In this paper, we introduce a generalized piecewise translation map on the Euclidean space. We provide a special case when this map is always of finite type. For a finite type map in this case, we form conjectures on the semi-continuity of…

We describe the global dynamics of some pointwise periodic piecewise linear maps in the plane that exhibit interesting dynamic features. For each of these maps we find a first integral. For these integrals the set of values are discrete,…

We examine shifted symplectic and Poisson structures on spaces of framed maps. We prove some results about shifted Poisson structures analogous to those in existing ones about symplectic structures. Then, we consider the space Map(X,D,Y) of…

Let $-1<\lambda<1$ and $f:[0,1)\to\mathbb{R}$ be a piecewise $\lambda$-affine map, that is, there exist points $0=c_0<c_1<\cdots <c_{n-1}<c_n=1$ and real numbers $b_1,\ldots,b_n$ such that $f(x)=\lambda x+b_i$ for every $x\in…

We consider dynamical systems given by interval maps with a finite number of turning points (including critical points, discontinuities) possibly of different critical orders from two sides. If such a map $f$ is continuous and piecewise…

We study the statistical properties of piecewise expanding maps in the general setting of metric measure spaces. We provide sufficient conditions for exponential mixing of such systems with explicit estimates on the constants. We also…

We consider discrete metric spaces and we look for non-constant contractions. We introduce the notion of contractive map and we characterize the spaces with non-constant contractive maps. We provide some examples to discussion the possible…

We consider the family of piecewise linear maps $F(x,y)=\left(|x| - y + a, x - |y| + b\right),$ where $(a,b)\in \R^2$. In previous work, we identified a novel phenomenon: certain maps of this class possess one-dimensional invariant sets,…

We introduce and study a general concept of multiple fixed point for mappings defined on partially ordered distance spaces in the presence of a contraction type condition and appropriate monotonicity properties. This notion and the obtained…

For a continuous map on a topological graph containing a loop $S$ it is possible to define the degree (with respect to the loop $S$) and, for a map of degree $1$, rotation numbers. We study the rotation set of these maps and the periods of…

For any transitive piecewise monotonic map for which the set of periodic measures is dense in the set of ergodic invariant measures (such as monotonic mod one transformations and piecewise monotonic maps with two monotonic pieces), we show…

We consider the problem of defining the structure of a smooth manifold on the various spaces of piecewise-smooth loops in a smooth finite dimensional manifold. We succeed for a particular type of piecewise-smooth loops. We also examine the…

This paper explores the concept of topological transitivity in nonautonomous dynamical systems, which are defined as sequences of continuous maps from a compact metric space to itself. It investigates various conditions (including…

The study of topological information of spatial objects has for a long time been a focus of research in disciplines like computational geometry, spatial reasoning, cognitive science, and robotics. While the majority of these researches…

In this paper a class of linear maps on the 2-torus and some planar piecewise isometries are discussed. For these discontinuous maps, by introducing codings underlying the map operations, symbolic descriptions of the dynamics and…

In [S. Basu, A. Gabrielov, N. Vorobjov, Semi-monotone sets. arXiv:1004.5047v2 (2011)] we defined semi-monotone sets, as open bounded sets, definable in an o-minimal structure over the reals, and having connected intersections with all…

This is a survey article on trees, with a modest number of proofs to give a flavor of the way these topologies can be efficiently handled. Trees are defined in set-theorist fashion as partially ordered sets in which the elements below each…

In this paper we consider a one dimensional liner piecewise-smooth discontinuous map. It is well known that stable periodic orbits exist in this type of map for a specific parameter region. It is also known that the corresponding…

In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of a class of mappings defined on complete, (sequentially compact) cone metric spaces, without continuity conditions and depending on another function.

In this paper we propose an elementary topological approach which unifies and extends various different results concerning fixed points and periodic points for maps defined on sets homeomorphic to rectangles embedded in euclidean spaces. We…
