We define $G$-symmetric polygonal systems of similarities and study the properties of symmetric dendrites, which appear as their attractors. This allows us to find the conditions under which the attractor of a zipper becomes a dendrite.
We build an example of a system $\mathcal{S}$ of similarities in $\mathbb{R}^2$ whose attractor is a plane dendrite $K\supset [0,1]$ which satisfies one point intersection property, while the post-critical set of the system $\mathcal{S}$ is…
We find the conditions under which the attractor $K(S')$ of a deformation $S'$ of a contractible polygonal system $S$ is a dendrite.
Let $M$ be a manifold or (more generally) a locally compact, metrizable ANR. If $K$ is an attractor for a flow in $M$, with basin of attraction $\mathcal{A}(K)$, it is well known that the inclusion $i : K \subseteq \mathcal{A}(K)$ is always…
In this paper we give a complete characterization of those knotted toroidal sets that can be realized as attractors for both discrete and continuous dynamical systems globally defined in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We also see that the techniques used…
We prove that for any self-affine dendrite K generated by a polygonal system, there are constants C>0 and $\lambda\in(0, 1)$ such that for any x, y in K, the Jordan arc $\gamma$ in K with endpoints x, y satisfies the inequality…
We study the relationship between the vertices of an up-monotone polyhedron $R$ and those of the polytope $P$ obtained by truncating $R$ with the unit hypercube. When $R$ has binary vertices, we characterize the vertices of $P$ in terms of…
Simple rectilinear polygons (i.e. rectilinear polygons without holes or cutpoints) can be regarded as finite rectangular cell complexes coordinatized by two finite dendrons. The intrinsic $l_1$-metric is thus inherited from the product of…
It is known that a connected simple graph $G$ associates a simple polytope $P_G$ called a graph associahedron in Euclidean space. In this paper we show that the set of facet vectors of $P_G$ forms a root system if and only if $G$ is a cycle…
Pilgrim's Finite Global Attractor Conjecture has been verified for polynomials [1], but remains open for general rational maps. In this paper, we prove the conjecture for a family of rational maps obtained by gluing two PCF polynomials…
For any compact set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^3$ we define a number $r(K)$ that is either a nonnegative integer or $\infty$. Intuitively, $r(K)$ provides some information on how wildly $K$ sits in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We show that attractors for…
In this paper, plane polynomial systems having a singular point attracting all orbits in positive time are classified up to topological equivalence. This is done by assigning a combinatorial invariant to the system (a so-called "feasible…
Each self-similar dendrite K with a finite self-similar boundary defines a finite acyclic edge-labeled bipartite graph G, called the sprout of K. The paper shows that the sprout G determines the combinatorial properties of the dendrite K…
We study self-similar attractors in the space $\mathbb{R}^d$, i.e., self-similar compact sets defined by several affine operators with the same linear part. The special case of attractors when the matrix $M$ of the linear part of affine…
We extend the notion of a source unfolding of a convex polyhedron P to be based on a closed polygonal curve Q in a particular class rather than based on a point. The class requires that Q "lives on a cone" to both sides; it includes simple,…
A D-polyhedron is a polyhedron $P$ such that if $x,y$ are in $P$ then so are their componentwise max and min. In other words, the point set of a D-polyhedron forms a distributive lattice with the dominance order. We provide a full…
We consider the outer billiards map with contraction outside polygons. We construct a 1-parameter family of systems such that each system has an open set in which the dynamics is reduced to that of a piecewise contraction on the interval.…
Given any connected topological space $X$, assume that there exists an epimorphism $\phi: \pi_1(X) \to \mathbb{Z}$. The deck transformation group $\mathbb{Z}$ acts on the associated infinite cyclic cover $X^\phi$ of $X$, hence on the…
We study bifurcations of periodic orbits in three parameter general unfoldings of certain types quadratic homoclinic tangencies to saddle fixed points. We apply the rescaling technique to first return (Poincar\'e) maps and show that the…
We show that for any set of n distinct points in the complex plane, there exists a polynomial p of degree at most n+1 so that the corresponding Newton map, or even the relaxed Newton map, for p has the given points as a super-attracting…
