We investigate the combinatorial and dynamical properties of so-called nearly Euclidean Thurston maps, or NET maps. These maps are perturbations of many-to-one folding maps of an affine two-sphere to itself. The close relationship between…
Rational maps on the Riemann sphere occupy a distinguished niche in the general theory of smooth dynamical systems. First, rational maps are complex-analytic, so a broad spectrum of techniques can contribute to their study (quasiconformal…
In this paper we develop some combinatorial models for continuous spaces. In this spirit we study the approximations of continuous spaces by graphs, molecular spaces and coordinate matrices. We define the dimension on a discrete space by…
We study the dynamics of the one-dimensional quasi-affine map $x\mapsto \left\lfloor \lambda x +\mu \right\rfloor$, providing a complete description of the map's periodic points, and of the limit points of every $x\in\mathbb{R}$ under the…
We consider mappings satisfying an upper bound for the distortion of families of curves. We establish lower bounds for the distortion of distances under such mappings. As applications, we obtain theorems on the discreteness of the limit…
Among Thurston maps (orientation-preserving, postcritically finite branched coverings of the 2-sphere to itself), those that arise as subdivision maps of a finite subdivision rule form a special family. For such maps, we investigate…
In this note we prove the existence of two proper biharmonic maps between the Euclidean ball of dimension bigger than four and Euclidean spheres of appropriate dimensions. We will also show that, in low dimensions, both maps are unstable…
It is investigated a possibility of physical interpretation of vector fields (dynamic flows) in Euclidean spaces of higher dimension. There are analyzed the methods of measurements of dynamic flows, the characteristics of dynamic flow and…
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…
There is a growing interest in developing covariance functions for processes on the surface of a sphere due to wide availability of data on the globe. Utilizing the one-to-one mapping between the Euclidean distance and the great circle…
We study the dynamics of Thurston maps under iteration. These are branched covering maps $f$ of 2-spheres $S^2$ with a finite set $\mathop{post}(f)$ of postcritical points. We also assume that the maps are expanding in a suitable sense.…
A `discrete differential manifold' we call a countable set together with an algebraic differential calculus on it. This structure has already been explored in previous work and provides us with a convenient framework for the formulation of…
We study numerically classical and quantum dynamics of a piecewise parabolic area preserving map on a cylinder which emerges from the bounce map of elongated triangular billiards. The classical map exhibits anomalous diffusion. Quantization…
In this work we introduce a topological method for the search of fixed points and periodic points for continuous maps defined on generalized rectangles in finite dimensional Euclidean spaces. We name our technique "Stretching Along the…
We consider discrete metric spaces and we look for non-constant contractions. We introduce the notion of contractive map and we characterize the spaces with non-constant contractive maps. We provide some examples to discussion the possible…
Biharmonic and conformal-biharmonic maps are two fourth-order generalizations of the well-studied notion of harmonic maps in Riemannian geometry. In this article we consider maps into the Euclidean sphere and investigate a geometric…
Let $X$ be a compact real algebraic set of dimension $n$. We prove that every Euclidean continuous map from $X$ into the unit $n$-sphere can be approximated by regulous map. This strengthens and generalizes previously known results.
A special generic map is a smooth map regarded as a natural generalization of Morse functions with just 2 singular points on homotopy spheres. Canonical projections of unit spheres are simplest examples of such maps and manifolds admitting…
We study the spectrum of a random matrix, whose elements depend on the Euclidean distance between points randomly distributed in space. This problem is widely studied in the context of the Instantaneous Normal Modes of fluids and is…
We study the reflectional symmetry of a surface in the Euclidean 3-dimensional space with a cross-cap singularity with respect to planes. This symmetry is picked up by the singularities of folding maps on the cross-cap. We give a list of…
