We consider two basic problems of algebraic topology, the extension problem and the computation of higher homotopy groups, from the point of view of computability and computational complexity. The extension problem is the following: Given…

The topological entropy of piecewise affine maps is studied. It is shown that singularities may contribute to the entropy only if there is angular expansion and we bound the entropy via the expansion rates of the map. As a corollary we…

Let $g:\, [0, 1]\rightarrow [0, 1]$ be piecewise linear unimodal map. We say that $g$ has non-trivial piecewise linear commutator, if there is a continuous piecewise linear $\psi:\, [0, 1]\rightarrow [0, 1]$ such that $g\circ \psi =…

We say that $f:[0,1]\to [0,1]$ is a {\it piecewise continuous interval map} if there exists a partition $0=x_0<x_1<\cdots<x_{d}<x_{d+1}=1$ of $[0,1]$ such that $f\vert_{(x_{i-1},x_i)}$ is continuous and the lateral limits $w_0^+=\lim_{x\to…

Criteria for piecewise linear circle homeomorphisms to be conjugate to a rigid rotation, $x\to x+\omega~({\rm mod}~1)$, with rational rotation number $\omega$ are given. The consequences of the existence of such maps in families of maps is…

Let $S^m = \{x_0^2 + x_1^2 + \cdots + x_m^2 = 1\}$ and $P = \{x_0 = x_1 = 0\} \cap S^m$. Suppose that $f$ is a self--map of $S^m$ such that $f^{-1}(P) = P$ and $|\mathrm{deg}(f_{|P})| < |\mathrm{deg}(f)|$. Then, the number of fixed points…

We consider the effect on the mixing properties of a piecewise smooth interval map $f$ when its domain is divided into $N$ equal subintervals and $f$ is composed with a permutation of these. The case of the stretch-and-fold map $f(x)=mx…

The image of the branch set of a PL branched cover between PL $n$-manifolds is a simplicial $(n-2)$-complex. We demonstrate that the reverse implication also holds: an open and discrete map $f \colon \mathbb{S}^n \to \mathbb{S}^n$ with the…
