For a convex polytope P with rational vertices, we count the number of integer points in integral dilates of P and its interior. The Ehrhart-Macdonald reciprocity law gives an intimate relation between these two counting functions. A…
In the present paper, we study the Poincare map associated to a periodic perturbation, both in space and time, of a linear Hamiltonian system. The dynamical system embodies the essential physics of stellar pulsations and provides a global…
This work is concerned with planar real analytic differential systems with an analytic inverse integrating factor defined in a neighborhood of a regular orbit. We show that the inverse integrating factor defines an ordinary differential…
A classic result of Brooks, Smith, Stone and Tutte associates to any finite planar network with distinguished source and sink vertices, a tiling of a rectangle by smaller subrectangles whose aspect ratios are given by the conductances of…
A new approach is established to computing the image of a rational map, whereby the use of approximation complexes is complemented with a detailed analysis of the torsion of the symmetric algebra in certain degrees. In the case the map is…
Brake orbits and homoclinics of autonomous dynamical systems correspond, via Maupertuis principle, to geodesics in Riemannian manifolds endowed with a metric which is singular on the boundary (Jacobi metric). Motivated by the classical, yet…
We introduce a class of rational functions $A:\,\mathbb C\mathbb P^1\rightarrow \mathbb C\mathbb P^1$ which can be considered as a natural extension of the class of Latt\`es maps and establish basic properties of functions from this class.
We present a method for computing all the symmetries of a rational ruled surface defined by a rational parametrization which works directly in parametric rational form, i.e. without computing or making use of the implicit equation of the…
Given two regular graphs with consistent rotation maps, we produce a constructive method for a consistent rotation map on their Cartesian product. This method will be given as a simple set of rules of addition and table look ups. We assume…
It is an amazing and a bit counter-intuitive discovery by Micha Perles from the sixties that there are ``non-rational polytopes'': combinatorial types of convex polytopes that cannot be realized with rational vertex coordinates. We describe…
We prove that the orbit closure of the determinant is not normal. A similar result is obtained for the orbit closure of the permanent multiplied by a power of a linear form.
Given linear spaces $E$ and $F$ over the real numbers or a field of characteristic zero, a simple argument is given to represent a symmetric multilinear map $u(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n)$ from $E^n$ to $F$ in terms of its restriction to the…
The correspondence between right triangles with rational sides, triplets of rational squares in arithmetic succession and integral solutions of certain quadratic forms is well known. We show how this correspondence can be extended to the…
For a closed connected oriented manifold $M$ of dimension $2n$, it was proved by M\o ller and Raussen that the components of the mapping space from $M$ to $S^{2n}$ have exactly two different rational homotopy types. However, since this…
We investigate rational maps with period one and two cluster cycles. Given the definition of a cluster, we show that, in the case where the degree is $d$ and the cluster is fixed, the Thurston class of a rational map is fixed by the…
A rational map with good reduction in the field $\mathbb{Q}\_p$ of $p$-adic numbers defines a $1$-Lipschitz dynamical system on the projective line $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{Q}\_p)$ over $\mathbb{Q}\_p$. The dynamical structure of such a system…
We study the geometric and dynamical structure induced by the return map associated with domains in the class \(\mathcal{O}_{C}\). This map, defined through a geometric round-trip between the convex core and the outer boundary, generates a…
This paper has a double goal, the first one is to make a slight survey of some theoretical results about the existence of positively invariant curves that allow to describe important properties of the set of bounded orbits and its boundary…
We consider the structure of rational points on elliptic curves in Weierstrass form. Let x(P)=A_P/B_P^2 denote the $x$-coordinate of the rational point P then we consider when B_P can be a prime power. Using Faltings' Theorem we show that…
We introduce pointwise map smoothness via the Dirichlet energy into the functional map pipeline, and propose an algorithm for optimizing it efficiently, which leads to high-quality results in challenging settings. Specifically, we first…
