In this paper we study the properties of the periodic orbits of \"x + V'_x(t, x) = 0 with x \in S1 and V(t, x) a T0 periodic potential. Called {\rho} \in (1/T0)Q the frequency of windings of an orbit in S1 we show that exists an infinite…

The Collatz function is defined as C(n) = n / 2 if n is even and C(n) = 3n + 1 if n is odd. The Collatz conjecture states that every sequence generated by the Collatz function ends with the cycle (4, 2, 1) after a finite number of…

Coupled map lattices have been widely used as models in several fields of physics, such as chaotic strings, turbulence, and phase transitions, as well as in other disciplines, such as biology (ecology, evolution) and information processing.…

In this work, applying general results from averaging theory, we find periodic orbits for a class of Hamiltonian systems $H$ whose potential models the motion of elliptic galaxies.

We study the ergodic and statistical properties of a class of maps of the circle and of the interval of Lorenz type which present indifferent fixed points and points with unbounded derivative. These maps have been previously investigated in…

In this paper a new conjecture equivalent to Collatz conjecture is presented. In particural, showing that (all) the solution(s) of newly introduced iterative functional equation(s) have a given property is equivalent to prove Collatz…

In this work, we relate the geometry of chaotic attractors of typical analytic unimodal maps to the behavior of the critical orbit. Our main result is an explicit formula relating the combinatorics of the critical orbit with the exponents…

We consider the ergodic theory of plane rational maps that preserve the natural holomorphic volume form on the algebraic torus. Specifically we construct natural invariant probability measures for a large class of such maps by intersecting…

We study eigenvalues along periodic cycles of post-critically finite endomorphisms of $\mathbb{CP}^n$ in higher dimension. It is a classical result when $n = 1$ that those values are either $0$ or of modulus strictly bigger than $1$. It has…

The fundamental correspondence between quantum chaotic single-particle systems and random matrix theory is well-understood via periodic orbit theory. In contrast, we show that many-body systems with explicit subsystem structure possess…

By definition, a map quasiperiodic on a set $X$ if the map is conjugate to a pure rotation. Suppose we have a trajectory $(x_n)$ that we suspect is quasiperiodic. How do we determine if it is? In this paper we show how to compute the…

Using $p$-adic numbers, we partially categorize the cycles of a sizable class of polynomial dynamical systems. In turn, we prove a few results related to the non-trivial cycles of the $\textit{Collatz map}$ $\text{Col} : \mathbb{Z}_+ \to…
