We develop a classification of the fixed points and cycles of the Kaprekar transformation in even bases. The most numerous fixed points and cycles are those we denote symmetric and almost-symmetric; the structure of the cycles of these…

Quasiperiodic systems, related to irrational numbers, are space-filling structures without decay nor translation invariance. How to accurately recover these systems, especially for non-smooth cases, presents a big challenge in numerical…

We investigate cascades of isochronous pitchfork bifurcations of straight-line librating orbits in some two-dimensional Hamiltonian systems with mixed phase space. We show that the new bifurcated orbits, which are responsible for the onset…

We find a formula for the resolution of fixed points in extensions of permutation orbifold conformal field theories by its (half-)integer spin simple currents. We show that the formula gives a unitary and modular invariant S matrix.

Functional digraphs are unlabelled finite digraphs where each vertex has exactly one out-neighbor. They are isomorphic classes of finite discrete-time dynamical systems. Endowed with the direct sum and product, functional digraphs form a…

A Hamiltonian cycle of a graph is a closed path that visits each site once and only once. I study a field theoretic representation for the number of Hamiltonian cycles for arbitrary graphs. By integrating out quadratic fluctuations around…

Nonexpansive mappings play a central role in modern optimization and monotone operator theory because their fixed points can describe solutions to optimization or critical point problems. It is known that when the mappings are sufficiently…

We show in a rigorous way that a stable internal single-layer stationary solution is destabilized by the Hopf bifurcation as the time constant exceeds a certain critical value. Moreover, the exact critical value and the exact period of…
