In a previous paper we considered a sequence of maps on a complete metric space $(X,d)$ and derived an extension of the Banach fixed point theorem. We showed that backward trajectories of maps $X\to X$ converge under mild conditions and…

In this paper, we show that a map $\delta$ over a triangular ring $\mathcal{T}$ satisfying $\delta(ab+ba)=\delta(a)b+a \tau(b)+\delta(b)a+b\tau(a)$, for all $a,b\in \mathcal{T}$ and for some maps $\tau$ over $\mathcal{T}$ satisfying…

For a process U(t,s) acting on a one-parameter family of normed spaces, we present a notion of time-dependent attractor based only on the minimality with respect to the pullback attraction property. Such an attractor is shown to be…

The global dynamics of a nonautonomous Carath\'eodory scalar ordinary differential equation $x'=f(t,x)$, given by a function $f$ which is concave in $x$, is determined by the existence or absence of an attractor-repeller pair of hyperbolic…

Let $X$ be a metric space. Recently in~[1] it was considered a new type of mappings $T\colon X\to X$ which can be characterized as mappings contracting perimeters of triangles. These mappings are defined by the condition based on the…

We study a two-parameter family of one-dimensional maps and related (a,b)-continued fractions suggested for consideration by Don Zagier. We prove that the associated natural extension maps have attractors with finite rectangular structure…

The moduli space of stable relative maps to the projective line combines features of stable maps and admissible covers. We prove all standard Gromov-Witten classes on these moduli spaces of stable relative maps have tautological…

Let $T$ be a $C^{1}$ competitive map on a rectangular region $R\subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$. The main results of this paper give conditions which guarantee the existence of an invariant curve $C$, which is the graph of a continuous increasing…

Let f: Y -> CP^2 be a birational morphism of non-singular (rational) surfaces. We give an effective (necessary and sufficient) criterion for algebraicity of the surfaces resulting from contraction of the union of the strict transform of a…

We characterize which planar graphs arise as the pullback, under a rational map $r$, of an analytic Jordan curve passing through the critical values of $r$. We also prove that such pullbacks are dense within the collection of…

We survey the global dynamics of semiflows generated by scalar semilinear parabolic equations which are $\mathbb{SO}(2)$ equivariant under spatial shifts of $x\in \mathbb{S}^1=\mathbb{R}/2\pi\mathbb{Z}$, i.e. $$ u_t = u_{xx} +…

We consider some planar triangular maps. These maps preserve certain fibration of the plane. We assume that there exists an invariant attracting fiber and we study the limit dynamics of those points in the basin of attraction of this…

In this paper, we prove that an expanding Thurston map $f\colon S^2 \rightarrow S^2$ is asymptotically $h$-expansive if and only if it has no periodic critical points, and that no expanding Thurston map is $h$-expansive. As a consequence,…

We discuss various issues related to the finite-dimensionality of the asymptotic dynamics of solutions of parabolic equations. In particular, we study the regularity of the vector field on the global attractor associated with these…

We give an alternative proof of the Benedicks-Carleson theorem on the existence of strange attractors in H\'enon-like families in the plane. To bypass a huge inductive argument, we introduce an induction-free explicit definition of…

In this paper, we show that the positive multiples of a particular function $F$ -- which is singular with a jump discontinuity at the origin -- are finite-time global attractors in $L^2$ for generic odd, smooth solutions of the one…

Using an Euclidean approach, we prove a new upper bound for the number of closed points of degree 2 on a smooth absolutely irreducible projective algebraic curve defined over the finite field $\mathbb F\_q$.This bound enables us to provide…

Let K be a number field, let f: P_1 --> P_1 be a nonconstant rational map of degree greater than 1, let S be a finite set of places of K, and suppose that u, w in P_1(K) are not preperiodic under f. We prove that the set of (m,n) in N^2…

We discuss the existence of pullback attractors for multivalued dynamical systems on metric spaces. Such attractors are shown to exist without any assumptions in terms of continuity of the solution maps, based only on minimality properties…

Among Thurston maps (orientation-preserving, postcritically finite branched coverings of the 2-sphere to itself), those that arise as subdivision maps of a finite subdivision rule form a special family. For such maps, we investigate…
