In this paper we consider wildly ramified power series, \emph{i.e.}, power series defined over a field of positive characteristic, fixing the origin, where it is tangent to the identity. In this setting we introduce a new invariant under…
We study analytic germs in one variable having a parabolic fixed point at the origin, over an ultrametric ground field of positive characteristic. It is conjectured that for such a germ the origin is isolated as a periodic point. Our main…
In this paper we study lower ramification numbers of power series tangent to the identity that are defined over fields of positive characteristics $p$. Let $g$ be such a series, then $g$ has a fixed point at the origin and the corresponding…
In this paper we study the geometric location of periodic points of power series defined over fields of prime characteristic $p$. More specifically, we find a lower bound for the absolute value of all periodic points in the open unit disk…
We call $i$ a fixed point of a given sequence if the value of that sequence at the $i$-th position coincides with $i$. Here, we enumerate fixed points in the class of restricted growth sequences. The counting process is conducted by…
Let $K$ be a complete discrete valuation field with residue class field $k$, where both are of positive characteristic $p$. Then the group of wild automorphisms of $K$ can be identified with the group under composition of formal power…
In this paper, we obtain some factorization results on formal power series over principle ideal domains with sharp bounds on number of irreducible factors. These factorization results correspondingly lead to irreducibility criteria for…
The map x -> x^x modulo p is related to a variation of the digital signature scheme in a similar way to the discrete exponentiation map, but it has received much less study. We explore the number of fixed points of this map by a statistical…
We study ultrametric germs in one variable having an irrationally indifferent fixed point at the origin with a prescribed multiplier. We show that for many values of the multiplier, the cycles in the unit disk of the corresponding monic…
We study the properties of time sequences extracted from a self-organized critical system, within the framework of the mathematical multifractal analysis. To this end, we propose a fixed-mass algorithm, well suited to deal with highly…
We introduce a fixed point iteration process built on optimization of a linear function over a compact domain. We prove the process always converges to a fixed point and explore the set of fixed points in various convex sets. In particular,…
We present new criteria on the existence of fixed points that combine some monotonicity assumptions with the classical fixed point index theory. As an illustrative application, we use our theoretical results to prove the existence of…
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…
We consider the linear combinations of elements of two sequences: the first one a priory given nonnegative sequence and the second random sequence from the unit interval. We investigate the expected value of the smallest natural number such…
The recently introduced continuous Hopfield network (see Ramsauer et al.) exhibits large memorization capabilities, which manifest as attractive fixed points of its update rule -- a differentiable function consisting of two linear mappings…
This two-part paper details a theory of solvability for the power flow equations in lossless power networks. In Part I, we derive a new formulation of the lossless power flow equations, which we term the fixed-point power flow. The model is…
We investigate the size of fixed point sets of automorphisms of bounded domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. In one complex variable, a nontrivial automorphism has at most two fixed points, but in higher dimensions fixed point sets need not be…
Distributional fixed points of a Poisson shot noise transform (for nonnegative, nonincreasing response functions bounded by 1) are characterized. The tail behavior of fixed points is described. Typically they have either exponential moments…
We obtain new results on the existence and multiplicity of fixed points of Hammerstein equations in very general cones. In order to achieve this, we combine a new formulation of cones in terms of continuous functionals with fixed point…
A family of formal power series, such that its coefficients satisfy a recursion formula, is characterized in terms of the summability, in the sense of J. P. Ramis, of its elements along certain well chosen directions. We describe a set of…
