Consider two paths $f,g:[0;1]\to [0;1]^2$ on the unit square such that $f(0)=(0,0)$, $f(1)=(1,1)$, $g(0)=(0,1)$, $g(1)=(1,0)$, $f(0;1)\subseteq (0;1)^2$ and $g(0;1)\subseteq (0;1)^2$. By continuity of $f$ and $g$ there is a point of…

We study the existence of fixed points for continuous maps $f$ from an $n$-ball $X$ in $\mathbb R^n$ to $\mathbb R^n$ with $n\geq 1$. We show that $f$ has a fixed point if, for some absolute retract $Y\subset\partial X$, $f(Y)\subset X$ and…

We prove that, for every plane graph $G$ and every smooth convex curve $C$ not on a single line, there exists a straight-line drawing of $G$ for which every face is crossed by $C$.

We show that if f: X --> Y is a finite, separable morphism of smooth curves defined over a finite field F_q, where q is larger than an explicit constant depending only on the degree of f and the genus of X, then f maps X(F_q) surjectively…

In this research paper, we provide a concise overview of fractal calculus applied to fractal sets. We introduce and solve a second $\alpha$-order fractal differential equation with constant coefficients across different scenarios. We…

In this paper we show that the piecewise linear map f(x) = px for x in [0,1/p], and sx-s/p for x in (1/p,1], p > 1, 0 < s < 1 which has an expanding, onto branch and a contracting branch is eventually piecewise expanding and exact.

We show that every planar, 4-connected, K2;5-minor- free graph is the square of a cycle of even length at least six.

We consider the set of all 2-step recurrences (difference equations) that are given by linear fractional maps. These give birational maps of the plane. We determine the degree growth of these birational maps. We find the all the maps in…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $E$ be a set in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. The distance set of $E$ is defined by $\Delta(E):=\{\lVert x-y \rVert :x,y\in E\}$, where $\lVert \alpha \rVert=\alpha_1^2+\dots+\alpha_d^2$. Iosevich,…

We show that a length scale xi can be extracted from the spatial correlations of the "steep cliffs" that appear on fracture surface. Above xi, the slope amplitudes are uncorrelated and the fracture surface is mono-affine. Below xi,…

Suppose that $F$ is a smooth and connected complex surface (not necessarily compact) containing a smooth rational curve with positive self-intersection. We prove that if there exists a non-constant meromorphic function on $F$, then the…

A map $\phi:M_m(\bC)\to M_n(\bC)$ is decomposable if it is of the form $\phi=\phi_1+\phi_2$ where $\phi_1$ is a CP map while $\phi_2$ is a co-CP map. It is known that if $m=n=2$ then every positive map is decomposable. Given an extremal…

Let G: C^n \times C^n -> C, G((x_1,...,x_n),(y_1,...,y_n))=(x_1-y_1)^2+...+ (x_n-y_n)^2. We say that f: R^n -> C^n preserves distance d>0 if for each x,y \in R^n G(x,y)=d^2 implies G(f(x),f(y))=d^2. Let A(n) denote the set of all positive…

The asymptotic behavior of open plane sections of triply periodic surfaces is dictated, for an open dense set of plane directions, by an integer second homology class of the three-torus. The dependence of this homology class on the…

We study the paths in the Farey graph going from (1,0) to (0,1) , or the finite subtrees of the Stern-Brocot tree . We show they form an operad and isolate the "coronas", which are especially spiked paths. We show that {(x,y), gcd(x,y)=1 ,…

In this short note, we prove that if $F$ is a weak upper semicontinuous admissible Finsler structure on a domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, then the intrinsic distance and differential structures coincide.

We give a new proof of the fact that every planar graph is 5-choosable, and use it to show that every graph drawn in the plane so that the distance between every pair of crossings is at least 15 is 5-choosable. At the same time we may allow…

We show that on any Riemannian surface for each $0<c<\infty$ there exists an immersed $C^{1,1}$ curve that is smooth and with curvature equal to $\pm c$ away from a point. We give examples showing that, in general, the regularity of the…

Given an $n$-vertex graph and two straight-line planar drawings of the graph that have the same faces and the same outer face, we show that there is a morph (i.e., a continuous transformation) between the two drawings that preserves…

The fractal structure of directed percolation clusters, grown at the percolation threshold inside parabolic-like systems, is studied in two dimensions via Monte Carlo simulations. With a free surface at y=\pm Cx^k and a dynamical exponent…
