Recently, Defant and Propp [2020] defined the degree of noninvertibility of a function $f\colon X\to Y$ between two finite nonempty sets by $\text{deg}(f)=\frac{1}{|X|}\sum_{x\in X}|f^{-1}(f(x))|$. We obtain an exact formula for the…

Let $f:X\to X $ be a dominant self-morphism of an algebraic variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We consider the set $\Sigma_{f^{\infty}}$ of $f$-periodic (irreducible closed) subvarieties of small dynamical…

${\cal A}_\mathsf{deg}$ is a self-stabilizing algorithm that computes a maximal independent set in a finite graph with approximation ratio $(\Delta + 2)/3$. In this note we show that under the central scheduler the number of moves of ${\cal…

We study the problem of finding algebraically stable models for non-invertible holomorphic fixed point germs $f\colon (X,x_0)\to (X,x_0)$, where $X$ is a complex surface having $x_0$ as a normal singularity. We prove that as long as $x_0$…

The dynamical degrees of a rational map $f:X\dashrightarrow X$ are fundamental invariants describing the rate of growth of the action of iterates of $f$ on the cohomology of $X$. When $f$ has nonempty indeterminacy set, these quantities can…

A finite dynamical system with $n$ components is a function $f:X\to X$ where $X=X_1\times\dots\times X_n$ is a product of $n$ finite intervals of integers. The structure of such a system $f$ is represented by a signed digraph $G$, called…

In this paper, we propose an approach for computing invariant sets of discrete-time nonlinear systems by lifting the nonlinear dynamics into a higher dimensional linear model. In particular, we focus on the \emph{maximal admissible…

We study some stronger forms of sensitivity, namely, F-sensitivity and weakly F-sensitivity for non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems. We obtain a condition under which these two forms of sensitivity are equivalent. We also justify the…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $f$ a differentiable function from a convex subset $C$ of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ to a smooth manifold. We define an invariant of $f$ via counting certain threshold functions associated to $f$.…

We study invariant sets and measures generated by iterated function systems defined on countable discrete spaces that are uniform grids of a finite dimension. The discrete spaces of this type can be considered as models of spaces in which…

We define arithmetical and dynamical degrees for dynamical systems with several rational maps on projective varieties, study their properties and relations, and prove the existence of a canonical height function associated with divisorial…

We consider an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random dynamical system of simple linear transformations on the unit interval $T_{\beta}(x)=\beta x$ (mod $1$), $x\in[0,1]$, $\beta>0$, which are the so-called…

Dynamical systems of a new kind are described, which are motivated by the problem of constructing diffeomorphism invariant quantum theories. These are based on the extremization of a non-local and non-additive quantity that we call the…

For a discrete function $f\left( x\right) $ on a discrete set, the finite difference can be either forward and backward. However, we observe that if $ f\left( x\right) $ is a sum of two functions $f\left( x\right) =f_{1}\left( x\right)…

In this paper we study a class of \emph{self-consistent dynamical systems}, self-consistent in the sense that the discrete time dynamics is different in each step depending on current statistics. The general framework admits popular…

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…

How is it possible to read the dynamical properties (ie when the time goes to infinity) of a system on numerical simulations? To try to answer this question, we study in this manuscript a model reflecting what happens when the orbits of a…

We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of one-dimensional Mott insulating bosons in the presence of a tunable effective electric field E which takes the system across a quantum critical point (QCP) separating a disordered and a translation…

Let f be a rational mapping of a space X . The complexity of (f,X) as a dynamical system is measured by the dynamical degrees $\delta_p(f)$, $1\le p\le {\rm dim}(X)$. We give the definition of the dynamical degrees show how they are…
