In this paper, we consider a planar dynamical system with a piecewise linear function containing an arbitrary number (but finite) of dropping sections and approximating some continuous nonlinear function. Studying all possible local and…

Let $I_1=[a_0,a_1),\ldots,I_{k}= [a_{k-1},a_k)$ be a partition of the interval $I=[0,1)$ into $k$ subintervals. Let $f:I\to I$ be a map such that each restriction $f|_{I_i}$ is an increasing Lipschitz contraction. We prove that any $f$…

We study the dynamics of a piecewise map defined on the set of three pairwise nonparallel, nonconcurrent lines in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The geometric map of study may be analogized to the billiard map with a different reflection rule so that each…

We study the asymptotical behaviour of iterates of piecewise contractive maps of the interval. It is known that Poincar\'e first return maps induced by some Cherry flows on transverse intervals are, up to topological conjugacy, piecewise…

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…

We analyze a one-dimensional piecewise continuous discrete model proposed originally in studies on population ecology. The map is composed of a linear part and a power-law decreasing piece, and has three parameters. The system presents both…

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 study the asymptotic dynamics of piecewise contracting maps defined on a compact interval. For maps that are not necessarily injective, but have a finite number of local extrema and discontinuity points, we prove the existence of a…

We consider a class of discontinuous piecewise linear differential systems in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with two pieces separated by a plane. In this class we show that there exist differential systems having: a unique limit cycle, a unique…

Piecewise contractions (PCs) are piecewise smooth maps that decrease distance between pairs of points in the same domain of continuity. The dynamics of a variety of systems is described by PCs. During the last decade, a lot of effort has…

We introduce a two-dimensional discrete-time dynamical system which represents the evolution of an angle and angular velocity. While the angle evolves by a fixed amount in every step, the evolution of the angular velocity is governed by a…

We study measure-theoretical aspects of torus piecewise isometries. Not much is known about this type of dynamical systems, except for the special case of one-dimensional interval exchange mappings. The last case is fundamentally different…

Experiments observing the liquid surface in a vertically oscillating container have indicated that modeling the dynamics of such systems require maps that admit states at infinity. In this paper we investigate the bifurcations in such a…

Piecewise smooth systems are intensively studied today in many application areas, such as economics, finance, engineering, biology, and ecology. In this work, we consider a class of one-dimensional piecewise linear discontinuous maps with a…

We study systems of globally coupled interval maps, where the identical individual maps have two expanding, fractional linear, onto branches, and where the coupling is introduced via a parameter - common to all individual maps - that…

We study discrete-time random dynamical systems where each fibre map is an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the circle. We prove that the existence of a random periodic cycle with period at least two implies that the random rotation…

We study a parametric family of piecewise rotations of the torus, in the limit in which the rotation number approaches the rational value 1/4. There is a region of positive measure where the discontinuity set becomes dense in the limit; we…

We consider dynamical systems given by interval maps with a finite number of turning points (including critical points, discontinuities) possibly of different critical orders from two sides. If such a map $f$ is continuous and piecewise…

We study systems with periodically oscillating parameters that can give way to complex periodic or non periodic orbits. Performing the long time limit, we can define ergodic averages such as Lyapunov exponents, where a negative maximal…

This paper investigates the dimension theory of some families of continuous piecewise linear iterated function systems. For one family, we show that the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor is equal to the exponential growth rate obtained…
