Let $f$ be a piecewise continuous and monotonic map on the interval with at most finitely many discontinuities and turning points. In this paper we study properties about this class of maps and show its main difference from the continuous…

We give direct proofs and constructions of the trace and extension theorems for Sobolev mappings in $W^{1, 1} (M, N)$, where $M$ is Riemannian manifold with compact boundary $\partial M$ and $N$ is a complete Riemannian manifold. The…

We study periodic, piecewise linear maps on the plane starting with the Mort Brown's map. We show that if the number of pieces is two, there is only a short list of possible periods (this fact can be seen as the crystallographic restriction…

We show that the mapping class group of an orientable finite type surface has uniformly exponential growth, as well as various closely related groups. This provides further evidence that mapping class groups may be linear.

We discuss various questions of the following kind: for a continuous map $X \to Y$ from a compact metric space to a simplicial complex, can one guarantee the existence of a fiber large in the sense of Urysohn width? The $d$-width measures…

Let X and Y be finite dimensional normed spaces, F(X,Y) a collection of all mappings from X into Y. A mapping $P\in F(X,Y)$ is said to be piecewise affine if there exists a finite family of convex polyhedral subsets covering X and such that…

We prove that any closed map between metrizable spaces can be extended to a closed map between completely metrizable spaces with the same extensional dimension.

We establish the sharp rate of continuity of extensions of $\mathbb{R}^m$-valued $1$-Lipschitz maps from a subset $A$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ to a $1$-Lipschitz maps on $\mathbb{R}^n$. We consider several cases when there exists a $1$-Lipschitz…

Piecewise fractional linear maps wzth three or more branches have been studied in several papers. For many Moebius maps the shape of the density of their invariant measurs can be written down exactly. However, if just two branches are…

In this paper, we introduce a generalized piecewise translation map on the Euclidean space. We provide a special case when this map is always of finite type. For a finite type map in this case, we form conjectures on the semi-continuity of…

This paper generalizes the results of [13] and then provides an interesting example. We construct a family of $W$-like maps $\{W_a\}$ with a turning fixed point having slope $s_1$ on one side and $-s_2$ on the other. Each $W_a$ has an…

We provide a simplified proof of the existence, under some assumptions, of a spectral gap for the Perron-Frobenius operator of piecewise uniformly expanding maps on Riemannian manifolds when acting on some Sobolev spaces. Its consequences…

We consider Thurston maps, i.e., branched covering maps $f\colon S^2\to S^2$ that are postcritically finite. In addition, we assume that $f$ is expanding in a suitable sense. It is shown that each sufficiently high iterate $F=f^n$ of $f$ is…

We prove that sparse string graphs in a fixed surface have linear expansion. We extend this result to the more general setting of sparse region intersection graphs over any proper minor-closed class. The proofs are combinatorial and…

We consider some classes of piecewise expanding maps in finite dimensional spaces having invariant probability measures which are absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure. We derive an entropy formula for such measures and,…

A piecewise linear function can be described in different forms: as an arbitrarily nested expression of $\min$- and $\max$-functions, as a difference of two convex piecewise linear functions, or as a linear combination of maxima of…

We present sufficient conditions for the (strong) statistical stability of some classes of multidimensional piecewise expanding maps. As a consequence we get that a certain natural two-dimensional extension of the classical one-dimensional…

We prove that, for every decreasing sequence {a \sb k} of natural numbers, there exists a map f: X --> X with cat (f\sp k)=a\sb k.

The dynamical structure of the rational map $ax+1/x$ on the projective line $\P$ over the field $\mathbb{Q}\_p$ of $p$-adic numbers is described for $p\geq 3$.

Let V, W be real algebraic varieties (that is, up to isomorphism, real algebraic sets), and let X be a subset of V. A map f from X into W is said to be regular if it can be extended to a regular map defined on some Zariski locally closed…
