We consider the space of degree $n\ge 2$ rational maps of the Riemann sphere with $k$ distinct marked periodic orbits of given periods. First, we show that this space is irreducible. For $k=2n-2$ and with some mild restrictions on the…

We consider divergence form elliptic operators in dimension $n\geq 2$ with $L^\infty$ coefficients. Although solutions of these operators are only H\"{o}lder continuous, we show that they are differentiable ($C^{1,\alpha}$) with respect to…

We consider the dynamics of holomorphic polynomials in $\mathbb C$. We show that the ergodic properties of the map can be seen already from the real parts of the orbits.

We study the long-term behavior of the iteration of a random map consisting of Lipschitz transformations on a compact metric space, independently and randomly selected according to a fixed probability measure. Such a random map is said to…

We use results on inclusions of free products and extensions of completely positive maps to determine the maximal $C^*$-envelope for upper triangular $3 \times 3$ matrices. We consider these same results in the context of larger upper…

Distributed maximization of a submodular function in the MapReduce (MR) model has received much attention, culminating in two frameworks that allow a centralized algorithm to be run in the MR setting without loss of approximation, as long…

We give conditions that characterize the existence of an absolutely continuous invariant probability measure for a degree one $C^2$ endomorphism of the circle which is bimodal, such that all its periodic orbits are repelling, and such that…

We consider a one dimensional elliptic distributed optimal control problem with pointwise constraints on the derivative of the state. By exploiting the variational inequality satisfied by the derivative of the optimal state, we obtain…

One of the most basic, longstanding open problems in the theory of dynamical systems is whether reachability is decidable for one-dimensional piecewise affine maps with two intervals. In this paper we prove that for injective maps, it is…

In this article, we pay attention to transitive dynamical systems having the shadowing property and the entropy functions are upper semicontinuous. As for these dynamical systems, when we consider ergodic optimization restricted on the…

We prove that any C^{1+} transformation, possibly with a (non-flat) critical or singular region, admits an invariant probability measure absolutely continuous with respect to any expanding measure whose Jacobian satisfies a mild distortion…

In a classical Hamiltonian theory with second class constraints the phase space functions on the constraint surface are observables. We give general formulas for extended observables, which are expressions representing the observables in…

We study order-preserving C^1-circle diffeomorphisms driven by irrational rotations with a Diophantine rotation number. We show that there is a non-empty open set of one-parameter families of such diffeomorphisms where the ergodic measures…

We prove a generalised Yuan--Hunt--Ma\~n\'e Conjecture: if $\mathcal{F}$ is the Banach space of $\alpha$-H\"older functions, and $\mathcal{T}$ is either a space of Lipschitz expanding maps, or of Anosov diffeomorphisms, or the family of…

In this short note, we propose to extend differentiability (with respect to a multidimensional parameter) of a normalized eigenfunction associated to the simple, dominating eigenvalue of the weighted transfer operator for a uniformly…

We prove that any closed map between metrizable spaces can be extended to a closed map between completely metrizable spaces with the same extensional dimension.

A multiscale optimization framework for problems over a space of Lipschitz continuous functions is developed. The method solves a coarse-grid discretization followed by linear interpolation to warm-start project gradient descent on…

Let $f:M\to M$ be a $C^{1+\epsilon}$-map on a smooth Riemannian manifold $M$ and let $\Lambda\subset M$ be a compact $f$-invariant locally maximal set. In this paper we obtain several results concerning the distribution of the periodic…

We consider a smooth expanding map g on the circle of degree 2. It is known that the Lyapunov exponent of g with respect to the unique invariant measure that is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure is positive and less…

We give lower bounds for the size of linearization discs for power series over $\mathbb{C}_p$. For quadratic maps, and certain power series containing a `sufficiently large' quadratic term, we find the exact linearization disc. For finite…
