) prove the variational origin and invariance of a symplectic structure for pensive billiards, as well as study their properties including conditions for a twist map, the existence of periodic orbits, etc. (AA) also demonstrate the appearance of both the golden and silver ratios in the corresponding hydrodynamical vortex setting. Finally, (AA) introduce and describe basic properties of pensive outer billiards. >>

# gst: apropos of breaking mechanisms, crack of a floating particle raft caused by waves.

<< When particles of a few tens of microns are spread on the surface of water, they aggregate under the action of capillary forces and form a thin floating membrane, a particle raft. >>

<< For a sufficiently strong wave amplitude, the raft breaks up progressively by developing cracks and producing fragments whose sizes decrease on a timescale long compared to the period of the wave. (AA)  characterize the breaking mechanisms.  >>️️

<< The visual appearance of the fragments distributed in size and surrounded by open water bears a notable resemblance to the floes produced by the fracturing of sea ice by waves in the polar oceans. Fragmentation concepts and morphological tools built for sea ice floes can be applied to (AA) macroscopic analog, on which the entire dynamic evolution is accessible. However, the mechanics of the two systems differ, as (AA) particle raft breaks due to the viscous stresses, whereas the sea ice fractures due to its bending by the waves. >>️
