In this paper we study recurrences concerning the combinatorial sum $[n,r]_m=\sum_{k\equiv r (mod m)}\binom {n}{k}$ and the alternate sum $\sum_{k\equiv r (mod m)}(-1)^{(k-r)/m}\binom{n}{k}$, where m>0, $n\ge 0$ and r are integers. For…

We prove that for continuous maps on the interval, the existence of an n-cycle, implies the existence of n-1 points which interwind the original ones and are permuted by the map. We then use this combinatorial result to show that piecewise…

A seminal result of E. Ehrhart states that the number of integer lattice points in the dilation of a rational polytope by a positive integer $k$ is a quasi-polynomial function of $k$ --- that is, a "polynomial" in which the coefficients are…

We investigate periodic orbits and zoom-whirl behaviors around a Kerr Sen black hole with a rational number $q$ in terms of three integers $(z,w,v)$, from which one can immediately read off the number of leaves(or zooms), the ordering of…

We consider a system of the form x'=P_n(x,y)+xR_m(x,y), y'=Q_n(x,y)+yR_m(x,y), where P_n(x,y), Q_n(x,y) and R_m(x,y) are homogeneous polynomials of degrees n, n and m, respectively, with n<=m. We prove that this system has at most one limit…

We study non-Birkhoff periodic orbits in symmetric convex planar billiards. Our main result provides a quantitative criterion for the existence of such orbits with prescribed minimal period, rotation number, and spatiotemporal symmetry. We…

Bernard [3] showed that a Ma\~n\'e generic convex Hamiltonian has only non-degenerate periodic orbits on a given energy level. We show that one can use this result to prove that for a generic potential the prime periodic orbits of fixed…

Let $ K $ be a number field, $ S $ a finite set of places of $ K $, and $ \mathcal{O}_S $ be the ring of $ S $-integers. Moreover, let $$ G_n^{(0)} Z^d + \cdots + G_n^{(d-1)} Z + G_n^{(d)} $$ be a polynomial in $ Z $ having simple linear…

We study the existence of periodic solutions of the non--autonomous periodic Lyness' recurrence u_{n+2}=(a_n+u_{n+1})/u_n, where {a_n} is a cycle with positive values a,b and with positive initial conditions. It is known that for a=b=1 all…

Multiplicities of periodic orbit lengths for non-arithmetic Hecke triangle groups are discussed. It is demonstrated both numerically and analytically that at least for certain groups the mean multiplicity of periodic orbits with exactly the…

We prove the existence of $n$-periodic orbits for almost all $n\in\mathbb{N}$ in the R\"ossler system with attracting periodic orbit, for two sets of parameters. The proofs are computer-assisted.

Iteration of the quadratic map produces sequences of polynomials whose degrees {\sl explode} as the orbital period grows more and more. The polynomial mixing all 335 period-12 orbits has degree $4020$, while for the $52,377$ period-20…

One can formulate the classical Kepler problem on the Heisenberg group, the simplest sub-Riemannian manifold. We take the sub-Riemannian Hamiltonian as our kinetic energy, and our potential is the fundamental solution to the Heisenberg…

There is an open set of right triangles such that for each irrational triangle in this set (i) periodic billiards orbits are dense in the phase space, (ii) there is a unique nonsingular perpendicular billiard orbit which is not periodic,…

A subset $R$ of integers is a set of Bohr recurrence if every rotation on $\mathbb{T}^d$ returns arbitrarily close to zero under some non-zero multiple of $R$. We show that the set $\{k!\, 2^m3^n\colon k,m,n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ is a set of…

We prove the existence of at least $cl(M)$ periodic orbits for certain time dependant Hamiltonian systems on the cotangent bundle of an arbitrary compact manifold $M$. These Hamiltonians are not necessarily convex but they satisfy a certain…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence to be exactly realizable as the sequence of numbers of periodic points in a dynamical system. Using these conditions, we show that no non-constant polynomial is realizable, and give…

Consider $\{p_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, a sequence of polynomials orthogonal with respect to $w(x)>0$ on $(a,b)$, and polynomials $\{g_{n,k}\}_{n=0}^{\infty},k \in \mathbb{N}_0$, orthogonal with respect to $c_k(x)w(x)>0$ on $(a,b)$, where…

We characterize all bounded orbits of two similar Collatz-type quadratic mappings of the set of non-negative integers. In one case, where cycles of all possible lengths may occur, an orbit is bounded if and only if it reaches a cycle. For…

A recurrence equation is a discrete integrable equation whose solutions are all periodic and the period is fixed. We show that infinitely many recurrence equations can be derived from the information about invariant varieties of periodic…
