We consider a specific %piecewise rotation of the plane that is continuous on two half-planes, class of piecewise rotations of the plane that are continuous on two half-planes, as studied in \cite{Bosh.Goet.03}, \cite{Goet.Quas.09} and…

The resonant dynamics of a charged particle, governed by the Lorentz force equation in an electromagnetic field generated by a current-carrying wire with a small harmonic modulation, is considered in this study. When regarded as a…

We study the topological dynamics by iterations of a piecewise continuous, non linear and locally contractive map in a real finite dimensional compact ball. We consider those maps satisfying the "separation property": different continuity…

A map $f{:}\,[0,1)\to [0,1)$ is a {\it piecewise contraction of $n$ intervals} ($n$-PC) if there exist $0<\lambda<1$ and a partition of $[0,1)$ into intervals $I_1,\ldots,I_n$ such that $f\vert_{I_i}$ is $\lambda$-Lipschitz for every $1\le…

Let P be a non-linear polynomial, K_P the filled Julia set of P, f a renormalization of P and K_f the filled Julia set of f. We show, loosely speaking, that there is a finite-to-one function \lambda from the set of P-external rays having…

We study maps of the unit interval whose graph is made up of two increasing segments and which are injective in an extended sense. Such maps $f_{\p}$ are parametrized by a quintuple $\p$ of real numbers satisfying inequations. Viewing…

We investigate the existence of collision-free nonconstant periodic solutions of the $N$-vortex problem in domains $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}$. These are solutions $z(t)=(z_1(t),\dots,z_N(t))$ of the first order Hamiltonian system \[…

We are concerned with the dynamics of $N$ point vortices $z_1,\dots,z_N\in\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ in a planar domain. This is described by a Hamiltonian system \[ \Gamma_k\dot{z}_k(t)=J\nabla_{z_k} H\big(z(t)\big),\quad k=1,\dots,N, \]…

We investigate the Hilbert complex of elasticity involving spaces of symmetric tensor fields. For the involved tensor fields and operators we show closed ranges, Friedrichs/Poincare type estimates, Helmholtz type decompositions, regular…

We study the transmission properties of a few-site Hubbard rings with up to second-nearest neighbor coupling embedded to a ring-shaped lead using exact diagonalization. The approach captures all the correlation effects and enables us to…

We consider the iterates of a generic injective piecewise contraction of the interval defined by a finite family of contractions. Let $\phi_i:[0,1]\to (0,1)$, $1\le i\le n$, be $C^2$-diffeomorphisms with $\sup_{x\in (0,1)} \vert…

We study the space of holomorphic discs with boundary on a surface in a real 2-dimensional vector bundle over a compact 2-manifold. We prove that, if the ambient 4-manifold admits a fibre-preserving transitive holomorphic action, then a…

Consider a periodically forced nonlinear system which can be presented as a collection of smaller subsystems with pairwise interactions between them. Each subsystem is assumed to be a massive point moving with friction on a compact surface,…

We describe a family $\phi_{\lambda}$ of dynamical systems on the unit interval which preserve Bernoulli convolutions. We show that if there are parameter ranges for which these systems are piecewise convex, then the corresponding Bernoulli…

The constrained linear quadratic regulation problem is solved by a continuous piecewise affine function on a set of state space polytopes. It is an obvious question whether this solution can be built up iteratively by increasing the…

For a class of flows on polytopes, including many examples from Evolutionary Game Theory, we describe a piecewise linear model which encapsulates the asymptotic dynamics along the heteroclinic network formed out of the polytope's vertexes…

We locate gaps in the spectrum of a Hamiltonian on a periodic cuboidal (and generally hyperrectangular) lattice graph with $\delta$ couplings in the vertices. We formulate sufficient conditions under which the number of gaps is finite. As…

In this paper, we investigate a transition from an elastica to a piece-wised elastica whose connected point defines the hinge angle $\phi_0$; we refer the piece-wised elastica $\Lambda_{\phi_0}$-elastica or $\Lambda$-elastica. The…

Inspired by the 2007 work by M.~Misiurewicz and A.~Rodrigues [Double Standard Maps, M. Misiurewicz, A. Rodrigues, Communications in Mathematical Physics], we consider a family of circle maps that are perturbations of the doubling map on the…

This paper is about the existence of periodic orbits near an equilibrium point of a two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system. The equilibrium is supposed to be a nondegenerate minimum of the Hamiltonian. Every sphere-like component of the…
