We prove that, for every invertible horizontal-like map (i.e., H{\'e}non-like map) in any dimension, the sequence of the dynamical degrees is increasing until that of maximal value, which is the main dynamical degree, and decreasing after…
This thesis attempts to contribute to the study of differentiable dynamics both from a semi-local and global point of view. The center of study is differentiable dynamics in manifolds of dimension 3 where we are interested in the…
We introduce a new system of surface integral equations for Maxwell's transmission problem in three dimensions. This system has two remarkable features, both of which we prove. First, it is well-posed at all frequencies. Second, the…
For a finite set $S$ of points in the plane and a graph with vertices on $S$ consider the disks with diameters induced by the edges. We show that for any odd set $S$ there exists a Hamiltonian cycle for which these disks share a point, and…
We study the stable behaviour of discrete dynamical systems where the map is convex and monotone with respect to the standard positive cone. The notion of tangential stability for fixed points and periodic points is introduced, which is…
We present a general regularization procedure for piecewise smooth vector fields whose discontinuity locus is a variety of normal crossings type. We show that such regularization can be smoothed through a finite sequence of blowings-up,…

We establish the effective {\em finite dimensionality} of the dynamics corresponding to a flow-plate interaction PDE model arising in aeroelasticity: a nonlinear panel, in the absence of rotational inertia, immersed in an inviscid potential…
We study generic waves without rotational symmetry in (2+1) - dimensional noncommutative scalar field theory. In the representation chosen, the radial coordinate is naturally rendered discrete. Nonlocality along this coordinate, induced by…
The Conley theory has a tool to guarantee the existence of periodic trajectories in isolating neighborhoods of semi-dynamical systems. We prove that the positive trajectories generated by a piecewise-smooth vector field $Z=(X, Y)$ defined…
Based on both qualitative method and numerical tests for a series of particular cases in the parameter region, a=1, 0<b <1, it is shown that the three-dimensional system (2) may have a series of interesting phenomena on the non-trivial…
In this work we consider families of smooth vector fields having a persistent polycycle with $n$ hyperbolic saddles. We derive the asymptotic expansion of the return map associated to the polycycle, determining explicitly its leading terms.…
A technique is introduced which allows to generate -- starting from any solvable discrete-time dynamical system involving N time-dependent variables -- new, generally nonlinear, generations of discrete-time dynamical systems, also involving…
We consider $k$-dimensional discrete-time systems of the form $x_{n+1}=F(x_n,\ldots,x_{n-k+1})$ in which the map $F$ is continuous and monotonic in each one of its arguments. We define a partial order on $\mathbb{R}^{2k}_+$, compatible with…

In this paper we address the following questions: (i) Let $C\subset \mathbb C^2$ be an orbit of a polynomial vector field which has finite total Gaussian curvature. Is $C$ contained in an algebraic curve? (ii) What can be said of a…
We consider the dynamics of vector fields on three-manifolds which are constrained to lie within a plane field, such as occurs in nonholonomic dynamics. On compact manifolds, such vector fields force dynamics beyond that of a gradient flow,…
