Central configurations play an important role in the dynamics of the $n$-body problem: they occur as relative equilibria and as asymptotic configurations in colliding trajectories. We illustrate how they can be found as projective fixed…
We consider some planar triangular maps. These maps preserve certain fibration of the plane. We assume that there exists an invariant attracting fiber and we study the limit dynamics of those points in the basin of attraction of this…
We study dynamics and bifurcations of 2-dimensional reversible maps having a symmetric saddle fixed point with an asymmetric pair of nontransversal homoclinic orbits (a symmetric nontransversal homoclinic figure-8). We consider…
We prove that if a certain entry in the map of the Hadamard-Perron theorem is $T$-periodic in one of the variables, then the stable manifold guaranteed by the Hadamard-Perron theorem is a graph of a $T$-periodic function. As an application,…
The study of the dynamics of a surface homeomorphism in the neighbourhood of an isolated fixed point leads us to the following results. If the fixed point index is greater than 1, a family of attractive and repulsive petals is constructed,…
In diverse physical systems stable oscillatory solutions devolve into more complicated dynamical behaviour through border-collision bifurcations. Mathematically these occur when a stable fixed point of a piecewise-smooth map collides with a…
Given a piecewise $C^{1+\beta}$ map of the interval, possibly with critical points and discontinuities, we construct a symbolic model for invariant probability measures with nonuniform expansion that do not approach the critical points and…
This paper presents sufficient graph-theoretic conditions for injectivity of collections of differentiable functions on rectangular subsets of R^n. The results have implications for the possibility of multiple fixed points of maps and…
The critical loci of a map $f:X\to Y$ between smooth schemes over a field $k$ are the locally closed subschemes $\Sigma^i(f)\subseteq X$ where the differential of $f$ has constant rank. We prove that if $f : X\to \mathbb A^r$ is the general…
This article shows a very elementary and straightforward proof of the Implicit Function Theorem for differentiable maps $F(x,y)$ defined on a finite-dimensional Euclidean space. There are no hypothesis on the continuity of the partial…
We give an axiomatic characterization of the fixed point index of an $n$-valued map. For $n$-valued maps on a polyhedron, the fixed point index is shown to be unique with respect to axioms of homotopy invariance, additivity, and a splitting…
In this paper we consider sufficient conditions for the existence of uniform compact global attractor for non-autonomous dynamical systems in special classes of infinite-dimensional phase spaces. The obtained generalizations allow us to…
Let f be a transcendental map, and let U be an attracting or parabolic basin, or a doubly parabolic Baker domain. Assume U is simply connected. Then, we prove that periodic points are dense in the boundary of U, under certain hypothesis on…
A rational map $f:\widehat{\mathbb{C}}\to\widehat{\mathbb{C}}$ on the Riemann sphere $\widehat{\mathbb{C}}$ is called critically fixed if each critical point of $f$ is fixed under $f$. In this article, we study the properties of a…
The paper deals with topical issues of modern mathematical theory of dynamical chaos and its applications. At present, it is customary to assume that dynamical chaos in finitedimensional smooth systems can exist in three different forms.…
Continuing work begun in a previous paper, we study the real dynamics of a family of plane birational maps. This time we consider a parameter range where the real and complex dynamics are different. We show in particular that for one…
By a result of Blokh from 1984, every transitive map of a tree has the relative specification property, and so it has finite decomposition ideal, positive entropy and dense periodic points. In this paper we construct a transitive dendrite…
This article is meant as a mathematical appendix or comment on [BT]. We first consider the notion of transcritical bifurcations of fixed points of general area-preserving maps, and then adress some questions related to [BT] on bifurcation…
Horndeski models with a de Sitter critical point for any kind of material content may provide a mechanism to alleviate the cosmological constant problem. Moreover, they could allow us to understand the current accelerated expansion of the…
We present microscopic models of spin ladders which exhibit continuous critical surfaces whose properties and existence, unusually, cannot be inferred from those of the flanking phases. These models exhibit either `multiversality' -- the…
