We study the set of periods of degree 1 continuous maps from sigma into itself, where sigma denotes the space shaped like the letter sigma (i.e., a segment attached to a circle by one of its endpoints). Since the maps under consideration…
Using TESS 20-sec cadence data, we have discovered an unusual combination of pulsating stars in what we infer to be a binary system. The binary consists of a standard $\delta$ Scuti star with pulsations over the range 32-41 d$^{-1}$; this…
Iteration of the quadratic map produces sequences of polynomials whose degrees {\sl explode} as the orbital period grows more and more. The polynomial mixing all 335 period-12 orbits has degree $4020$, while for the $52,377$ period-20…
The orbits of the reversible differential system $\dot{x}=-y$, $\dot{y}=x$, $\dot{z}=0$, with $x,y \in R$ and $z\in R^d$, are periodic with the exception of the equilibrium points $(0,0, z)$. We compute the maximum number of limit cycles…
We present families of quantum error-correcting codes which are optimal in the sense that the minimum distance is maximal. These maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are defined over q-dimensional quantum systems, where q is an arbitrary…
MDS convolutional codes have the property that their free distance is maximal among all codes of the same rate and the same degree. In this paper we introduce a class of MDS convolutional codes whose column distances reach the generalized…

A Sequential Dynamical System (SDS) is a quadruple (\Gamma, S_i,f_i,w) consisting of a (directed) graph \Gamma=(V,E), each of whose vertices i\in V is endowed with a finite set state S_i and an update function f_i: \prod_{j, i \to j} S_j…
A finite dynamical system (FDS) is a system of multivariate functions over a finite alphabet, that is typically used to model a network of interacting entities. The main feature of a finite dynamical system is its interaction graph, which…
We consider the stability of periodic map with period-$2$ in linear fractional difference equations where the function is $f(x)=ax$ at even times and $f(x)=bx$ at odd times. The stability of such a map for an integer order map depends on…
This paper presents full classification of second minimal odd periodic orbits of a continuous endomorphisms on the real line. A $(2k+1)$-periodic orbit ($k\geq 3$) is called second minimal for the map $f$, if $2k-1$ is a minimal period of…
Let $f$ be a continuous circle map and let $F$ be a lifting of $f$. In this note we study how the existence of a large orbit for $F$ affects its set of periods. More precisely, we show that, if $F$ is of degree $d\geq 1$ and has a periodic…

In this paper we consider a general class $\mathcal E$ of self-similar sets with complete overlaps. Given a self-similar iterated function system $\Phi=(E, \{f_i\}_{i=1}^m)\in\mathcal E$ on the real line, for each point $x\in E$ we can find…
Let $A(n, d)$ denote the maximum size of a binary code of length $n$ and minimum Hamming distance $d$. Studying $A(n, d)$, including efforts to determine it as well to derive bounds on $A(n, d)$ for large $n$'s, is one of the most…
It is shown that the maximum size of a binary subspace code of packet length $v=6$, minimum subspace distance $d=4$, and constant dimension $k=3$ is $M=77$; in Finite Geometry terms, the maximum number of planes in $\operatorname{PG}(5,2)$…
