We consider the symmetry-breaking steady state bifurcation of a spatially-uniform equilibrium solution of E(2)-equivariant PDEs. We restrict the space of solutions to those that are doubly-periodic with respect to a square or hexagonal…

Dynamical systems, whether continuous or discrete, are used by physicists in order to study non-linear phenomena. In the case of discrete dynamical systems, one of the most used is the quadratic map depending on a parameter. However, some…

We introduce the concept of 2-cyclicity for families of one-dimensional maps with a non-hyperbolic fixed point by analogy to the cyclicity for families of planar vector fields with a weak focus. This new concept is useful in order to study…

This paper deals with the problem of limit cycle bifurcations for piecewise smooth integrable differential systems with four zones. When the unperturbed system has a family of periodic orbits, the first order Melnikov function is derived…

For the family of quadratic rational functions having a $2$-cycle of bounded type Siegel disks, we prove that each of the boundaries of these Siegel disks contains at most one critical point. In the parameter plane, we prove that the locus…

Dynamical systems with translational or rotational symmetry arise frequently in studies of spatially extended physical systems, such as Navier-Stokes flows on periodic domains. In these cases, it is natural to express the state of the fluid…

This paper is an attempt to classify finite-time singularities of PDEs. Most of the problems considered describe free-surface flows, which are easily observed experimentally. We consider problems where the singularity occurs at a point, and…

In this paper we prove the strong convergence of the explicit iterative process to a common fixed point of the finite family of nonexpansive mappings defined on Hilbert space, which solves the the variational inequality on the fixed points…

We report exact analytical expressions locating the $0\to1$, $1\to2$ and $2\to4$ bifurcation curves for a prototypical system of two linearly coupled quadratic maps. Of interest is the precise location of the parameter sets where…

We study a class of maps having the Collatz function (famously related to the Collatz Conjecture) as an example, under the topological and ergodic perspectives, including an approach with thermodynamic formalism. By introducing a key…

We consider a self-convolutive recurrence whose solution is the sequence of coefficients in the asymptotic expansion of the logarithmic derivative of the confluent hypergeometic function $U(a,b,z)$. By application of the Hilbert transform…

We study time-periodic solutions for the cubic wave equation on an interval with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We begin by following the perturbative construction of Vernov and Khrustalev and provide a rigorous derivation of the…

Bounding the number of preperiodic points of quadratic polynomials with rational coefficients is one case of the Uniform Boundedness Conjecture in arithmetic dynamics. Here, we provide a general framework that may reduce finding periodic…

Recurrence is a fundamental property of dynamical systems, which can be exploited to characterise the system's behaviour in phase space. A powerful tool for their visualisation and analysis called recurrence plot was introduced in the late…

We provide an explicit bound on the number of periodic points of a rational function defined over a number field, where the bound depends only on the number of primes of bad reduction and the degree of the function, and is linear in the…

We deduce that the fundamental groups of the orbit configuration spaces of an effective and properly discontinuous action of a discrete group on a connected aspherical 2-manifold, with isolated fixed points, fit into a four-term exact…

Employing the Fast Fourier Transform we propose a ready-to-use solution to circulant real linear systems of equations, particularly useful when a broader theoretical analysis is involved. We also show that strict diagonal dominance of the…

In this work we study local oscillations in delay differential equations with a frequency domain methodology. The main result is a bifurcation equation from which the existence and expressions of local periodic solutions can be determined.…

The regularisation of the $\lambda\phi^4_4$-model on noncommutative Moyal space gives rise to a solvable QFT model in which all correlation functions are expressed in terms of the solution of a fixed point problem. We prove that the…

Vertical thermal convection system exhibits weak turbulence and spatio-temporally chaotic behaviour. In this system, we report seven equilibria and 26 periodic orbits, all new and linearly unstable. These orbits, together with four…
