We study a parametric family of piecewise rotations of the torus, in the limit in which the rotation number approaches the rational value 1/4. There is a region of positive measure where the discontinuity set becomes dense in the limit; we…

Laminar-turbulent transition on a rotating wind turbine blade at a chord Reynolds number of $1 \times 10^5$ and varying angles of attack ($AoA$) is studied with direct numerical simulations and linear stability theory. The rotation effects…

We study the dynamics of multidimensional contracted rotations and address a problem posed by Y. Bugeaud and J-P. Conze in \textit{Acta Arithmetica} in 1999. More precisely, we show that if $A$ is an invertible linear contraction of…

We study piecewise injective, but not necessarily globally injective, contracting maps on a compact subset of \(\bR^d\). We prove that generically the attractor and the set of discontinuities of such a map are disjoint, and hence the…

We study maps of the unit interval whose graph is made up of two increasing segments and which are injective in an extended sense. Such maps $f_{\p}$ are parametrized by a quintuple $\p$ of real numbers satisfying inequations. Viewing…

The parameter dependence of the rotation number in families of circle maps which are perturbations of rational rotations is described. We show that if, at a critical parameter value, the map is a (rigid) rotation $x\to x+\frac{p}{q}~({\rm…

A family f_1,...,f_n of operators on a complete metric space X is called contractive if there exists lambda < 1 such that for any x,y in X we have d(f_i(x),f_i(y)) leq lambda d(x,y) for some i. Stein conjectured that for any contractive…

For a real number $0<\lambda<2$, we introduce a transformation $T_\lambda$ naturally associated to expansion in $\lambda$-continued fraction, for which we also give a geometrical interpretation. The symbolic coding of the orbits of…

Let $I=[0,1)$, $-1<\lambda<1$ and $f\colon I\to I$ be a piecewise $\lambda$-affine map of the interval $I$, i.e., there exist a partition $0=a_0<a_1<\cdots< a_{k-1}<a_k=1$ of the interval $I$ into $k\geq2$ subintervals and $b_1,\ldots,…

The present work focuses on the study of the renowned Collatz conjecture, also known as the $3x +1$ problem. The distinguished analysis approach lies on the dynamics of an iterative map in binary form. A new estimation of the enlargement of…

We study the rational dynamics of the map $\mathcal{T}(x)=\lfloor x\rfloor(1+\{x\})$, which appears in the recursive construction of the prime-representing constant of Fridman, Garbulsky, Glecer, Grime and Florentin. For a rational number…

We study the asymptotic dynamics of maps which are piecewise contracting on a compact space. These maps are Lipschitz continuous, with Lipschitz constant smaller than one, when restricted to any piece of a finite and dense union of disjoint…

We show how the small perturbations of a linear cocycle have a relative rotation number associated with an invariant measure of the base dynamics an with a $2$-dimensional bundle of the finest dominated splitting (provided that some…

We describe a family $\phi_{\lambda}$ of dynamical systems on the unit interval which preserve Bernoulli convolutions. We show that if there are parameter ranges for which these systems are piecewise convex, then the corresponding Bernoulli…

We study the set of periods of degree 1 continuous maps from sigma into itself, where sigma denotes the space shaped like the letter sigma (i.e., a segment attached to a circle by one of its endpoints). Since the maps under consideration…

We study the topological dynamics by iterations of a piecewise continuous, non linear and locally contractive map in a real finite dimensional compact ball. We consider those maps satisfying the "separation property": different continuity…

We study the complexity of the itineraries of injective piecewise contracting maps on the interval. We prove that for any such map the complexity function of any itinerary is eventually affine. We also prove that the growth rate of the…

The Collatz conjecture (also known as the $3x+1$ problem) concerns the behavior of the discrete dynamical system on the positive integers defined by iteration of the so-called $3x + 1$ function. We investigate analogous dynamical systems in…

A rotational set is a finite subset $A$ of the unit circle $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}/ \mathbb{Z}$ such that the angle-multiplying map $\sigma_{d}:t\mapsto dt$ maps $A$ onto itself by a cyclic permutation of its elements. Each rotational set…

This is a conitunation of [1] and [2]. We prove that if function $f$ belongs to the class $\Lambda_{\omega} \overset{\text{def}}{=} \{f: \omega_{f}(\delta)\leq \text{const} \omega(\delta)\} $ for an arbitrary modulus of continuity $\omega$,…
