We characterize geodesic paths in the $n$-dimensional unit sphere under sup norm. A geodesic path between two points is a shortest curve joining the two points.
The class of convex sets that admit approximations as Minkowski sum of a compact convex set and a closed convex cone in the Hausdorff distance is introduced. These sets are called approximately Motzkin-decomposable and generalize the notion…
Inhomogeneous lattice paths are introduced as ordered sequences of rectangular Young tableaux thereby generalizing recent work on the Kostka polynomials by Nakayashiki and Yamada and by Lascoux, Leclerc and Thibon. Motivated by these works…
The notion of a complete Boolean algebra, although completely legitimate in constructive mathematics, fails to capture some natural structures such as the lattice of subsets of a given set. Sambin's notion of an overlap algebra, although…
We introduce the notion of induced Maslov cycle, which describes and unifies geometrical and topological invariants of many apparently unrelated problems, from Real Algebraic Geometry to sub-Riemannian Geometry.
For a regular coupled cell network, synchrony subspaces are the polydiagonal subspaces that are invariant under the network adjacency matrix. The complete lattice of synchrony subspaces of an $n$-cell regular network can be seen as an…
In the Monge-Kantorovich transport problem, the transport cost is expressed in terms of transport maps or transport plans, which play crucial roles there. A variant of the Monge-Kantorovich problem is the ramified (branching) transport…
We introduce the notion of one-sided mapping cones of positive linear maps between matrix algebras. These are convex cones of maps that are invariant under compositions by completely positive maps from either the left or right side. The…
We characterize those semilattices that give rise to Boolean spaces on their associated spaces of ultrafilters. The class of 0-disjunctive semilattices, important in the theory of congruence-free inverse semigroups, plays a distinguished…
We describe the inverse image of the Riemannian exponential map at a basepoint of a compact symmetric space as the disjoint union of so called focal orbits through a maximal torus. These are orbits of a subgroup of the isotropy group acting…
We give bijective results between several variants of lattice paths of length $2n$ (or $2n-2$) and integer compositions of n, all enumerated by the seemingly innocuous formula $4^{n-1}$. These associations lead us to make new connections…
We define and study complex structures and generalizations on spaces consisting of geodesics or harmonic maps that are compatible with the symmetries of these spaces. The main results are about existence and uniqueness of such structures.
This paper discusses a more general contractive condition for a class of extended 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…
This article explores the topology of Pseudo-B\"ottcher totally invariant connected components of the wandering set in dynamical systems generated by on-invertible inner (open surjective isolated) mappings of compact surfaces. We describe…
We investigate the definability (reducts) lattice of the order of integers and describe a sublattice generated by relations 'between', 'cycle', 'separation', 'neighbor', '1-codirection', 'order' and equality'. Some open questions are…
We enumerate the edges in the Hasse diagram of several lattices arising in the combinatorial context of lattice paths. Specifically, we will consider the case of Dyck, Grand Dyck, Motzkin, Grand Motzkin, Schr\"oder and Grand Schr\"oder…
In this paper we provide sufficient conditions in order to show that the set image of a continuous and shift-commuting map defined on a shift space over an arbitrary discrete alphabet is also a shift space; additionally, if such a map is…
We prove that any globular subdivision of multipointed $d$-spaces gives rise to a dihomotopy equivalence between the associated flows. As a straightforward application, the flows associated to two multipointed $d$-spaces related by a finite…
The set of discrete lattice paths from (0, 0) to (n, n) with North and East steps (i.e. words w $\in$ { x, y } * such that |w| x = |w| y = n) has a canonical monoid structure inherited from the bijection with the set of join-continuous maps…
We initiate the study of a type $C_n$ generalization of the lattice path matroids defined by Bonin, de Mier, and Noy. These are delta matroids whose feasible sets are in bijection with lattice paths which are symmetric along the main…
