We consider integer recurrences of the form a_n = f(a_{n-1}), where f is a quadratic polynomial with integer coefficients. We show, for four infinite families of f, that the set of primes dividing at least one term of such a sequence must…
We prove, under different natural hypotheses, that the random multidimensional affine recursion $X_n=A_nX_{n-1}+B_n\in\mathbb{R}^d, n \geq 1,$ is recurrent in the critical case. In particular we cover the cases where the matrices $A_n$ are…
We prove that almost every non-regular real quadratic map is Collet-Eckmann and has polynomial recurrence of the critical orbit (proving a conjecture by Sinai). It follows that typical quadratic maps have excellent ergodic properties, as…
We consider the family of dehomogenized Loud's centers $X_{\mu}=y(x-1)\partial_x+(x+Dx^2+Fy^2)\partial_y,$ where $\mu=(D,F)\in\mathbb{R}^2,$ and we study the number of critical periodic orbits that emerge or dissapear from the polycycle at…
We study the rate of growth of ratios of intervals delimited by the post-critical orbit of a map in the quasi-quadratic family $x\mapsto -|x|^\alpha +a.$ The critical order $\alpha$ is an arbitrary real number $\alpha>1.$ The range of the…
Let $\beta$ be a non-unit real algebraic integer greater than one and $\{a_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$ be a sequence satisfying a linear recurrence relation $a_{n+3}=aa_{n+2}+ba_{n+1}+ca_{n}$. Under certain conditions, we prove that the number of…
We develop algorithms and techniques to compute rigorous bounds for finite pieces of orbits of the critical points, for intervals of parameter values, in the quadratic family of one-dimensional maps $f_a (x) = a - x^2$. We illustrate the…
The multiplier $\lambda_n$ of a periodic orbit of period $n$ can be viewed as a (multiple-valued) algebraic function on the space of all complex quadratic polynomials $p_c(z)=z^2+c$. We provide a numerical algorithm for computing critical…
This article reveals an analysis of the quadratic systems that hold multiparametric families therefore, in the first instance the quadratic systems are identified and classified in order to facilitate their study and then the stability of…
For planar polynomials systems the existence of an invariant algebraic curve limits the number of limit cycles not contained in this curve. We present a general approach to prove non existence of periodic orbits not contained in this given…
We prove that for a generic family of circle diffeomorphisms every parameter value that corresponds to an irrational rotation number is approximated by parameter values for which the diffeomorphisms have arbitrarily large finite numbers of…
We introduce a family of averaged meta-Fibonacci recursions $$ Q_{\alpha,m}(n) = 1+ \left\lfloor \alpha \frac1m \sum_{j=1}^m Q_{\alpha,m}(n-Q_{\alpha,m}(n-j)) \right\rfloor , $$ with initial conditions $$…
We study the class of entire transcendental maps of finite order with one critical point and one asymptotic value, which has exactly one finite pre-image, and having a persistent Siegel disc. After normalisation this is a one parameter…
Answering a question posed by Adam Epstein, we show that the collection of conjugacy classes of polynomials admitting a parabolic fixed point and at most one infinite critical orbit is a set of bounded height in the relevant moduli space.…
We present a finite-order system of recurrence relations for a permanent of circulant matrices containing a band of k any-value diagonals on top of a uniform matrix (for k = 1, 2, and 3) as well as the method for deriving such recurrence…
A parameter $c_0\in\mathbb C$ in the family of quadratic polynomials $f_c(z)=z^2+c$ is a critical point of a period $n$ multiplier, if the map $f_{c_0}$ has a periodic orbit of period $n$, whose multiplier, viewed as a locally analytic…
We prove that there is a residual set of families of smooth or analytic unimodal maps with quadratic critical point and negative Schwarzian derivative such that almost every non-regular parameter is Collet-Eckmann with subexponential…
We use the Weil bound of multiplicative character sums together with some recent results of N. Boston and R. Jones, to show that the critical orbit of quadratic polynomials over a finite field of $q$ elements is of length $O(q^{3/4})$,…
A polynomial f(x) has emergent reducibility at depth n if f^{\circ k}(x) is irreducible for 0\leq k\leq n-1 but f^{\circ n}(x) is reducible. In this paper we prove that there are infinitely many irreducible cubics f \in \mathbb{Z}[x] with…
In this note, we discuss the possible existence of finite critical trajectories connecting two zeros a(t) and b(t) of a family of quadratic differentials satisfying some properties. We treat the cases of holomorphic and meromorphic…
