Quasiconformal maps in the complex plane are homeomorphisms that satisfy certain geometric distortion inequalities; infinitesimally, they map circles to ellipses with bounded eccentricity. The local distortion properties of these maps give…
In this paper, we consider the convolutions of slanted half-plane mappings and strip mappings and generalize related results in general settings. We also consider a class of harmonic mappings containing slanted half-plane mappings and strip…
Let $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R})$ be the cone of all positive semidefinite $n\times n$ real matrices. Two of the best known partial orders that were mostly studied on subsets of square complex matrices are the L\"owner and the minus partial…
The possibilities for new or unusual kinds of topological, locally linear periodic maps of non-prime order on closed, simply connected 4-manifolds with positive definite intersection pairings are explored. On the one hand, certain…
We study dynamics and bifurcations of two-dimensional reversible maps having non-transversal heteroclinic cycles containing symmetric saddle periodic points. We consider one-parameter families of reversible maps unfolding generally the…
It is known that the set of permutations, under the pattern containment ordering, is not a partial well-order. Characterizing the partially well-ordered closed sets (equivalently: down sets or ideals) in this poset remains a wide-open…
New insight into the correspondence between Quantum Chaos and Random Matrix Theory is gained by developing a semiclassical theory for the autocorrelation function of spectral determinants. We study in particular the unitary operators which…
In the finite dimensional case, mean-type mappings, their invariant means, relations between the uniqueness of invariant means and convergence of orbits of the mapping, are considered. In particular it is shown, that the uniqueness of an…
Inverses semigroups and orthodox semigroups are either defined in terms of inverses, or in terms of the set of idempotents E(S). In this article, we study analogs of these semigroups defined in terms of inverses modulo Green's relation H,…
The matrix units of a digraph algebra, A, induce a relation, known as the diagonal order, on the projections in a masa in the algebra. Normalizing partial isometries in A act on these projections by conjugation; they are said to be order…
The existence of conservative quasipolynomial (QP) maps is investigated. A classification is given for dimensions two and three, and the analytical solution of the former case is constructed. General properties of n-dimensional QP…
Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) provide topology-preserving projections of high-dimensional data, yet their use as generative models remains largely unexplored. We show that the activation pattern of a SOM -- the squared distances to its…
We give a finite presentation of the mapping class group of an oriented (possibly bounded) surface of genus greater or equal than 1, considering Dehn twists on a very simple set of curves.
In this study we introduce the notions of semi-homotopy of semi-continuous maps and of semi-paths. We also construct a group structure, which will be called semi-fundamental group, using semi-loops and explore some properties of…
We study quasiconformal mappings of the unit disk that have planar extension with controlled distortion. For these mappings we prove a bound for the modulus of continuity of the inverse map, which somewhat surprisingly is almost as good as…
In this paper, we consider chaotic dynamics and variational structures of area-preserving maps. There is a lot of study on the dynamics of their maps and the works of Poincare and Birkhoff are well-known. To consider variational structures…
The existence and uniqueness of fixed points of both the cyclic self-mapping and its associate composite self-mappings on each of the subsets are investigated if the subsets in the cyclic disposal are nonempty, bounded and of nonempty…
For each $n\leq 6$, we characterize all the groups which can occur as either the orientation preserving topological symmetry group or the topological symmetry group of some embedding of $K_n$ in $S^3$.
We consider two group actions on $m$-tuples of $n \times n$ matrices. The first is simultaneous conjugation by $\operatorname{GL}_n$ and the second is the left-right action of $\operatorname{SL}_n \times \operatorname{SL}_n$. We give…
Maps that preserve adjacency on the set of all invertible hermitian matrices over a finite field are characterized. It is shown that such maps form a group that is generated by the maps $A\mapsto PAP^{\ast}$, $A\mapsto A^{\sigma}$, and…
