Constructing autonomous systems capable of high-level behaviors often involves reducing these behaviors to a collection of low-level tasks. This requires developing a method for switching among possible tasks, for example using a hybrid automaton. Recent work has developed an alternative approach using continuous dynamical systems that have an internal drive state to select the desired task. In one particular result, authors considered a scenario where individual behaviors were encoded in control vector fields with unique, globally stable equilibria. A further level of complexity arises when one seeks to create a system that switches between tasks encoded as globally attracting sets with recurrent behaviors, rather than as point attractors. This work outlines the problem using the recently-developed drive-based dynamical framework. First we generalize the formulation of tasks as one part attracting set and one part recurrent behavior on said attracting set. Then as a proof-of-concept we demonstrate the existence of an attracting set consisting of orbits that repeatedly flow between two canonical limit cycles (e.g., Hopf oscillators).

Dense, disordered packings of particles are useful models of low-temperature amorphous phases of matter, biological systems, granular media, and colloidal systems. The study of dense packings of nonspherical particles enables one to ascertain how rotational degrees of freedom affect packing behavior. Here, we study superballs, a large family of deformations of the sphere, defined in three dimensions by |x1|2p + |x2|2p + |x3|2p ≤ 1, where p ∈ (0, ∞) is a deformation parameter indicating to what extent the shape deviates from a sphere. As p increases from the sphere point (p = 1), the superball tends to a cuboidal shape and approaches a cube in the p → ∞ limit. As p → 0.5, it approaches an octahedron, becomes a concave body with octahedral symmetry for p ¯) vary nonanalytically as p diverges from unity. Here, we use an event-driven molecular dynamics algorithm to produce MRJ superball packings with 0.85 ≤ p ≤ 1.50. To supplement the previous work on such packings, we characterize their large-scale structure by examining the behaviors of their structure factors S(Q) and spectral densities χV (Q), as the wave number Q tends to zero, and find that these packings are effectively hyperuniform for all values of p examined. We show that the mean width w¯ is a useful length scale to make distances dimensionless in order to compare systematically superballs of different shape. Moreover, we compute the complementary cumulative pore-size distribution F (δ) and find that the pore sizes tend to decrease as |1 − p| increases. From F (δ), we estimate how the fluid permeability, mean survival time, and principal diffusion relaxation time vary as a function of p. Additionally, we compute the diffusion "spreadability" S(t) [Torquato, Phys. Rev. E, 104, 054102, (2021)] of these packings and find that the long-time power-law scaling indicates these packings are hyperuniform with a small-Q power law scaling of the spectral density χV (Q) ∼ Qα with an exponent α that ranges from 0.64 at th
