In this paper we consider the critical group of finite connected graphs which admit harmonic actions by the dihedral group $D_n$. In particular, we show that if the orbits of the $D_n$-action all have either $n$ or $2n$ points then the…

We prove that two topologically conjugate bi-critical circle maps whose signatures are the same, and whose renormalizations converge together exponentially fast in the $C^2$-topology, are $C^1$ conjugate.

We present the theory of multifunctions applied to graphs. Its interesting feature is that walks are recognized as iterations. We consider the graphs with arbitrary number of vertices which are determined by multifunctions. The mutually…

The postcritical set $P(f)$ of a rational map $f:\mathbb P^1\to \mathbb P^1$ is the smallest forward invariant subset of $\mathbb P^1$ that contains the critical values of $f$. In this paper we show that every finite set $X\subset \mathbb…

Let $H^d$ be the set of all rational maps of degree $d\ge 2$ on the Riemann sphere which are expanding on Julia set. We prove that if $f\in H^d$ and all or all but one critical points (or values) are in the immediate basin of attraction to…

Let $f:\hat{\mathbb C}\to\hat{\mathbb C}$ be a hyperbolic rational map of degree $d\ge2$ on the Riemann sphere. We give several conditions which are equivalent to the condition for the Julia set $J_f$ to be a Cantor set. It has been known…

The \textsc{Degree Realization} problem with respect to a graph family $\mathcal{F}$ is defined as follows. The input is a sequence $d$ of $n$ positive integers, and the goal is to decide whether there exists a graph $G \in \mathcal{F}$…

In this note we study common preperiodic points of rational maps of the Riemann Sphere. We show that given any degrees $d_1,d_2\geq2$, outside a Zariski closed subset of the space of pairs of rational maps $(f,g)$ of degree $d_1$ and $d_2$…

We numerically demonstrate that collective bifurcations in two-dimensional lattices of locally coupled logistic maps share most of the defining features of equilibrium second-order phase transitions. Our simulations suggest that these…

We propose a notion of critical set for two-dimensional surface diffeomorphisms as an intrinsically defined object designed to play a role analogous to that of critical points in one-dimensional dynamics.

Working over a field ${\mathbb{k}}$ of characteristic $\ne 2$, we study what we call bisector fields, which are arrangements of paired lines in the plane that have the property that each line in the arrangement crosses the paired lines in…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Given a polynomial f(x,y) in K[x,y] with one place at infinity, we prove that either f is equivalent to a coordinate, or the family (f+c) has at most two rational elements. When…

Over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exist rational functions with only one critical point. We give an elementary characterization of these functions in terms of their continued fraction expansions. Then we…

Given two one-dimensional families $f$ and $g$ of regular plane polynomial automorphisms parameterised by an algebraic curve $B$, all defined over some number field $K$, such that one of them is dissipative, we prove that at any parameter…

We show that if the two parts of a finite bipartite graph have the same degree sequence, then there is a bipartite graph, with the same degree sequences, which is symmetric, in that it has an involutive graph automorphism that interchanges…

Numerous studies have reported two types of doubling of invariant closed curves (ICCs) in dynamical systems: (a) the creation of two disjoint ICCs such that iterations flip between them; and (b) the creation of a single ICC of double the…

We prove that the morphism that maps a rational ruled surface to its singular locus is genericaly injective modulo isomophism and duality. We also calculate the dimension and the degre of its image.

We prove a formula for the multidegrees of a rational map defined by generalized monomials on a projective variety, in terms of integrals over an associated Newton region. This formula leads to an expression of the multidegrees as volumes…

Let $X,Y$ be two irreducible subvarieties of the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$, and $d\geq 1$ an integer number. The main result of this paper is an algorithm to construct {\bf explicitly}, in terms of $d$ and the ideals defining $X$ and…

We consider convex maps f:R^n -> R^n that are monotone (i.e., that preserve the product ordering of R^n), and nonexpansive for the sup-norm. This includes convex monotone maps that are additively homogeneous (i.e., that commute with the…
