The central purpose of this article is to establish new inverse and implicit function theorems for differentiable maps with isolated critical points. One of the key ingredients is a discovery of the fact that differentiable maps with…
This note is a survey of examples and results about cellular automata with the purpose of recalling that there is no 'universal' way of being computationally universal. In particular, we show how some cellular automata can embed efficient…
Symbolic dynamics is partly the study of walks in a directed graph. By a walk, here we mean a morphism to the graph from the Cayley graph of the monoid of non-negative integers. Sets of these walks are also important in other areas, such as…
A map on finitely many fermionic modes represents a unitary evolution if and only if it preserves canonical anti-commutation relations. We use this condition for the classification of fermionic cellu- lar automata (FCA) on Cayley graphs of…
The main purpose of this paper is to define dynamical degrees for rational maps over an algebraic closed field of characteristic zero and prove some basic properties (such as log-concavity) and give some applications. We also define…
Probabilistic cellular automata are prototypes of non equilibrium critical phenomena. This class of models includes among others the directed percolation problem (Domany Kinzel model) and the dynamical Ising model. The critical properties…
Experiments observing the liquid surface in a vertically oscillating container have indicated that modeling the dynamics of such systems require maps that admit states at infinity. In this paper we investigate the bifurcations in such a…
In programming language semantics, it has proved to be fruitful to analyze context-dependent notions of computation, e.g., dataflow computation and attribute grammars, using comonads. We explore the viability and value of similar modeling…
Cellular automata have been useful artificial models for exploring how relatively simple rules combined with spatial memory can give rise to complex emergent patterns. Moreover, studying the dynamics of how rules emerge under artificial…
Diam-mean equicontinuity is a dynamical property that has been of use in the study of non-periodic order. Using some type of "local" skew product between a shift and an odometer looking cellular automaton (CA), we will show there exists an…
A dynamical map is a map which takes one density operator to another. Such a map can be written in an operator-sum representation (OSR) using a spectral decomposition. The method of the construction applies to more general maps which need…
Since 1984, many authors have studied the dynamics of maps of the form $\mathcal{E}_a(z) = e^z - a$, with $a > 1$. It is now well-known that the Julia set of such a map has an intricate topological structure known as a Cantor bouquet, and…
We prove several results about the relations between injectivity and surjectivity for sand automata. Moreover, we begin the exploration of the dynamical behavior of sand automata proving that the property of nilpotency is undecidable. We…
Group cellular automata are continuous, shift-commuting endomorphisms of $G^\mathbb{Z}$, where $G$ is a finite group. We provide an easy-to-check characterization of expansivity for group cellular automata on abelian groups and we prove…
This paper is concerned with realizing Lattes maps as subdivision maps of finite subdivision rules. The main result is that the Lattes maps in all but finitely many analytic conjugacy classes can be realized as subdivision maps of finite…
We give characterizations of unital uniform topological algebras and saturated locally multiplicatively convex algebras by means of multiplicative linear functionals. Some automatic continuity theorems in advertibly complete uniform…
Let D be a connected component of a reductive group over an algebraically closed field. We define a surjective map from the unipotent character sheaves on D to the set of strata of D, extending an earlier result which applied to connected…
Let L:=Z^D be a D-dimensional lattice. Let A^L be the Cantor space of L-indexed configurations in a finite alphabet A, with the natural L-action by shifts. A `cellular automaton' is a continuous, shift-commuting self-map F:A^L-->A^L. An…
Using FSA and the construction algorithm, we generated a list of surjective span 6 cellular automata as a modest sample for our FDense program. We wanted to experimentally quantify Mike Boyle's conjecture which states that the jointly…
We consider characterisations of unitary dilations and approximations of irreversible classical dynamical systems on a Hilbert space. In the commutative case, building on the work in [9], one can express well known approximants (e.g. Hille-…
