We generalize the definition of topological entropy given by Adler, Konheim, and McAndrew (AKM) for piecewise continuous self-maps defined on a compact interval (pc-maps). For this notion of entropy, we prove that the properties of the…

For $a\in [0,+\infty)$, the function space $E_{\geq a}$ ($E_{>a}$; $E_{\leq a}$; $E_{<a}$) of all continuous maps from $[0,1]$ to itself whose topological entropies are larger than or equal to $a$ (larger than $a$; smaller than or equal to…

In this paper, we study the Arneodo-Coullet-Tresser map $ F(x,y,z)=(ax-b(y-z), bx+a(y-z), cx-dx^k+e z)$ where $a,b,c,d,e$ are real with $bd\neq 0$ and $k>1$ is an integer. We obtain stability regions for fixed points of $F$ and symmetric…

Transitivity, the existence of periodic points and positive topological entropy can be used to characterize complexity in dynamical systems. It is known that for graphs that are not trees, for every $\varepsilon>0,$ there exist (complicate)…

We describe Markov interval maps via branching systems and develop the theory of relative branching systems, characterizing when the associated representations of relative graph C*-algebras are faithful. When the Markov interval maps $f$…

The category of metric spaces is a subcategory of quasi-metric spaces. In this paper the notion of entropy for the continuous maps of a quasi-metric space is extended via spanning and separated sets. Moreover, two metric spaces that are…

Matrix-based centrality measures have enjoyed significant popularity in network analysis, in no small part due to our ability to rigorously analyze their behavior as parameters vary. Recent work has considered the relationship between…

We show that the automorphism group of every zero entropy infinite shift admits a "drift" homomorphism to $(\mathbb{R},+)$ that maps the shift map to 1. This homomorphism arises as the expectation, under an invariant measure, of a cocycle…

Let $\phi(x) = |1 - \frac 1x|$ for all $x > 0$. Then we extend $\phi(x)$ in the usual way to become a continuous map from the compact topological (but not metric) space $[0, \infty]$ onto itself which also maps the set of irrational points…

Let $X$ be a dendrite with set of endpoints $E(X)$ closed and let $f:~X \to X$ be a continuous map with zero topological entropy. Let $P(f)$ be the set of periodic points of $f$. We prove that if $L$ is an infinite $\omega$-limit set of $f$…

Maps $f,g\colon I\to I$ are called strongly commuting if $f\circ g^{-1}=g^{-1}\circ f$. We show that strongly commuting, piecewise monotone maps $f,g$ can be decomposed into a finite number of invariant intervals (or period 2 intervals) on…

In this paper we will develop a very general approach which shows that critical relations of holomorphic maps on the complex plane unfold transversally in a positively oriented way. We will mainly illustrate this approach to obtain…

An interval graph is proper iff it has a representation in which no interval contains another. Fred Roberts characterized the proper interval graphs as those containing no induced star $K_{1,3}$. Proskurowski and Telle have studied…

It is known that every homeomorphism of the plane has a fixed point in a non-separating, invariant subcontinuum. Easy examples show that a branched covering map of the plane can be periodic point free. In this paper we show that any…

We prove a number of identities relating the sofic entropy of a certain class of non-expansive algebraic dynamical systems, the sofic entropy of the Wired Spanning Forest and the tree entropy of Cayley graphs of residually finite groups. We…

In this paper, we give two examples to show that an invertible mapping is Li-Yorke chaotic does not imply its inverse being Li-Yorke chaotic, in which one is an invertible bounded linear operator on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space and…

Recently, the intriguing interplay between topology and quantum criticality has been unveiled in one-dimensional topological chains with extended nearest-neighbor couplings. In these systems, topologically distinct critical phases emerge…

We compute the pseudo entropy in two-dimensional holographic and free Dirac fermion CFTs for excited states under joining local quenches. Our analysis reveals two of its characteristic properties that are missing in the conventional…

We prove that the entropy map for countable Markov shifts of finite entropy is upper semi-continuous at ergodic measures. Note that the phase space is non-compact. Applications to systems that can be coded by these shifts, such as positive…

Fedorchuk's fully closed (continuous) maps and resolutions are applied in constructions of non-metrizable higher-dimensional analogues of Anderson, Choquet, and Cook's continua. Certain theorems on dimension-lowering maps are proved for…
