We derive explicit differential equations for dynamical systems defined on generic surfaces applying elliptic and automorphic function theory to make uniform the surfaces in the upper half of the complex plane with the hyperbolic metric. By modifying the definition of the standard theta series we will determine general meromorphic systems on a fundamental domain in the upper half plane the solution trajectories of which "roll up" onto an appropriate surface of any given genus.

In this paper, we show that the mathematical classification of one-dimensional cellular automata given by Dubois–Violette and Rouet [1987] does not truly represent the different behaviors possible. In fact we show that many rules of their type O have totally different behavior. A better classification is based on Smale's basic sets and nonwandering points.

We present exact closed-form expressions and complete asymptotic expansions for the electrostatic force between two charged conducting spheres of arbitrary sizes. Using asymptotic expansions of the force, we confirm that even like-charged spheres attract each other at sufficiently small separation unless their voltages/charges are the same as they would be at contact. We show that for sufficiently large size asymmetries, the repulsion between two spheres increases when they separate from contact if their voltages or their charges are held constant. Additionally, we show that in the constant voltage case, this like-voltage repulsion can be further increased and maximized through an optimal lowering of the voltage on the larger sphere at an optimal sphere separation.

In this paper, we will show that a periodic nonlinear, time-varying dissipative system that is defined on a genus-p surface contains one or more invariant sets which act as attractors. Moreover, we shall generalize a result in [Martins, 2004] and give conditions under which these invariant sets are not homeomorphic to a circle individually, which implies the existence of chaotic behavior. This is achieved by studying the appearance of inversely unstable solutions within each invariant set.
