Let $\mathscr{R}$ be a finite von Neumann algebra with a faithful tracial state $\tau $ and let $\Delta$ denote the associated Fuglede-Kadison determinant. In this paper, we characterize all unital bijective maps $\phi$ on the set of…
Radar offers the advantage of providing additional physical properties related to observed objects. In this study, we design a physical-enhanced radar-inertial odometry system that capitalizes on the Doppler velocities and radar…
We present a combinatorial approach to rigorously show the existence of fixed points, periodic orbits, and symbolic dynamics in discrete-time dynamical systems, as well as to find numerical approximations of such objects. Our approach…
Adler, Keane, and Smorodinsky showed that if one concatenates the finite continued fraction expansions of the sequence of rationals \[ \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{4}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{1}{5}, \cdots \] into…
It is highly plausible that the region of space-time far from an isolated gravitating body is, in some sense, asymptotically Minkowskian. However theoretical studies of the full nonlinear theory, initiated by Bondi et al. (1962), Sachs…
Iterations of odd piecewise continuous maps with two discontinuities, i.e., symmetric discontinuous bimodal maps, are studied. Symbolic dynamics is introduced. The tools of kneading theory are used to study the homology of the discrete…
In this notes we show how a problem regarding continued fractions of rational numbers, lead to several phenomena in number theory and dynamics, and eventually to the problem of shearing of divergent diagonal orbits in the space of adelic…
A new technique for calculating the normal forms associated with the map restricted to the center manifold of a class of parameterized maps near the fixed point is given first. Then we show the Takens-Bogdanov point of delay differential…
The overlap Dirac operator at nonzero quark chemical potential involves the computation of the sign function of a non-Hermitian matrix. In this talk we present an iterative method, first proposed by us in Ref. [1], which allows for an…
While exploring dynamical systems, we often come across the principle of contraction mapping, or better known as the Banach fixed point theorem. It is an essential concept based on successive approximation, whose utility comes from two main…
We introduce new systems that we call odomutants, built by distorting the orbits of an odometer. We use these transformations for flexibility results in quantitative orbit equivalence. It follows from the work of Kerr and Li that if the…
We study a parametric family of piecewise rotations of the torus, in the limit in which the rotation number approaches the rational value 1/4. There is a region of positive measure where the discontinuity set becomes dense in the limit; we…
We collect from several sources some of the most important results on the forward and backward limits of points under real and complex rational functions, and in particular real and complex Newton maps, and we provide numerical evidence…
The study of combinatorial properties of mathematical objects is a very important research field and continued fractions have been deeply studied in this sense. However, multidimensional continued fractions, which are a generalization…
In 2008, Dan Romik studied in this journal Primitive Pythagorean Triples, or PPTs. In order to do so, he introduced a modified slow (subtractive) Euclidean algorithm, and showed that the underlying dynamical system of this Euclidean…
Rotating FMCW radar odometry methods often assume flat ground conditions. While this assumption is sufficient in many scenarios, including urban environments or flat mining setups, the highly dynamic terrain of subarctic environments poses…
The traditional first approach to fractional calculus is via the Riemann-Liouville differintegral $_{a}D_{x}^{k}$. The intent of this paper will be to create a space $K$, pair of maps $g: C^{\omega}(\mathbb{R}) \to K$ and $g': K \to…
The Liouville map assigns to each point in the Teichm\"uller space a positive Radon measure on the space of geodesics of the universal covering of the base Riemann surface. This construction which was introduced by Bonahon is valid for both…
We give a different presentation of a recent bijection due to Chapuy and Dol\k{e}ga for nonorientable bipartite quadrangulations and we extend it to the case of nonorientable general maps. This can be seen as a Bouttier--Di…
This paper presents a systematic study of the prehistory of the traditional subsystems of second-order arithmetic that feature prominently in the reverse mathematics program of Friedman and Simpson. We look in particular at: (i) the long…
