A minimal Cantor system is said to be self-induced whenever it is conjugate to one of its induced systems. Substitution subshifts and some odometers are classical examples, and we show that these are the only examples in the equicontinuous…

In this article, we show that R.H. Bing's pseudo-circle admits a minimal non-invertible map. This resolves a problem raised by Bruin, Kolyada and Snoha in the negative. The main tool is the Denjoy-Rees technique, further developed by…

Deciding whether saddle points exist or are approximable for nonconvex-nonconcave problems is usually intractable. This paper takes a step towards understanding a broad class of nonconvex-nonconcave minimax problems that do remain…

For a finite alphabet $\mathcal{A}$ and a sequence $x \in \mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{N}}$, Kamae and Zamboni defined the maximal pattern complexity function $p^*_x(n)$ as a natural generalization of usual word complexity. They defined a…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers and $\O$ be its integral ring. The convergent power series with coefficients in $\O$ are studied as dynamical systems on $\O$. A minimal decomposition theorem for…

We prove the existence of minimal surfaces in a bounded convex subset of $\mathbb R^3$, $\mathcal M$, intersecting the boundary of $\mathcal M$ with a fixed contact angle. The proof is based on a min-max construction in the spirit of…

We pose the approximation problem for scalar nonnegative input-output systems via impulse response convolutions of finite order, i.e. finite order moving averages, based on repeated observations of input/output signal pairs. The problem is…

We show that a topological dynamical system is either minimal or have positive topological entropy. Moreover, for equicontinuous systems, we show that topological transitivity, minimality and orbit gluing property are equivalent. These…

In this note, we provide convergence results for the proximal point algorithm and a splitting variant thereof in the setting of CAT$(\kappa)$ spaces with $\kappa > 0$ using a recent definition for the resolvent of a convex, lower…

This is an expanded version of my plenary lecture at the 8th European Congress of Mathematics in Portoro\v{z} on 23 June 2021. The main part of the paper is a survey of recent applications of complex-analytic techniques to the theory of…

For an amenable minimal topologically free dynamical system $\alpha$ of a group on a compact metrizable space $Z$ and for a compact metrizable space $Y$ satisfying a mild condition, we construct a minimal skew product extension of $\alpha$…

Suppose $f(x,y) + \frac{\kappa}{2} \|x\|^2 - \frac{\sigma}{2}\|y\|^2$ is convex where $\sigma>0$, and the argmin function $\gamma(x) = \{ \gamma : \inf_y f(x,y) = f(x,\gamma)\}$ exists and is single valued. We will prove $\gamma$ is…

We introduce the notions of triviality and order-triviality for global invariant types in an arbitrary first-order theory and show that they are well behaved in the NIP context. We show that these two notions agree for invariant global…

We obtain the existence of radially symmetric and decreasing solutions to a general class of quasi-linear elliptic problems by a nonsmooth version of a symmetric minimax principle recently obtained by Jean Van Schaftingen.

We show that if the complexity difference function p(n+1)-p(n) of a infinite minimal shift is bounded, then the the automorphism group of the one-sided shift is finite, and the automorphism group of the corresponding two-sided shift "modulo…

We study existence of minimisers to the least gradient problem on a strictly convex domain in two settings. On a bounded domain, we allow the boundary data to be discontinuous and prove existence of minimisers in terms of the Hausdorff…

This paper exhibits a structural strategy to produce new minimal submanifolds in spheres based on two given ones. The method is to spin the given minimal submanifolds by a curve $\gamma\subset \mathbb S^3$ in a balanced way and leads to…

The homological scaffold leverages persistent homology to construct a topologically sound summary of a weighted network. However, its crucial dependency on the choice of representative cycles hinders the ability to trace back global…

We present two novel methods for approximating minimizers of the abstract Rayleigh quotient $\Phi(u)/ \|u\|^p$. Here $\Phi$ is a strictly convex functional on a Banach space with norm $\|\cdot\|$, and $\Phi$ is assumed to be positively…

We characterize the complexity functions of subshifts up to asymptotic equivalence. The complexity function of every aperiodic function is non-decreasing, submultiplicative and grows at least linearly. We prove that conversely, every…
