We study the topological dynamics by iterations of a piecewise continuous, non linear and locally contractive map in a real finite dimensional compact ball. We consider those maps satisfying the "separation property": different continuity…

We prove that topologically generic orbits of C0 transitive and non-uniquely ergodic dynamical systems, exhibit an extremely oscillating asymptotical statistics. Precisely, the minimum weak* compact set of invariant probabilities, that…

Let $f : [0,1)\rightarrow [0,1)$ be a $2$-interval piecewise affine increasing map which is injective but not surjective. Such a map $f$ has a rotation number and can be parametrized by three real numbers. We make fully explicit the…

For any transitive piecewise monotonic map for which the set of periodic measures is dense in the set of ergodic invariant measures (such as monotonic mod one transformations and piecewise monotonic maps with two monotonic pieces), we show…

Let us denote $\lambda$ the Lebesgue measure on $[0,1]$, put$$ C(\lambda)=\{f\in C([0,1]);\ \forall~A\subset [0,1], A~\text{Borel}:\ \lambda(A)=\lambda(f^{-1}(A))\}.$$ We endow the set $C(\lambda)$ by the uniform metric $\rho$ and…

In this paper, we first show that any nonlinear monotonic increasing contracting maps with one discontinuous point on a unit interval which has an unique periodic point with period $n$ conjugates to a piecewise linear contracting map which…

We say that $f:[0,1]\to [0,1]$ is a {\it piecewise continuous interval map} if there exists a partition $0=x_0<x_1<\cdots<x_{d}<x_{d+1}=1$ of $[0,1]$ such that $f\vert_{(x_{i-1},x_i)}$ is continuous and the lateral limits $w_0^+=\lim_{x\to…

We prove that for continuous maps on the interval, the existence of an n-cycle, implies the existence of n-1 points which interwind the original ones and are permuted by the map. We then use this combinatorial result to show that piecewise…

We show that every point $x_0\in [0,1]$ carries a representation of a $C^*$-algebra that encodes the orbit structure of the linear mod 1 interval map $f_{\beta,\alpha}(x)=\beta x +\alpha$. Such $C^*$-algebra is generated by partial…

We prove that if $\max\{|a_0|,|a_1|\}\le 10$ and $\lambda\in\ ]-2,2[$, then the sequence defined by $$ 0 \le a_{n+2} +\lambda a_{n+1}+a_n<1 $$ is periodic.

We investigate the iterative behaviour of continuous order preserving subhomogeneous maps that map a polyhedral cone into itself. For these maps we show that every bounded orbit converges to a periodic orbit and, moreover, that there exists…

In this paper the existence and unicity of a stable periodic orbit is proven, for a class of piecewise affine differential equations in dimension 3 or more, provided their interaction structure is a negative feedback loop. It is also shown…

By varying a parameter of a one-dimensional piecewise smooth map, stable periodic orbits are observed. In this paper, complete analytic characterization of these stable periodic orbits is obtained. An interesting relationship between the…

Maps $f,g\colon I\to I$ are called strongly commuting if $f\circ g^{-1}=g^{-1}\circ f$. We show that strongly commuting, piecewise monotone maps $f,g$ can be decomposed into a finite number of invariant intervals (or period 2 intervals) on…

We present a canonical extension of topological dynamics to transfinite iterations, which makes precise the idea of dynamical phenomena stabilizing at different time-scales. Specifically, consider a sequence of self-maps $F=\{f_n\}$ of a…

We find a normal form which describes the high energy dynamics of a class of piecewise smooth Fermi-Ulam ping pong models; depending on the value of a single real parameter, the dynamics can be either hyperbolic or elliptic. In the first…

This paper is an extension of an earlier paper that dealt with global dynamics in autonomous triangular maps. In the current paper, we extend the results on global dynamics of autonomous triangular maps to periodic non-autonomous triangular…

We prove the existence of an effective universal upper bound for the order of any integral periodic orbit of any integral algebraic dynamical system in a fixed ambient space. Using this, we demonstrate the decidability of periodicity in…

We consider piecewise expanding maps of the interval with finitely many branches of monotonicity and show that they are generically combinatorially stable, i.e., the number of ergodic attractors and their corresponding mixing periods do not…

In this paper we provide extensions of the $\lambda$-Lemma (also known as Inclination Lemma) for piecewise smooth vector fields and maps. In order to achieve our main result, we investigate the regularity of time-T-maps of piecewise smooth…
