We consider a class of simple one parameter families of interval maps, and we study how metric (resp. topological) entropy changes as the parameter varies. We show that in many cases the entropy displays a semi-regular behaviour, i.e. it is…

We formulate and study analytically and computationally two families of piecewise linear degree one circle maps. These families offer the rare advantage of being non-trivial but essentially solvable models for the phenomenon of mode-locking…

We consider some classes of piecewise expanding maps in finite dimensional spaces having invariant probability measures which are absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure. We derive an entropy formula for such measures and,…

A numerical algorithm to compute the topological entropy of multimodal maps is proposed. This algorithm results from a closed formula containing the so-called min-max symbols, which are closely related to the kneading symbols. Furthermore,…

We consider the family of piecewise linear maps $F(x,y)=\left(|x| - y + a, x - |y| + b\right),$ where $(a,b)\in \R^2$. In previous work, we identified a novel phenomenon: certain maps of this class possess one-dimensional invariant sets,…

Let f(x) be a polynomial with integer coefficients, let n be a positive integer, and let p be an odd prime. Then the mapping x-->f(x) sends Z/p^n into Z/p^n. We study the topological structure of this mapping.

Let $f$ be a piecewise continuous and monotonic map on the interval with at most finitely many discontinuities and turning points. In this paper we study properties about this class of maps and show its main difference from the continuous…

The topological entropy of piecewise affine maps is studied. It is shown that singularities may contribute to the entropy only if there is angular expansion and we bound the entropy via the expansion rates of the map. As a corollary we…

This article presents a theoretical investigation of generalized encoded forms of networks in a uniform multidimensional space. First, we study encoded networks with (finite) arbitrary node dimensions (or aspects), such as time instants or…

In this note we consider a collection C of one parameter families of unimodal maps of [0,1]. Each family in the collection has the form uf where u is in [0,1]. Denoting the kneading sequence of uf by K(uf), we will prove that for each…

We present a method for computing the topological entropy of one-dimensional maps. As an approximation scheme, the algorithm converges rapidly and provides both upper and lower bounds.

Let $f : X\to X$ be a dominating meromorphic map on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ of dimension $k$. We extend the notion of topological entropy $h^l_{\mathrm{top}}(f)$ for the action of $f$ on (local) analytic sets of dimension $0\leq l…

We derive an algorithm to determine recursively the lap number (minimal number of monotone pieces) of the iterates of unimodal maps of an interval with free end-points. The algorithm is obtained by the sign analysis of the itineraries of…

Criteria for piecewise linear circle homeomorphisms to be conjugate to a rigid rotation, $x\to x+\omega~({\rm mod}~1)$, with rational rotation number $\omega$ are given. The consequences of the existence of such maps in families of maps is…

We consider a class $\mathcal{F}$ of Markov multi-maps on the unit interval. Any multi-map gives rise to a space of trajectories, which is a closed, shift-invariant subset of $[0,1]^{\mathbb{Z}_+}$. For a multi-map in $\mathcal{F}$, we show…

We study the logistic map $f(x)=\lambda x(1-x)$ on the unit square at the chaos threshold. By using the methods of symbolic dynamics, the information content of an orbit of a dynamical system is defined as the Algorithmic Information…

The heterochaos baker maps are piecewise affine maps of the unit square or cube introduced in [Nonlinearity 34, 2021, 5744--5761], to provide a hands-on, elementary understanding of complicated phenomena in systems of large degrees of…

In this paper we present a uniform way to derive families of maps from the corresponding differential equations describing systems which experience periodic kicks. The families depend on a single parameter - the order of a differential…

We consider Milnor's "tower algorithm" in the space of piecewise monotone maps, an iterative algorithm on the space of metrics which unifies, on the one hand, Thurston's iterative scheme which converges to holomorphic models, and, on the…

We prove that a large class of expanding maps of the unit interval with a $C^2$-regular indifferent point in 0 and full increasing branches are global-local mixing. This class includes the standard Pomeau-Manneville maps $T(x) = x +…
