In this paper we give a complete characterization of those knotted toroidal sets that can be realized as attractors for both discrete and continuous dynamical systems globally defined in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We also see that the techniques used…

A contractive condition is addressed for extended 2-cyclic self-mappings on the union of a finite number of subsets of a metric space which are allowed to have a finite number of successive images in the same subsets of its domain. It is…

Let $I_1=[a_0,a_1),\ldots,I_{k}= [a_{k-1},a_k)$ be a partition of the interval $I=[0,1)$ into $k$ subintervals. Let $f:I\to I$ be a map such that each restriction $f|_{I_i}$ is an increasing Lipschitz contraction. We prove that any $f$…

We study the computational problem of rigorously describing the asymptotic behaviour of topological dynamical systems up to a finite but arbitrarily small pre-specified error. More precisely, we consider the limit set of a typical orbit,…

We study the dynamics of piecewise conformal maps in the Riemann sphere. The normality and chaotic regions are defined and we state several results and properties of these sets. We show that the stability of these piecewise maps is related…

For partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with mostly expanding and mostly contracting centers, we establish a topological structure, called skeleton{a set consisting of finitely many hyperbolic periodic points with maximal cardinality for…

Experiments observing the liquid surface in a vertically oscillating container have indicated that modeling the dynamics of such systems require maps that admit states at infinity. In this paper we investigate the bifurcations in such a…

Motivated by the existence of cyclic phenomena in which some characteristics are mapped into corresponding ones over more than one phase, we introduce the $r$-cyclic operators with respect to a covering of a metric space and investigate…

We study the dynamics of the piecewise planar rotations $F_{\lambda}(z)=\lambda (z-H(z)), $ with $z\in\C$, $H(z)=1$ if $\mathrm{Im}(z)\ge0,$ $H(z)=-1$ if $\mathrm{Im}(z)<0,$ and $\lambda=\mathrm{e}^{i \alpha} \in\C$, being $\alpha$ a…

Some fixed point results are given for a class of functional contractions over partial metric spaces. These extend some contributions in the area due to Ilic et al [Math. Comput. Modelling, 55 (2012), 801-809].

We study dissipative polygonal outer billiards, i.e. outer billiards about convex polygons with a contractive reflection law. We prove that dissipative outer billiards about any triangle and the square are asymptotically periodic, i.e. they…

Cyclic contractions generalize the usual contractivities in metric spaces and $b$-MSs. In this paper, we enhance several fixed point theorems related to cyclic (i) Banach self-maps, (ii) Chatterjea contractivities, (iii) Kannan…

In the first part of this text we give a survey of the properties satisfied by the C1-generic conservative diffeomorphisms of compact surfaces. The main result that we will discuss is that a C1-generic conservative diffeomorphism of a…

We present a general regularization procedure for piecewise smooth vector fields whose discontinuity locus is a variety of normal crossings type. We show that such regularization can be smoothed through a finite sequence of blowings-up,…

We consider the topological behaviors of continuous maps with one topological attractor on compact metric space $X$. This kind of map is a generalization of maps such as topologically expansive Lorenz map, unimodal map without homtervals…

Let $R$ be a unitary operator whose spectrum is the circle. We show that the set of unitaries $U$ which essentially commute with $R$ (i.e., $[U,R]\equiv UR-RU$ is compact) is path-connected. Moreover, we also calculate the set of…

We study small perturbations of a sectional hyperbolic set of a vector field on a compact manifold. Indeed, we obtain robustly finiteness of homoclinic classes on this scenary. Moreover, since attractor and repeller sets are particular…

We study pullback attractors of non-autonomous non-compact dynamical systems generated by differential equations with non-autonomous deterministic as well as stochastic forcing terms. We first introduce the concepts of pullback attractors…

We study locally compact contractive local groups, that is, locally compact local groups with a contractive pseudo-automorphism. We prove that if such an object is locally connected, then it is locally isomorphic to a Lie group. We also…

We prove that for any set $F$ of $n\ge 2$ pairwise disjoint open convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^3$, the connected components of the set of lines intersecting every member of $F$ are contractible. The same result holds for directed lines.
