We develop Conley's theory for multivalued maps on finite topological spaces. More precisely, for discrete-time dynamical systems generated by the iteration of a multivalued map which satisfies appropriate regularity conditions, we…
We show how to construct a topological Markov map of the interval whose invariant probability measure is the stationary law of a given stochastic chain of infinite order. In particular we caracterize the maps corresponding to stochastic…
We study the jump of topological entropy for $C^r$ interval or circle maps. We prove in particular that the topological entropy is continuous at any $f \in C^r([0; 1])$ with $h_{top}(f) > \frac{\log^+ \|f'\|_\infty}{r}$. To this end we…
We introduce moment maps for continuous unitary representations of general topological groups. For solvable separable locally compact groups, we prove that the closure of the image of the moment map of any representation is convex.
We show that a strengthened version of the Collet-Eckmann condition for multimodal maps is topologically invariant. In particular, if f is non-uniformly expanding and the critical points are generic with respect to the absolutely continuous…
This paper is devoted to studying of some properties of multivalued mappings in Euclidean space. There were proved theorems on a fixed point for multivalued mappings whose restrictions to some subset in the closure of a domain satisfy "a…
In [S. Basu, A. Gabrielov, N. Vorobjov, Semi-monotone sets. arXiv:1004.5047v2 (2011)] we defined semi-monotone sets, as open bounded sets, definable in an o-minimal structure over the reals, and having connected intersections with all…
We determine the probability thresholds for the existence of monotone paths, of finite and infinite length, in random oriented graphs with vertex set $\mathbb N^{[k]}$, the set of all increasing $k$-tuples in $\mathbb N$. These graphs…
Topological entropy is a widely studied indicator of chaos in topological dynamics. Here we give a generalized definition of topological entropy which may be applied to set-valued functions. We demonstrate that some of the well-known…
We consider the class of interval maps with dense set of periodic points CP and its closure Cl(CP) equipped with the metric of uniform convergence. Besides studying basic topological properties and density results in the spaces CP and…
We study nonautonomous mappings of the plane by means of spaces of initial conditions. First we introduce the notion of a space of initial conditions for nonautonomous systems and we study the basic properties of general equations that have…
We generalize some results of Borwein, Burke, Lewis, and Wang to mappings with values in metric (resp. ordered normed linear) spaces. We define two classes of monotone mappings between an ordered linear space and a metric space (resp.…
We show that the (Gurevich) topological entropy for the countable Markov shift associated with an infinite transition matrix $A$ coincides with the non-commutative topological entropy for the Exel--Laca algebra associated with $A$, under…
Given a strictly positive measure, we characterize inner semicontinuous solid convex-valued mappings for which continuous functions which are selections almost everywhere are selections. This class contains continuous mappings as well as…
In connection with the Entropy Conjecture it is known that the topological entropy of a continuous graph map is bounded from below by the spectral radius of the induced map on the first homology group. We show that in the case of a…
We consider discrete metric spaces and we look for non-constant contractions. We introduce the notion of contractive map and we characterize the spaces with non-constant contractive maps. We provide some examples to discussion the possible…
It is known that the topological entropy of a continuous interval map $f$ is positive if and only if the type of $f$ for Sharkovskii's order is $2^d p$ for some odd integer $p\ge 3$ and some $d\ge 0$; and in this case the topological…
We consider Milnor's "tower algorithm" in the space of piecewise monotone maps, an iterative algorithm on the space of metrics which unifies, on the one hand, Thurston's iterative scheme which converges to holomorphic models, and, on the…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the number of paths of length $N$ on several classes of infinite graphs with a single special vertex. This vertex can work as an entropic trap for the path, i.e. under certain conditions the dominant part…
A unicellular map is the embedding of a connected graph in a surface in such a way that the complement of the graph is a topological disk. In this paper we present a bijective link between unicellular maps on a non-orientable surface and…
