The 3x+1 function T is defined on the positive integers by $T(x) = \frac{3x+1}{2}$ for x odd and $T(x) = \frac{x}{2}$ for x even. The function T has a natural extension to the 2-adic integers, and there is a continuous function $\Phi$ which…
A class of determinants is introduced. Different kind of mathematical objects, such as Fibonacci, Lucas, Tchebychev, Hermite, Laguerre, Legendre polynomials, sums and covergents are represented as determinants from this class. A closed…
In this article, we define a very important sequence of functions, all the functions of this sequence present behaviors very close to that of the Collatz function. The study of such functions allows us to obtain very interesting results…
In this study, we investigate the form of solutions, stability character and asymptotic behavior of the following rational difference equation x_{n+1}=({\gamma}/(x_{n}(x_{n-1}+{\alpha})+\b{eta})), n=0,1,..., where the inital values x_{-1}…
In this paper we give a complete characterization of those knotted toroidal sets that can be realized as attractors for both discrete and continuous dynamical systems globally defined in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We also see that the techniques used…
We determine the conditions for the existence or not of cycles for several families of generalized 3x + 1 mappings and develop a method to find them.
We study variants of the well-known Collatz graph, by considering the action of the 3n+1 function on congruence classes. For moduli equal to powers of 2, these graphs are shown to be isomorphic to binary De Bruijn graphs. Unlike the Collatz…
The famous Hadwiger theorem classifies all rigid motion invariant continuous valuations on convex sets as linear conbinations of quermassintegrals. We prove much more general result. We classify continuous valuations which are invariant…
This paper aims to present an elaborate view on the motivation and realization of the idea to extend Maxwell's electrodynamics to Extended Electrodynamics in a reasonable and appropriate way in order to make it possible to describe…
We discuss conjectures related to the following two conjectures: (1) for each complex numbers x_1,...,x_n there exist rationals y_1,...,y_n \in [-2^{n-1},2^{n-1}] such that \forall i \in {1,...,n} (x_i=1 \Rightarrow y_i=1) \forall i,j,k \in…
In this paper we propose some continuation theorems for the periodic problem \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \, x_{i}' = g_{i}(t,x_{i+1}), &i=1,\ldots,n-1, \\ \, x_{n}' = h(t,x_{1},\ldots,x_{n}), \\ \, x_{i}(0)=x_{i}(T), &i=1,\ldots,n,…
A well-known conjecture of Orlov asks whether the existence of a full exceptional collection implies rationality of the underlying variety. We prove this conjecture for arithmetic toric varieties over general fields. We also investigate a…
The purpose of this review is to describe in some detail the mathematical relationship between geometrodynamics and connection dynamics in the context of the classical theories of 2+1 and 3+1 gravity. I analyze the standard Einstein-Hilbert…
New (infinitely many) rational approximants to \zeta(3) proving its irrationality are given. The recurrence relations for the numerator and denominator of these approximants as well as their continued fraction expansions are obtained. A…
We study the continuity of pullback and uniform attractors for non-autonomous dynamical systems with respect to perturbations of a parameter. Consider a family of dynamical systems parameterised by a complete metric space $\Lambda$ such…
We study constant roll inflation systematically. This is a regime, in which the slow roll approximation can be violated. It has long been thought that this approximation is necessary for agreement with observations. However, recently it was…
Sequences of rational powers \left( \xi\left( \frac{p}{q} \right)^{n} \right)_{n\ge 0}, especially in the case \frac{p}{q}=\frac{3}{2}, have a connection with many important combinatorics and number theory problems as for example Syracuse,…
A broad range of nonlinear processes over networks are governed by threshold dynamics. So far, existing mathematical theory characterizing the behavior of such systems has largely been concerned with the case where the thresholds are…
We discuss some examples that illustrate the countability of the positive rational numbers and related sets. Techniques include radix representations, Godel numbering, the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, continued fractions, Egyptian…
Quantum field theories in front-form dynamics are not manifestly rotationally invariant. We study a model bound-state equation in 3+1 dimensional front-form dynamics, which was shown earlier to reproduce the Bohr and hyperfine structure of…
