We investigate the dynamics of maps of the real line whose behavior on an invariant interval is close to a rational rotation on the circle. We concentrate on a specific two-parameter family, describing the dynamics arising from models in…
For a class of $(N+1)$-dimensional systems of differential delay equations with a cyclic and monotone negative feedback structure, we construct a two-dimensional invariant manifold, on which phase curves spiral outward towards a bounding…
The notion of dynamically convex has been studied since it was introduced by Hofer, Wysocki and Zehnder. In particular, they showed that there muse exist a global surface of section of disk type binding a periodic orbit for the Reeb vector…
For piecewise-linear maps the stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic periodic solutions are themselves piecewise-linear. Hence compact subsets of these manifolds can be represented using polytopes (i.e. polygons, in the case of…
In geometric algebra, the rotation of a vector is described using rotors. Rotors are phasors where the imaginary number has been replaced by a oriented plane element of unit area called a unit bivector. The algebra in three dimensional…
We consider an infinite 3-dimensional elastic continuum whose material points experience no displacements, only rotations. This framework is a special case of the Cosserat theory of elasticity. Rotations of material points are described…
A recent "hidden symmetry" conjecture of B. Gin-ge Chen et al is resolved, concerning the dimension of the mechanical modes of a generic $2$-periodic triangulated surface $O$ in $R^3$ whose structure graph corresponds to a triangular tiling…
We study the spectral functional tr f(D+A) for a suitable function f, a self-adjoint operator D having compact resolvent, and a certain class of bounded self-adjoint operators A. Such functionals were introduce by Chamseddine and Connes in…
Friedland (1981) showed that for a nonnegative square matrix A, the spectral radius r(e^D A) is a log-convex functional over the real diagonal matrices D. He showed that for fully indecomposable A, log r(e^D A) is strictly convex over D_1,…
In this short note, we investigate some features of the space $\Inject{d}{m}$ of linear injective maps from $\bbR^d$ into $\bbR^m$; in particular, we discuss in detail its relationship with the Stiefel manifold $V_{m,d}$, viewed, in this…
In this paper, we introduce a quadratic stochastic operators on the set of all probability measures of a measurable space. We study the dynamics of the Lebesgue quadratic stochastic operator on the set of all Lebesgue measures of the set…
Contractions of Leibniz algebras and Courant algebroids by means of (1,1)-tensors are introduced and studied. An appropriate version of Nijenhuis tensors leads to natural deformations of Dirac structures and Lie bialgebroids. One recovers…
The periodic tiling conjecture asserts that any finite subset of a lattice $\mathbb{Z^d}$ which tiles that lattice by translations, in fact tiles periodically. We announce here a disproof of this conjecture for sufficiently large $d$, which…
In this paper we shall show that there exists a polynomial unimodal map f: [0,1] -> [0,1] which is 1) non-renormalizable(therefore for each x from a residual set, $\omega(x)$ is equal to an interval), 2) for which $\omega(c)$ is a Cantor…
In a recent work of Matteo Mio on compact quantitative equational theories (here compact means that all its consequences are derivable by means of finite proofs) convex algebras on the carrier set [0,1] whose operations are monotone and…
This paper is concerned with the asymptotic stability analysis of a one dimensional wave equation subject to a nonmonotone distributed damping. A well-posedness result is provided together with a precise characterization of the asymptotic…
Following the paper of K. Shimizu et al. (2011) we consider the Bonhoeffer-van der Pol oscillator with non-autonomous periodic perturbation. We show that the presence of mixed mode oscillations reported in that paper can be explained using…
We study magnetic geodesic flows invariant under rotations on the 2-sphere. The dynamical system is given by a generic pair of functions $(f,\Lambda)$ in one variable. Topology of the Liouville fibration of the given integrable system near…
In this note, we present recent progress on rigidity problems in one-dimensional complex dynamics, including the proof of Dynamical Andr\'e-Oort conjecture for curves and generic injectivity of multiplier spectrum. The proofs combine ideas…
In this paper, partly based on Zachos' PhD thesis, we show that the geodesic X-ray transform is stably invertible near infinity on a class of asymptotically conic manifolds which includes perturbations of Euclidean space. In particular…
