For maps of one complex variable, $f$, given as the sum of a degree $n$ power map and a degree $d$ polynomial, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions that the geometric limit as $n$ approaches infinity of the set of points that…
We study the discrete dynamics of standard (or left) polynomials $f(x)$ over division rings $D$. We define their fixed points to be the points $\lambda \in D$ for which $f^{\circ n}(\lambda)=\lambda$ for any $n \in \mathbb{N}$, where…
If $R$ is a rational map, the Main Result is a uniformization Theorem for the space of decompositions of the iterates of $R$. Secondly, we show that Fatou conjecture holds for decomposable rational maps.
A {\em connectivity function} on a set $E$ is a function $\lambda:2^E\rightarrow \mathbb R$ such that $\lambda(\emptyset)=0$, that $\lambda(X)=\lambda(E-X)$ for all $X\subseteq E$, and that $\lambda(X\cap Y)+\lambda(X\cup Y)\leq…
We study asymptotic dynamics in networks of coupled quadratic nodes. While single map complex quadratic iterations have been studied over the past century, considering ensembles of such functions, organized as coupled nodes in a network,…
A new variant of Newton's method - named Backtracking New Q-Newton's method (BNQN) - which has strong theoretical guarantee, is easy to implement, and has good experimental performance, was recently introduced by the third author.…
In this paper, we research more in depth properties of Backtracking New Q-Newton's method (recently designed by the third author), when used to find roots of meromorphic functions. If $f=P/Q$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials in 1 complex…
Iterating Newton's method symbolically for the general quadratic yields a rational function, the numerator and denominator of which are polynomials with highly composite coefficients.
A cubic polynomial $P$ with a non-repelling fixed point $b$ is said to be immediately renormalizable if there exists a (connected) QL invariant filled Julia set $K^*$ such that $b\in K^*$. In that case, exactly one critical point of $P$…
Let $P: {\mathbb C} \to {\mathbb C}$ be a polynomial map with disconnected filled Julia set $K_P$ and let $z_0$ be a repelling or parabolic periodic point of $P$. We show that if the connected component of $K_P$ containing $z_0$ is…
We study the dynamics of a parametric family of rational functions of odd degree, where each function is a generalized Blaschke product that maps the unit circle onto itself. The action of the Blaschke product restricted to the unit circle…
A result of Graber, Harris, and Starr shows that a rationally connected variety defined over the function field of a curve over the complex numbers always has a rational point. Similarly, a separably rationally connected variety over a…
Starting with a unit-preserving normal completely positive map L: M --> M acting on a von Neumann algebra - or more generally a dual operator system - we show that there is a unique reversible system \alpha: N --> N (i.e., a complete order…
Convergence of the classical Newton's method and its DSM version for solving operator equations $F(u)=h$ is proved without any smoothness assumptions on $F'(u)$. It is proved that every solvable equation $F(u)=f$ can be solved by Newton's…
In two-dimensional statistical physics, correlation functions of the O(N) and Potts models may be written as sums over configurations of non-intersecting loops. We define sums associated to a large class of combinatorial maps (also known as…
We present an iterative root finding method for harmonic mappings in the complex plane, which is a generalization of Newton's method for analytic functions. The complex formulation of the method allows an analysis in a complex variables…
In this paper we discuss the dynamical structure of the rational family $(f_t)$ given by $$f_t(z)=tz^{m}\Big(\frac{1-z}{1+z}\Big)^{n}\quad(m\ge 2,~t\ne 0).$$ Each map $f_t$ has two super-attracting immediate basins and two free critical…
Let $f(z,w)=(p(z),q(z,w))$ be a polynomial skew product such that the degrees of $p$ and $q$ are grater than or equal to $2$. Under one or two conditions, we prove that $f$ is conjugate to a monomial map on an invariant region near…
In this article, we study local zeta functions over non-Archimedean locals fields of arbitrary characteristic attached to rational functions and characters $\chi$ of the units of the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_{K}$, by using an approach…
We give a new proof of the result that if f and g are transcendental entire functions, then the composite function f(g) has infinitely many fixed points. The method yields a number of generalization of this result. In particular, it extends…
