Motivated by control-affine systems in optimal control theory, we introduce the notion of a point-affine distribution on a manifold X - i.e., an affine distribution F together with a distinguished vector field contained in F. We compute…

In this paper we study geometric coincidence problems in the spirit of the following problems by B. Gr\"unbaum: How many affine diameters of a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$ must have a common point? How many centers (in some sense) of…

We show that there exists a unique possible definition, with certain natural properties, of the multiple point space of a holomorphic map between complex manifolds. Our construction coincides with the double point space and the k-th…

We give an axiomatic characterization of the fixed point index of an $n$-valued map. For $n$-valued maps on a polyhedron, the fixed point index is shown to be unique with respect to axioms of homotopy invariance, additivity, and a splitting…

Topological measures and quasi-linear functionals generalize measures and linear functionals. We define and study deficient topological measures on locally compact spaces. A deficient topological measure on a locally compact space is a set…

Let (X, d) be a complete metric space, and let S, T : X to CB(X) be a duality of multi-valued generalized weak contraction mappings or a duality of generalized weak contraction mappings. We discuss the common fixed points and endpoints of…

Measures generated by Iterated Function Systems composed of uncountably many one--dimensional affine maps are studied. We present numerical techniques as well as rigorous results that establish whether these measures are absolutely or…

Many approaches in the field of machine learning and data analysis rely on the assumption that the observed data lies on lower-dimensional manifolds. This assumption has been verified empirically for many real data sets. To make use of this…

We prove a centre manifold theorem for a map along a manifold-with-boundary of fixed points, and provide an application to the study of gradient descent with large step size on two-layer matrix factorisation problems.

Let $f:M\rightarrow M$ be a biholomorphisms on two--dimensional a complex manifold, and let $X\subseteq M$ be a compact $f$--invariant set such that $f|X$ is asymptotically dissipative and without sinks periodic points. We introduce a…

This paper investigates self-maps T from X to X which satisfy a distance constraint in a metric space which mixed point-dependent non-expansive properties, or in particular contractive ones, and potentially expansive properties related to…

A long-standing question is what invariant sets can be shared by two maps acting on the same space. A similar question stands for invariant measures. A particular interesting case are expanding Markov maps of the circle. If the two involved…

We establish common fixed point theorems for two pairs of weakly compatible self-mappings using an auxiliary function of two variables. Unlike classical results, our theorems do not assume continuity of the mappings and require completeness…

Both bi-harmonic map and $f$-harmonic map have nice physical motivation and applications. In this paper, by combination of these two harmonic maps, we introduce and study $f$-bi-harmonic maps as the critical points of the $f$-bi-energy…

There are several notions of duality between lines and points. In this note, it is shown that all these can be studied in a unified way. Most interesting properties are independent of specific choices. It is also shown that either dual…

Given any compact manifold M, we construct a non-empty open subset O of the space of C^1-diffeomorphisms of M and a dense subset D of O such that the centralizer of every diffeomorphism in D is uncountable, hence non-trivial.

The Cartesian squares (powers) of manifolds with the fixed point property (f.p.p.) are considered. Examples of manifolds with the f.p.p. are constructed whose symmetric squares fail to have the f.p.p..

The density functional theory (DFT) is used in a study of point defects on both UN (001) surface and sub-surface layers. We compare results for slabs of different thicknesses (both perfect and containing nitrogen or uranium vacancies) with…

Let (X,dX) and (Y,dY) be semimetric spaces with distance sets D(X) and, respectively, D(Y). A mapping F : X \to Y is a weak similarity if it is surjective and there exists a strictly increasing f : D(Y) \to D(X) such that dX = f \circ dY…

We consider the problem of computing the distance-dependent two-point function of general planar maps and hypermaps, i.e. the problem of counting such maps with two marked points at a prescribed distance. The maps considered here may have…
