We extend the single-perturbation approach (developed in our earlier publications for the case of a single map) to the analysis of the shadowing property for semigroups of endomorphisms. Our approach allows to give a constructive…

A skew loop is a closed curve without parallel tangent lines. We prove: The only complete surfaces in euclidean 3-space with a point of positive curvature and no skew loops are the quadrics. In particular, ellipsoids are the only closed…

Let $F$ be an $n$-vertex forest. We say that an edge $e\notin F$ is in the shadow of $F$ if $F\cup\{e\}$ contains a cycle. It is easy to see that if $F$ is "almost a tree", that is, it has $n-2$ edges, then at least…

The varietal hypercube $VQ_n$ is a variant of the hypercube $Q_n$ and has better properties than $Q_n$ with the same number of edges and vertices. This paper shows that every edge of $VQ_n$ is contained in cycles of every length from 4 to…

We study the geometry and topology of immersed surfaces in Euclidean 3-space whose Gauss map satisfies a certain two-piece-property, and solve the ``shadow problem" formulated by H. Wente.

In this paper, we employ a ray-tracing algorithm to simulate the shadows of three equal-mass black holes in static equilibrium across a wide parameter space. We find that the shadows consist of a larger primary shadow and several distorted,…

We define shadowable points for homeomorphism on metric spaces. In the compact case we will prove the following results: The set of shadowable points is invariant, possibly nonempty or noncompact. A homeomorphism has the pseudo-orbit…

We show that there are many (compact) convex semi-algebraic sets in euclidean space that do not have a semidefinite representation. This gives a negative answer to a question by Nemirovski, resp. it shows that the Helton-Nie conjecture is…

A $k$-path is a hypergraph P_k = e_1,e_2,...,e_k such that |e_i \cap e_j| = 1 if |j - i| = 1 and e_i \cap e_j is empty otherwise. A k-cycle is a hypergraph C_k = e_1,e_2,.. ,e_k obtained from a (k-1)-path e_1,e_2,...,e_{k-1} by adding an…

An oriented cycle is an orientation of a undirected cycle. We first show that for any oriented cycle $C$, there are digraphs containing no subdivision of $C$ (as a subdigraph) and arbitrarily large chromatic number. In contrast, we show…

There were obtained some properties of weakly m-convex sets. Various kinds of the problem of shadow were investigated. There was obtained the lower estimation for the number of balls that are necessary to create a shadow at the point of the…

A natural oriented (2k+2)-chain in CP^{2k+1} with boundary twice RP^{2k+1}, its complex shade, is constructed. Via intersection numbers with the shade, a new invariant, the shade number of k-dimensional subvarieties with normal vector…

An arrangement of pseudocircles $\mathcal{A}$ is a collection of Jordan curves in the plane that pairwise intersect (transversally) at exactly two points. How many non-equivalent links have $\mathcal{A}$ as their shadow? Motivated by this…

The cycle space of a graph corresponds to the kernel of an incidence matrix. We investigate an analogous subspace for digraphs. In the case of digraphs of graphs, where every edge is replaced by two oppositely directed arcs, we give a…

We demonstrate that there is a large class of compact metric spaces for which the shadowing property can be characterized as a structural property of the space of dynamical systems. We also demonstrate for this class of spaces, that in…

We show that every $3$-uniform hypergraph $H=(V,E)$ with $|V(H)|=n$ and minimum pair degree at least $(4/5+o(1))n$ contains a squared Hamiltonian cycle. This may be regarded as a first step towards a hypergraph version of the P\'osa-Seymour…
