The periodic points of a morphism of good reduction for a smooth projective curve with good reduction over the p-adics form a discrete set. This is used to give an interpretation of the morphic height in terms of asymptotic properties of…

Let $f_t$ be a one-parameter family of rational maps defined over a number field $K$. We show that for all $t$ outside of a set of natural density zero, every $K$-rational preperiodic point of $f_t$ is the specialization of some…

An existing dialogue between number theory and dynamical systems is advanced. A combinatorial device gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of non-negative integers to count the periodic points in a dynamical system. This…

We study local bifurcations of periodic solutions to time-periodic (systems of) integrodifference equations over compact habitats. Such infinite-dimensional discrete dynamical systems arise in theoretical ecology as models to describe the…

We prove that if $\max\{|a_0|,|a_1|\}\le 10$ and $\lambda\in\ ]-2,2[$, then the sequence defined by $$ 0 \le a_{n+2} +\lambda a_{n+1}+a_n<1 $$ is periodic.

We study discrete-time random dynamical systems where each fibre map is an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the circle. We prove that the existence of a random periodic cycle with period at least two implies that the random rotation…

A finite sequence of equidistant samples (a sample train) of a periodic signal can be identified with a point in a multi-dimensional space. Such a point depends on the sampled signal, the sampling period, and the starting time of the…

We study the extreme and the periodic $L_p$ discrepancy of point sets in the $d$-dimensional unit cube. The extreme discrepancy uses arbitrary sub-intervals of the unit cube as test sets, whereas the periodic discrepancy is based on…

We study the set of periods of degree 1 continuous maps from sigma into itself, where sigma denotes the space shaped like the letter sigma (i.e., a segment attached to a circle by one of its endpoints). Since the maps under consideration…

We prove the existence of periodic orbits of the two fixed centers problem bifurcating from the Kepler problem. We provide the analytical expressions of these periodic orbits when the mass parameter of the system is sufficiently small.

We determine periodic and aperiodic points of certain piecewise affine maps in the Euclidean plane. Using these maps, we prove for $\lambda\in\{\frac{\pm1\pm\sqrt5}2,\pm\sqrt2,\pm\sqrt3\}$ that all integer sequences $(a_k)_{k\in\mathbb Z}$…

We first give a condition for a normal operator on a Hilbert space to have no nonzero periodic points, then we give a characterization of normal operators with the whole space as periodic points. We proceed to study the structure of…

We relate periodic and recurrent points in dendritic Julia sets. This generalizes well-known results for interval dynamics.

In some particular cases we give criteria for morphic sequences to be almost periodic (=uniformly recurrent). Namely, we deal with fixed points of non-erasing morphisms and with automatic sequences. In both cases a polynomial-time algorithm…

When studying the least common multiple of some finite sequences of integers, the first author introduced the interesting arithmetic functions $g_k$ $(k \in \mathbb{N})$, defined by $g_k(n) := \frac{n (n + 1) ... (n + k)}{\lcm(n, n + 1,…

Consider a differential system of the form $$ x'=F_0(t,x)+\sum_{i=1}^k \varepsilon^i F_i(t,x)+\varepsilon^{k+1} R(t,x,\varepsilon), $$ where $F_i:\mathbb{S}^1 \times D \to \mathbb{R}^m$ and $R:\mathbb{S}^1 \times D \times…

Let f be a transcendental map, and let U be an attracting or parabolic basin, or a doubly parabolic Baker domain. Assume U is simply connected. Then, we prove that periodic points are dense in the boundary of U, under certain hypothesis on…

Let $\varphi: \mathbb{P}^{n}_{F} \to \mathbb{P}^{n}_{F}$ where $F$ is a complete valued field. If $x$ is a fixed point, such that the action of $\varphi$ on $T_{x}$ has eigenvalues $\lambda_{1}, \ldots, \lambda_{n}$, with $\lambda_{1},…

We show that for the generic continuous maps of the interval and circle which preserve the Lebesgue measure it holds for each k $\ge$ 1 that the set of periodic points of period k is a Cantor set of Hausdorff dimension zero and of upper box…

In this paper, we consider a planar dynamical system with a piecewise linear function containing an arbitrary number (but finite) of dropping sections and approximating some continuous nonlinear function. Studying all possible local and…
