The notion of tree entropy was introduced by the author as a normalized limit of the number of spanning trees in finite graphs, but is defined on random infinite rooted graphs. We give some new expressions for tree entropy; one uses…
Very little is currently known about the dynamics of non-polynomial entire maps in several complex variables. The family of transcendental H\'enon maps offers the potential of combining ideas from transcendental dynamics in one variable,…
We consider partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds where the unstable and stable foliations stably carry some unique non-trivial homologies. We prove the following two results: if the center foliation is one dimensional,…
We present a framework to decompose real multivariate polynomials while preserving invariance and positivity. This framework has been recently introduced for tensor decompositions, in particular for quantum many-body systems. Here we…
The analysis of contours of scalar fields plays an important role in visualization. For example the contour tree and contour statistics can be used as a means for interaction and filtering or as signatures. In the context of tensor field…
Recent progress in string theory has led to a reformulation of quantum-group polynomial invariants for knots and links into new polynomial invariants whose coefficients can be understood in topological terms. We describe in detail how to…
The relevance of the algebraic entropy in the study of birational discrete time dynamical systems highlights the need to relate it to other characteristics of these systems. In this letter, two complementary proofs are given that the…
We introduce a notion of invariance entropy for uncertain control systems, which is, roughly speaking, the exponential growth rate of "branches" of "trees" that are formed by controls and are necessary to achieve invariance of controlled…
Entropy and differential entropy are important quantities in information theory. A tractable extension to singular random variables-which are neither discrete nor continuous-has not been available so far. Here, we present such an extension…
Using only continuous partitions of unity, we provide equivalent definitions for the metric, topological and topological tail entropies and pressures of a continuous self-map of a compact set, as well as their conditional versions. A tail…
Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a $C^2$ random partially hyperbolic dynamical system. For the unstable foliation, the corresponding unstable metric entropy, unstable topological entropy and unstable pressure via the dynamics of $\mathcal{F}$ on the…
Thurston introduced \emph{invariant (quadratic) laminations} in his 1984 preprint as a vehicle for understanding the connected Julia sets and the parameter space of quadratic polynomials. Important ingredients of his analysis of the angle…
The entropy of a classical thermally isolated Hamiltonian system is given by the logarithm of the measure of phase space enclosed by the constant energy hyper-surface, also known as volume entropy. It has been shown that on average the…
The discovery of polynomial invariants of knots and links, ignited by V. F. R. Jones, leads to the formulation of polynomial invariants of spatial graphs. The Yamada polynomial, one of such invariants, is frequently utilized for practical…
In this paper, we consider certain partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with center of arbitrary dimension and obtain continuity properties of the topological entropy under $C^1$ perturbations. The systems considered have subexponential…
We consider properties of polynomials with coefficients in division rings. A theorem on the decomposition of a polynomial with coefficients in an arbitrary division ring is obtained. It is shown that if a non-central element is not a root…
This is a continuation of notes on dynamics of quadratic polynomials. In this part we transfer the our prior geometric result to the parameter plane. To any parameter value c in the Mandelbrot set (which lies outside of the main cardioid…
A classical problem in dynamical systems is to measure the complexity of a map in terms of their orbits. One of the main tools we have to achieve this goal is entropy. However, many interesting families of dynamical systems have every…
We study rational functions $f$ of degree $d+1$ such that $f$ is univalent in the exterior unit disc, and the image of the unit circle under $f$ has the maximal number of cusps ($d+1$) and double points $(d-2)$. We introduce a bi-angled…
