Invertible compositions of one-dimensional maps are studied which are assumed to include maps with non-positive Schwarzian derivative and others whose sum of distortions is bounded. If the assumptions of the Koebe principle hold, we show…

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 geometry of the image of the nonnegative orthant under the power-sum map and the elementary symmetric polynomials map. After analyzing the image in finitely many variables, we concentrate on the limit as the number of variables…

Let $K$ be a number field, let $S$ be the set of all normalized, non-conjugate Archimedean valuations of $K$, and let $K_{S} = \prod_{v \in S} K_v$ be the Minkowski space associated with $K$. We strengthen recent results of…

We establish a local central limit theorem for primitive periodic orbits of expanding Thurston maps, providing a fine-scale refinement of the Prime Orbit Theorem in the context of non-uniformly expanding dynamics. Specifically, we count the…

We study transfinite cut-and-choose games on $T_0$ spaces, introducing the {\em point-separating number} $ps(X)$ and the {\em set membership number} ${sm}(X)$ as the ordinal-valued invariants measuring the minimal length of a game in which…

We prove that for any countable set $A$ of real numbers, the set of binary indefinite quadratic forms $Q$ such that the closure of $Q(\mathbb{Z}^2)$ is disjoint from $A$ has full Hausdorff dimension.

Wigner's theorem characterizes isometries of the set of all rank one projections on a Hilbert space. In metric geometry nonexpansive maps and noncontractive maps are well studied generalizations of isometries. We show that under certain…

In this paper, we give a new proof for the Hausdorff dimension of the non-dense orbit set for expanding maps. This proof is based on the sharp lower bound of the Hausdorff dimension of repellers given by Cao, Pesin and Zhao…

The paper discusses the conditions for the existence of fixed points of multivalued mappings that are not based on the linear structure of the set. The descriptions for the sets of fixed points for mappings with closed graph in compact…

Let $\mathcal{D}=(d_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ be a bounded sequence of integers with $d_n\ge 2$ and let $(i, j)$ be a pair of strictly positive numbers with $i+j=1$. We prove that the set of $x \in \RR$ for which there exists some constant $c(x) >…

We consider the dynamics of `nonlinear tent maps': piecewise smooth unimodal maps with nowhere vanishing derivative. We show that if a nonlinear tent map $f$ is not infinitely renormalizable, then all its periodic orbits of sufficiently…

We prove that there exists a scrambled set for the Gauss map with full Hausdorff dimension. Meanwhile, we also investigate the topological properties of the sets of points with dense or non-dense orbits.

We give a short proof of the well-known fact that the unit interval [0,1] is uncountable by means of a simple infinite game. We also show using this game that a (non-empty) perfect subset of [0,1] must be uncountable.

Time reversal symmetric triangular maps of the unit square are introduced with the property that the time evolution of one of their two variables is determined by a piecewise expanding map of the unit interval. We study their statistical…

We introduce two notions of a contractive orbit of a set-valued map defined in a first countable space. The first defines the contraction with respect to the topology of the underlying space while the second defines the contraction with…

Stochastic dynamical systems consisting of non-invertible continuous maps on an interval are studied. It is proved that if they satisfy the recently introduced so-called $\mu$-injectivity and some mild assumptions, then proximality,…

In this paper we show some remarkable consequences of the method which proves that every bisymmetric, symmetric, reflexive, strictly monotonic binary map on a proper interval is continuous, in particular it is a quasi-arithmetic mean. Now…

The nonlinear concepts of mixed summable families and maps for the spaces that only non-void sets are developed. Several characterizations of the corresponding concepts are achieved and the proof for a general Pietsch Domination-type…

We associate to each non-degenerate smooth interval map a number measuring its global asymptotic expansion. We show that this number can be calculated in various different ways. A consequence is that several natural notions of nonuniform…
