We prove a generalization of the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff theorem for the open annulus showing that if a homeomorphism satisfies a certain twist condition and the nonwandering set is connected, then there is a fixed point. Our main focus is the…

For X a finite subset of the circle and for 0 < r <= 1 fixed, consider the function f_r : X -> X which maps each point to the clockwise furthest element of X within angular distance less than 2 pi r. We study the discrete dynamical system…

For a continuous map on a topological graph containing a unique loop S, it is possible to define the degree and, for a map of degree 1, rotation numbers. It is known that the set of rotation numbers of points in S is a compact interval and…

We study the circle homeomorphisms extensions over a strictly ergodic homeomorphism. Under a very mild restriction, we show that the fibered rotation number is locally constant on an open and dense subset. In the complement of this set, we…

In this paper we answer positively a question of whether it is possible for a circle diffeomorphism with breaks to be smoothly conjugate to a rigid rotation in the case when its breaks are lying on pairwise distinct trajectories. An example…

We study proximal random dynamical systems of homeomorphisms of the circle without a common fixed point. We prove the existence of two random points that govern the behavior of the forward and backward orbits of the system. Assuming the…

We apply set-valued numerical methods to compute an accurate enclosure of the rotation number. The described algorithm is supplemented with a method of proving the existence of periodic points, which is used to check the rationality of the…

We prove some basic results for a dynamical system given by a piecewise linear and contractive map on the unit interval that takes two possible values at a point of discontinuity. We prove that there exists a universal limit cycle in the…

In this paper, we study Random Dynamical Systems (RDSs) of homeomorphisms on the circle without a finite orbit. We characterize the topological dynamics of the associated semigroup by identifying the existence of invariant sets which are…

It is well known that the rotation number of a circle homeomorphism defined by H. Poincar\'e allows to completely understand the dynamics of such a map from the topological point of view. In this paper, we collect some results concerning…

Let $f$ be a homeomorphism of the closed annulus $A$ isotopic to the identity, and let $X\subset {\rm Int}A$ be an $f$-invariant continuum which separates $A$ into two domains, the upper domain $U_+$ and the lower domain $U_-$. Fixing a…

Intermittent dynamics is characterized by long periods of different types of dynamical characteristics, for instance almost periodic dynamics alternated by chaotic dynamics. Critical intermittency is intermittent dynamics that can occur in…

We study dynamics and bifurcations of two-dimensional reversible maps having non-transversal heteroclinic cycles containing symmetric saddle periodic points. We consider one-parameter families of reversible maps unfolding generally the…

Graph maps that are homotopic to the identity and that permute the vertices are studied. Given a periodic point for such a map, a {\em rotation element} is defined in terms of the fundamental group. A number of results are proved about the…
