Iterated functions system (IFS) is defined by specifying a set of functions in a classical phase space, which act randomly on an initial point. In an analogous way, we define a quantum iterated functions system (QIFS), where functions act…

For enumerative problems, i.e. computable functions f from N to Z, we define the notion of an effective (or closed) formula. It is an algorithm computing f(n) in the number of steps that is polynomial in the combined size of the input n and…

Given an algebraically closed field $K$, a dynamical sequence over $K$ is a $K$-valued sequence of the form $a(n):= f(\phi^n(x_0))$, where $\phi\colon X\to X$ and $f\colon X\to\mathbb{A}^1$ are rational maps defined over $K$, and $x_0\in X$…
