A topological mating is a map defined by gluing together the filled Julia sets of two quadratic polynomials. The identifications are visualized and understood by pinching ray-equivalence classes of the formal mating. For postcritically…
In this paper we prove tight bounds on the combinatorial and topological complexity of sets defined in terms of $n$ definable sets belonging to some fixed definable family of sets in an o-minimal structure. This generalizes the…
We investigate the use of iterated function system (IFS) models for data analysis. An IFS is a discrete dynamical system in which each time step corresponds to the application of one of a finite collection of maps. The maps, which represent…
We study the dynamics of iteration function systems generated by a pair of circle diffeomorphisms close to rotations in the $C^{1+\mathrm{bv}}$-topology. We characterize the obstruction to minimality and describe the limit set. In…
The article addresses some open questions about the relations between the topological weak mixing property and the transitivity of the map $f\times f^2 \times...\times f^m$, where $f\colon X\ra X$ is a topological dynamical system on a…
We study iteration maps of recurrence relations arising from mutation periodic quivers of arbitrary period. Combining tools from cluster algebra theory and (pre)symplectic geometry, we show that these cluster iteration maps can be reduced…
This paper is concerned with realizing Lattes maps as subdivision maps of finite subdivision rules. The main result is that the Lattes maps in all but finitely many analytic conjugacy classes can be realized as subdivision maps of finite…
In earlier work we introduced topologically minimal surfaces as the analogue of geometrically minimal surfaces. Here we strengthen the analogy by showing that complicated amalgamations act as barriers to low genus, topologically minimal…
Floyd gave an example of a minimal dynamical system which was an extension of an odometer and the fibres of the associated factor map were either singletons or intervals. Gjerde and Johansen showed that the odometer could be replaced by any…
We construct an example of an iterated function system on the line, consisting of linear fractional transformations, such that two of the maps share a fixed points, but the dimension of the attractor equals the conformal dimension, so that…
The goal of this article is to study how combinatorial equivalence implies topological conjugacy. For that, we introduce the concept of kneading sequences for nonautonomous discrete dynamical systems and show that these sequences are a…
The central purpose of this article is to establish new inverse and implicit function theorems for differentiable maps with isolated critical points. One of the key ingredients is a discovery of the fact that differentiable maps with…
In this paper we study quasi-symmetric conjugations of $C^2$ weakly order-preserving circle maps with a flat interval. Under the assumption that the maps have the same rotation number of bounded type and that bounded geometry holds we…
Generalized synchronization is plausibly the most complex form of synchronization. Previous studies have revealed the existence of weak or strong forms of generalized synchronization depending on the multi- or mono-valued nature of the…
A common form of MapReduce application involves discovering relationships between certain pairs of inputs. Similarity joins serve as a good example of this type of problem, which we call a "some-pairs" problem. In the framework of Afrati et…
Two simple Cellular Automata, which mimic the Collatz-Ulam iterated map (3x+1 map), are introduced. These Cellular Automata allow to test efficiently the Collatz conjecture for very large numbers.
Every quasi-attractor of an iterated function system (IFS) of continuous functions on a first-countable Hausdorff topological space is renderable by the probabilistic chaos game. By contrast, we prove that the backward minimality is a…
We ask under what conditions on the function $f$, and a set of maps $\mathcal T$, it is the case that $f$ is a coboundary for some map in $\mathcal T$. We also consider for a function $f$, and a set of maps $\mathcal T$, when we have $f$…
We investigate iterated function systems (IFS) that randomly alternate between two non-identical one-dimensional maps. Our primary focus is on finite invariant sets exhibiting ``toss-and-catch'' dynamics, in which trajectories alternate…
Given a non-invertible dynamical system with a transfer operator, we show there is a minimal cover with a transfer operator that preserves continuous functions. We also introduce an essential cover with even stronger continuity properties.…
