• Chandler wobble: Stochastic and deterministic dynamics 

      Jenkins Villalobos, Alejandro (2016-09-18)
      We propose a model of the Earth’s torqueless precession, the “Chandler wobble,” as a self-oscillation driven by positive feedback between the wobble and the centrifugal deformation of the portion of the Earth’s mass contained ...
    • Irreversibility of mechanical and hydrodynamic instabilities 

      Díaz Marín, Carlos D.; Jenkins Villalobos, Alejandro (2017-12-01)
      The literature on dynamical systems has, for the most part, considered self-oscillators (i.e., systems capable of generating and maintaining a periodic motion at the expense of an external energy source with no corresponding ...
