We introduce the concepts of perpetual points and periodic perpetual loci in discrete--time systems (maps). The occurrence and analysis of these points/loci are shown and basic examples are considered. We discuss the potential usage and…

This paper concerns piecewise-smooth maps on $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are continuous but not differentiable on switching manifolds (where the functional form of the map changes). The stability of fixed points on switching manifolds is…

We formulate and prove a Jakobson-Benedicks-Carleson type theorem on the occurence of nonuniform hyperbolicity (stochastic dynamics) in families of one-dimensional maps, based on "computable starting conditions" and providing "explicit,…

We study the ergodic and statistical properties of a class of maps of the circle and of the interval of Lorenz type which present indifferent fixed points and points with unbounded derivative. These maps have been previously investigated in…

We construct a family of globally defined dynamical systems for a nonlinear programming problem, such that: (a) the equilibrium points are the unknown (and sought) critical points of the problem, (b) for every initial condition, the…

An argument is given to associate integrable nonintegrable transition of discrete maps with the transition of Lawvere's fixed point theorem to its own contrapositive. We show that the classical description of nonlinear maps is neither…

Let $f:M^m\to N^n$ be a smooth map between two differential manifolds with $N$ connected, $f(M)$ closed and $f(M)\neq N$. In this short note, we show that either all the points of $M$ are critical points of $f$ or the dimension the…

For any given natural $d\ge 1$ we provide examples of rational self-maps of complex projective plane $\pp^2$ of degree $d$ without (holomorphic) fixed points. This makes a contrast with the situation in one dimension. We also prove that the…

Let X and Y be compact, simply connected and locally connected subsets of R^2, and let f : X -> Y be a homeomorphism isotopic to the identity on X. Generalizing Brouwer's plane translation theorem for self-maps of the plane, we prove that f…

We prove the dynamical Manin-Mumford conjecture for regular polynomial maps of A^2 and irreducible curves avoiding super-attracting orbits at infinity, over any field of characteristic 0.

In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of a class of mappings defined on complete, (sequentially compact) cone metric spaces, without continuity conditions and depending on another function.

Completely positive trace preserving maps are widely used in quantum information theory. These are mostly studied using the master equation perspective. A central part in this theory is to study whether a given system of dynamical maps…

Consider a continuous surjective self map of the open annulus with degree d > 1. It is proved that the number of Nielsen classes of periodic points is maximum possible whenever f has a completely invariant essential continuum. The same…

Conserved dynamical systems are generally considered to be critical. We study a class of critical routing models, equivalent to random maps, which can be solved rigorously in the thermodynamic limit. The information flow is conserved for…

In structural dynamics, energy dissipative mechanisms with non-viscous damping are characterized by their dependence on the time-history of the response velocity, mathematically represented by convolution integrals involving hereditary…

Relative equilibria of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems with symmetry are critical points of appropriate scalar functions parametrized by the Lie algebra (or its dual) of the symmetry group. Setting aside the structures - symplectic,…

We study the fixed point theory of n-valued maps of a space X using the fixed point theory of maps between X and its configuration spaces. We give some general results to decide whether an n-valued map can be deformed to a fixed point free…

We establish a fixed-point theorem for the face maps that consist in deleting the $i$th entry of an ordered set. Furthermore, we show that there exists random finite sets of integers that are almost invariant under such deletions.…

Long-time behavior is one of the most fundamental properties in dynamical systems. The limit behaviors of flows on surfaces are captured by the Poincar\'e-Bendixson theorem using the $\omega$-limit sets. This paper demonstrates that the…

In a seminal paper, Viana built examples of maps presenting two positive Lyapunov exponents exploring skew-products of a (uniformly) expanding map and a quadratic map (order 2 critical point) perturbed by some level of noise. Here we extend…
