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…

We obtain sharp bounds for the number of n-cycles in a finite graph as a function of the number of edges, and prove that the complete graph is optimal in more ways than could be imagined. En route, we prove some sharp estimates on power…

Given $n$ non-vertical lines in 3-space, their vertical depth (above/below) relation can contain cycles. We show that the lines can be cut into $O(n^{3/2}\mathop{\mathrm{polylog}} n)$ pieces, such that the depth relation among these pieces…

For flows, the singular cycles connecting saddle periodic orbit and saddle equilibrium can poten- tially result in the so-called singular horseshoe, which means the existence of a non-uniformly hyperbolic chaotic invariant set. However, it…

We study limit cycles of nonlinear oscillators described by the equation $\ddot x + \nu F(\dot x) + x =0$. Depending on the nonlinearity this equation may exhibit different number of limit cycles. We show that limit cycles correspond to…

In this paper we study planar hybrid systems composed by two stable linear systems, defined by Hurwitz matrices, in addition with a jump that can be a piecewise linear, a polynomial or an analytic function. We provide an explicit analytic…

Cima, Ma\~{n}osas and Villadelprat (J. Differ. Equations, 157, 373--413, 1999) proved that a cubic Hamiltonian system possesses an isochronous center at the origin if and only if its Hamiltonian function can be expressed as…

We investigate the stabilizability of discrete-time linear switched systems, when the sole control action of the controller is the switching signal, and when the controller has access to the state of the system in real time. Despite their…

The cycle set of a graph $G$ is the set consisting of all sizes of cycles in $G$. Answering a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Faudree, Verstra\"{e}te showed that there are at most $2^{n - n^{1/10}}$ different cycle sets of graphs with $n$…
