We propose two new evolutionary rules that is not mimic evolution of strategies based on the spatial Prisoner's Dilemma (PD). The former follows the selfish evolutionary rule and then the coexistence phase appears with weak phase transition…

Let $G$ be the group ${\rm PAff}_+({\bf S}^1)$ of piecewise--affine circle homeomorphisms or the group ${\Diff}^{\infty}(\mathbb R/\mathbb Z)$ of smooth circle diffeomorphisms. A constructive proof that all irrational rotations are…

We consider linear mappings on the $d$-dimensional torus, defined by $T(x) = Ax \pmod 1$, where $A$ is an invertible $d \times d$ integer matrix, with no eigenvalues on the unit circle. In the case $d = 2$ and $\det A = \pm 1$, we give a…

Two linear recurrences exhibit mirror symmetry connecting the constants $e$ and $\pi$. When parametrized, their asymptotic connection constants extend to meromorphic functions satisfying additive functional equations with rational…

We study the problem of existence of a periodic point in the boundary of an invariant domain for a surface homeomorphism. In the area-preserving setting, a complete classification is given in terms of rationality of Carath\'eordory's prime…

We prove that the pattern matching problem is undecidable in polymorphic lambda-calculi (as Girard's system F) and calculi supporting inductive types (as G{\"o}del's system T) by reducing Hilbert's tenth problem to it. More generally…

Using a graph representation of classical logic, the paper shows that the liar or Yablo pattern occurs in every semantic paradox. The core graph theoretic result generalizes theorem of Richardson, showing solvability of finite graphs…

We classify those rational maps $f: \mathbb{P}^1 \to \mathbb{P}^1$ for which there exists a contravariant tensor $q$ which is parallel, i.e. such that $f^*q // q$, by proving that such maps preserve a parabolic orbifold.

Let $\varphi_0$ be a $C^2$-conservative diffeomorphism of a compact surface $S$ and let $\Lambda_0$ be a mixing horseshoe of $\varphi_0$. Given a smooth real function $f$ defined in $S$ and some diffeomorphism $\varphi$, close to…

Our goal is to establish existence with suitable initial data of solutions to general parabolic equation in one dimension, $u_t = L(u_x)_x$, where $L$ is merely a monotone function. We also expose the basic properties of solutions,…

In this article it is proved that the dynamical properties of a broad class of semilinear parabolic problems are sensitive to arbitrarily small but smooth perturbations of the nonlinear term, when the spatial dimension is either equal to…

This paper is concerned with long-time interest of us, especially, the author, in realizing graphs as Reeb graphs of real algebraic functions of certain nice classes. The Reeb graph of a differentiable function is the set consisting of all…

We construct a family $\{\Phi_t\}_{t\in[0,1]}$ of homeomorphisms of the two-torus isotopic to the identity, for which all of the rotation sets $\rho(\Phi_t)$ can be described explicitly. We analyze the bifurcations and typical behavior of…

The generalized Oberwolfach problem asks for a decomposition of a graph $G$ into specified 2-regular spanning subgraphs $F_1,\ldots, F_k$, called factors. The classic Oberwolfach problem corresponds to the case when all of the factors are…

The conformal anomaly and the Virasoro algebra are fundamental aspects of 2D conformal field theory and conformally covariant models in planar random geometry. In this article, we explicitly derive the Virasoro algebra from an…

Let $\varphi$ be a smooth conservative diffeomorphism of a compact surface $S$ and let $\Lambda$ be a mixing horseshoe of $\varphi$. Given a smooth real function $f$ defined on $S$, we define for points $\eta$ in the unstable Cantor set of…

The Fibonacci sequence $\mathbb{F}$ is the fixed point beginning with $a$ of morphism $\sigma(a,b)=(ab,a)$. Since $\mathbb{F}$ is uniformly recurrent, each factor $\omega$ appears infinite many times in the sequence which is arranged as…

Abel equations of the form $x'(t)=f(t)x^3(t)+g(t)x^2(t)$, $t \in [-a,a]$, where $a>0$ is a constant, $f$ and $g$ are continuous functions, are of interest because of their close relation to planar vector fields. If $f$ and $g$ are odd…

We construct classes of two-dimensional aperiodic Lorentz systems that have infinite horizon and are 'chaotic', in the sense that they are (Poincar\'e) recurrent, uniformly hyperbolic, ergodic, and the first-return map to any scatterer is…

We study the period doubling renormalization operator for dynamics which present two coupled laminar regimes with two weakly expanding fixed points. We focus our analysis on the potential point of view, meaning we want to solve…
