We explore different families of quasi-periodically Forced Logistic Maps for the existence of universality and self-similarity properties. In the bifurcation diagram of the Logistic Map it is well known that there exist parameter values…

In this article, we study algebraic dynamical pairs $(f,a)$ parametrized by an irreducible quasi-projective curve $\Lambda$ having an absolutely continuous bifurcation measure. We prove that, if $f$ is non-isotrivial and $(f,a)$ is…

The present note studies \emph{surjective rational endomorphisms} $f: \mathbb{P}^2 \dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^2$ with \emph{cubic} terms and the indeterminacy locus $I_f \ne \emptyset$. We develop an experimental approach, based on some…

We study bifurcations of symmetric elliptic fixed points in the case of \emph{p}:\emph{q} resonances with odd $q\geq 3$. We consider the case where the initial area-preserving map $\bar z =\lambda z + Q(z,z^*)$ possesses the central…

We give quantitative bounds for the number of quasi-integral points in orbits of semigroups of rational maps under some conditions, generalizing previous work of L. C. Hsia and J. Silverman (2011) for orbits generated by the iterations of…

In this paper we consider maps on the plane which are similar to quadratic maps in that they are degree 2 branched covers of the plane. In fact, consider for $\alpha$ fixed, maps $f_c$ which have the following form (in polar coordinates):…

Under some mild assumptions, an orientation-preserving branched covering map of marked $2$-spheres induces a pullback map between the corresponding Teichm\"uller spaces. By analyzing the associated pushforward operator acting on integrable…

In this article, we prove the equivalence of dynamical stability, preperiodicity, and canonical height 0, for algebraic families of rational maps $f_t: \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C}) \to \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})$, parameterized by $t$ in a…

Permutation rational functions over finite fields have attracted high interest in recent years. However, only a few of them have been exhibited. This article studies a class of permutation rational functions constructed using trace maps on…

We investigate perturbed monomial dynamical system over $\mathbb{F}_p$ given by iterations of $x\mapsto x^n+c\bmod{p}$, where $c\in \mathbb{F}_p$. Instead of study the systems one at a time we study all of them at the same time. The complex…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Given a polynomial f(x,y) in K[x,y] with one place at infinity, we prove that either f is equivalent to a coordinate, or the family (f+c) has at most two rational elements. When…

Singularities of even smooth functions are studied. A classification of singular points which appear in typical parametric families of even functions with at most five parameters is given. Bifurcations of singular points near a caustic…

Thurston parameterized quadratic invariant laminations with a non-invariant lamination, the quotient of which yields a combinatorial model for the Mandelbrot set. As a step toward generalizing this construction to cubic polynomials, we…

It is a classical result that there are $12$ (irreducible) rational cubic curves through $8$ generic points in $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{C}}^2$, but little is known about the non-generic cases. The space of $8$-point configurations is…

Consider a cohomologically hyperbolic birational self-map defined over the algebraic numbers, for example, a birational self-map in dimension two with the first dynamical degree greater than one, or in dimension three with the first and the…

We prove several results on backward orbits of rational functions over number fields. First, we show that if $K$ is a number field, $\phi\in K(x)$ and $\alpha\in K$ then the extension of $K$ generated by the abelian points in the backward…

We study dynamics and bifurcations of two-dimensional reversible maps having non-transversal heteroclinic cycles containing symmetric saddle periodic points. We consider one-parameter families of reversible maps unfolding generally the…

Matrix-valued covariance extension and multivariate spectral estimation are formulated as generalized moment problems in the "THREE" approach and its extensions. Under this context, we discuss Theorem 6 in \cite{Georgiou-06} concerning the…

We study dynamics and bifurcations of 2-dimensional reversible maps having a symmetric saddle fixed point with an asymmetric pair of nontransversal homoclinic orbits (a symmetric nontransversal homoclinic figure-8). We consider…

We consider all genus 2 curves over Q given by an equation y^2 = f(x) with f a squarefree polynomial of degree 5 or 6, with integral coefficients of absolute value at most 3. For each of these roughly 200000 isomorphism classes of curves,…
