At the time of writing this thesis, the complete genomes of more than 180 organisms have been sequenced and more than 80000 biological macromolecular structures are available in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). While the number of sequenced genomes and solved three-dimensional structures are rapidly increasing, the functional annotation of protein sequences and structures is a much slower process, mostly because the experimental de-termination of protein function is expensive and time-consuming.

Abstract:
Dynamics with choice is a generalization of discrete-time dynamics where instead of the same evolution operator at every time step there is a choice of operators to transform the current state of the system. Many real life processes studied in chemical physics, engineering, biology and medicine, from autocatalytic reaction systems to switched systems to cellular biochemical processes to malaria transmission in urban environments, exhibit the properties described by dynamics with choice. We study the long-term behavior in dynamics with choice. We prove very general results on the existence and

The control stability of the Segway can be severely affected when minor disturbances or unanticipated conditions arise.
