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…
A precise meaning is given to the notion of continuous iteration of a mapping. Usual discrete iterations are extended into a dynamical flow which is a homotopy of them all. The continuous iterate reveals that a dynamical map is formend by…
By a fixed continuous map from a $3$-space to itself, a knot in the $3$-space may be mapped to another knot in the $3$-space. We analyze possible knot types of them. Then we map a knot repeatedly by a fixed continuous map and analyze…
We consider the maximal number of arbitrary points in a special fibre that can be simultaneously approached by points in one sequence of general fibres. Several results about this topological invariant and their applications describe the…
In [S. Basu, A. Gabrielov, N. Vorobjov, Semi-monotone sets. arXiv:1004.5047v2 (2011)] we defined semi-monotone sets, as open bounded sets, definable in an o-minimal structure over the reals, and having connected intersections with all…
We discuss topological versions of the closed graph theorem, where continuity is inferred from near continuity in tandem with suitable conditions on source or target spaces. We seek internal characterizations of spaces satisfying a closed…
In this note, we offer a palatable introduction to the field of arithmetic dynamics. That is, we study the patterns that arise when iterating a polynomial map. This note is accessible to those who have taken an introductory proof based…
A matrix approach to continuous iteration is proposed for general formal series. It leads, in particular, to an order{to{order iteration of the exponential function, and consequently to an algorithmic approach to tetration. Lower{order…
We present necessary conditions for monotonicity, in one form or another, of fixed point iterations of mappings that violate the usual nonexpansive property. We show that most reasonable notions of linear-type monotonicity of fixed point…
The class of closed graphs by a linear ordering on their sets of vertices is investigated. A recent characterization of such a class of graphs is analyzed by using tools from the proper interval graph theory.
The contour of a family of filters along a filter is a set-theoretic lower limit. Topologicity and regularity of convergences can be characterized with the aid of the contour operation. Contour inversion is studied, in particular, for…
Mappings of a finite set into itself with restriction on the cycle lengths are considered (the so-called A-mappings). Asymptotics is given for the number of these mappings with a power-law reduction of the remainder.
We study continuous countably piecewise monotone interval maps, and formulate conditions under which these are conjugate to maps of constant slope, particularly when this slope is given by the topological entropy of the map. We confine our…
Open discrete mappings with a modulus condition in metric spaces are considered. Some results related to local behavior of mappings as well as theorems about continuous extension to a boundary are proved.
For a transitive countably piecewise monotone Markov interval map we consider the question whether there exists a conjugate map of constant slope. The answer varies depending on whether the map is continuous or only piecewise continuous,…
We show that if the maximum modulus of a quasiregular mapping f grows sufficiently rapidly then there exists a non-empty escaping set I(f) consisting of points whose forward orbits under iteration tend to infinity. This set I(f) has an…
An iterative map of the unit disc in the complex plane (Appendix) is used to explore certain aspects of selfdual, four dimensional gauge fields (quasi)periodic in the Euclidean time. These fields are characterized by two topological numbers…
The dynamics of one dimensional iterative maps in the regime of fully developed chaos is studied in detail. Motivated by the observation of dynamical structures around the unstable fixed point we introduce the geometrical concept of a…
We show that for any quasimeromorphic mapping with an essential singularity at infinity, there exist points whose iterates tend to infinity arbitrarily slowly. This extends a result by Nicks for quasiregular mappings, and Rippon and…
Infinite graphs are finitary in the sense that their points are connected via finite paths. So what would an infinitary generalization of finite graphs look like? Usually this question is answered with the aid of topology, e.g. in the case…
