Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function and let $I(f)$ denote the set of points that escape to infinity under iteration. We give conditions which ensure that, for certain functions, $I(f)$ is connected. In particular, we show that…

We investigate the set $I$ of parameters $\kappa$ for which the singular value of $z\mapsto e^z+\kappa$ converges to $\infty$. The set $I$ consists of uncountably many parameter rays, plus landing points of some of these rays. We show that…

We study the Hausdorff dimension of self-similar sets and measures on the line. We show that if the dimension is smaller than the minimum of 1 and the similarity dimension, then at small scales there are super-exponentially close cylinders.…

Let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space with $n$ proper continuous self maps $\tau_i:X \to X$ for $1 \le i \le n$. To this we associate two topological conjugacy algebras which emerge as the natural candidates for the universal algebra…

We discuss the geometry of trees endowed with a causal structure using the conventional framework of equilibrium statistical mechanics. We show how this ensemble is related to popular growing network models. In particular we demonstrate…

The dynamical degree of a dominant rational map $f:\mathbb{P}^N\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^N$ is the quantity $\delta(f):=\lim(\text{deg} f^n)^{1/n}$. We study the variation of dynamical degrees in 1-parameter families of maps $f_T$. We make a…

We show that given a one parameter family $F_b$ of strongly dissipative infinitely renormalisable H\'enon-like maps, parametrised by a quantity called the `average Jacobian' $b$, the set of all parameters $b$ such that $F_b$ has a Cantor…

We generalize herein the usual circular map by considering inflexions of arbitrary power $z$, and verify that the scaling law which has been recently proposed [Lyra and Tsallis, Phys.Rev.Lett. 80 (1998) 53] holds for a large range of $z$.…

We study the combination of two o-minimal extensions of the theory of real closed fields: one by a T-convex subring and the other by a T-derivation. Let T be a complete, model complete o-minimal extension of RCF. We show that the combined…

We deal with the finite family $\mathcal{F}$ of continuous maps on the Hausdorff space. A nonempty compact subset $A$ of such space is called a strict attractor if it has an open neighborhood $U$ such that…

For an infinite iterated function system $\mathbf{f}$ on $[0,1]$ with an attractor $\Lambda(\mathbf{f})$ and for an infinite subset $D\subseteq \mathbb{N}$, consider the set \[ \mathbb E(\mathbf{f},D)= \{ x \in \Lambda(\mathbf{f}):…

For a fixed $\theta^2=1/m$, $m \in \mathbb{N}_+$, let $x \in [0, \theta)$ and $[a_1(x) \theta, a_2(x) \theta, \ldots]$ be the $\theta$-expansion of $x$. Our first goal is to extend for $\theta$-expansions the results of Jarnik \cite{J-1928}…

A recent result of one of the authors says that every connected subcubic bipartite graph that is not isomorphic to the Heawood graph has at least one, and in fact a positive proportion of its eigenvalues in the interval [-1,1]. We construct…

Let $f$ be the $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear map over $\mathbb{F}_{q^{2n}}$ defined by $x\mapsto x+ax^{q^s}+bx^{q^{n+s}}$ with $\gcd(n,s)=1$. It is known that the kernel of $f$ has dimension at most $2$, as proved by Csajb\'ok et al. in "A new…

Three dimensional H\'non-like map $$ F(x,y,z) = (f(x) - \epsilon (x,y,z),\ x,\ \delta (x,y,z)) $$ is defined on the cubic box $ B $. An invariant space under renormalization would appear only in higher dimension. Consider renormalizable…

In this paper we study the following set\[A=\{p(n)+2^nd \mod 1: n\geq 1\}\subset [0.1],\] where $p$ is a polynomial with at least one irrational coefficient on non constant terms, $d$ is any real number and for $a\in [0,\infty)$, $a \mod 1$…

We introduce a class of Falconer distance problems, which we call of restricted type, lying between the classical version and its pinned variant. Prototypical restricted distance sets are the diagonal distance sets, $k$-point configuration…

Let $\{ B(t) \colon 0\leq t\leq 1\}$ be a linear Brownian motion and let $\dim$ denote the Hausdorff dimension. Let $\alpha>\frac12$ and $1\leq \beta \leq 2$. We prove that, almost surely, there exists no set $A\subset[0,1]$ such that $\dim…

We consider certain non-integer base $\beta$-expansions of Parry's type and we study various properties of the transfer (Perron-Frobenius) operator $\mathcal{P}:L^p([0,1])\mapsto L^p([0,1])$ with $p\geq 1$ and its associated composition…

Given some integer $m \geq 3$, we find the first explicit collection of countably many intervals in $(1,2)$ such that for any $q$ in one of these intervals, the set of points with exactly $m$ base $q$ expansions is nonempty and moreover has…
