The Fast Lyapunov Indicators are functions defined on the tangent fiber of the phase-space of a discrete (or continuous) dynamical system, by using a finite number of iterations of the dynamics. In the last decade, they have been largely…
In this work, we investigate the presence of sub-diffusive behavior in the Chirikov-Taylor Standard Map. We show that the stickiness phenomena, present in the mixed phase space of the map setup, can be characterized as a Continuous Time…
We investigate the structure of a Finsler manifold of nonnegative weighted Ricci curvature including a straight line, and extend the classical Cheeger-Gromoll-Lichnerowicz splitting theorem. Such a space admits a diffeomorphic,…
We continue our previous work studying critical exponent semilinear elliptic (and subelliptic) problems which generalize the classical Yamabe problem. In [3] the focus was on metric-measure spaces with an `almost smooth' structure, with…
Extending Stallings' foldings of trees, we show in this article that every parallel-preserving map between median graphs factors as an isometric embedding through a sequence of elementary transformations which we call foldings and…
Since the breakthrough in rough paths theory for stochastic ordinary differential equations (SDEs), there has been a strong interest in investigating the rough differential equation (RDE) approach and its numerous applications. Rough path…
In the first part of this dissertation, we give a new definition of a Laplace operator for Finsler metric as an average, with regard to an angle measure, of the second directional derivatives. This operator is elliptic, symmetric with…
We consider skew-product maps over circle rotations $x\mapsto x+\alpha$ (mod 1) with factors that take values in SL(2,R) In numerical experiments with $\alpha$ the inverse golden mean, Fibonacci iterates of almost Mathieu maps with rotation…
In the finite dimensional case, mean-type mappings, their invariant means, relations between the uniqueness of invariant means and convergence of orbits of the mapping, are considered. In particular it is shown, that the uniqueness of an…
In this article, we investigate the focal locus of closed (not necessarily compact) submanifolds in a forward complete Finsler manifold. The main goal is to show that the associated normal exponential map is \emph{regular} in the sense of…
Lagrangian techniques, such as the finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) and hyperbolic Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS), have become popular tools for analyzing unsteady fluid flows. These techniques identify regions where particles…
We analyze the performance of a class of manifold-learning algorithms that find their output by minimizing a quadratic form under some normalization constraints. This class consists of Locally Linear Embedding (LLE), Laplacian Eigenmap,…
We consider collections of $N$ chordal random curves obtained from a critical lattice model on a planar graph, in the limit when a fine-mesh graph approximates a simply-connected domain. We define and study candidates for such limits in…
We introduce a class of orbits which may have $0$ Lyapunov exponents, but still demonstrate some sensitivity to initial conditions. We construct a countable Markov partition with a finite-to-one almost everywhere induced coding, and which…
We study proximal random dynamical systems of homeomorphisms of the circle without a common fixed point. We prove the existence of two random points that govern the behavior of the forward and backward orbits of the system. Assuming the…
We define a Heegaard-Scharlemann-Thompson (HST) splitting of a 3-manifold M to be a sequence of pairwise-disjoint, embedded surfaces, {F_i}, such that for each odd value of i, F_i is a Heegaard splitting of the submanifold of M cobounded by…
We consider the whole-plane SLE conformal map f from the unit disk to the slit plane, and show that its mixed moments, involving a power p of the derivative modulus |f'| and a power q of the map |f| itself, have closed forms along some…
Let $M$ and $N$ be smooth (real or complex) manifolds, and let $M$ be equipped with some Riemannian metric. A continuous map $f\colon M\longrightarrow N$ admits a local $k$-multiplicity if, for every real number $\omega >0$, there exist $k$…
The aim of the paper is three-fold. We begin by proving a formula, both global and local versions, relating the number of periodic orbits of an iterated map and the Lefschetz numbers, or indices in the local case, of its iterations. This…
The purpose of this paper is to present an example of an Ordinary Differential Equation $x'=F(x)$ in the infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $\ell^2$ with $F$ being of class $\mathcal{C}^1$ in the Fr\'{e}chet sense, such that the origin is…
