Recently continuous rational maps between real algebraic varieties have attracted the attention of several researchers. In this paper we continue the investigation of approximation properties of continuous rational maps with values in…

In this paper, we prove Smale's mean value conjecture by making use of quasiconformal deformations and holomorphic motions.

We prove Dual Smale's mean value conjecture for all odd polynomials with nonzero linear term. Precisely, if $P$ is an odd polynomial of degree $d\ge3$ with $P(0)=0$ and $P'(0)=1$, then there exists a critical point $\zeta$ of $P$ such that…

With any \emph{surjective rational map} $f: \mathbb{P}^n \dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ of the projective space we associate a numerical invariant (\emph{ML degree}) and compute it in terms of a naturally defined vector bundle $E_f…

Motivated by a dictionary between polynomials and finite Blaschke products, we study both Smale's mean value conjecture and its dual conjecture for finite Blaschke products in this paper. Our result on the dual conjecture for finite…

Some polynomials $P$ with rational coefficients give rise to well defined maps between cyclic groups, $\Z_q\longrightarrow\Z_r$, $x+q\Z\longmapsto P(x)+r\Z$. More generally, there are polynomials in several variables with tuples of rational…

A concept of multi-valued cognitive maps is introduced in this paper. The concept expands the fuzzy one. However, all variables and weights are not linearly ordered in the concept, but are only partially-ordered. Such an ap- proach allows…

The Shub-Smale Tau Conjecture is a hitherto unproven statement (on integer roots of polynomials) whose truth implies both a variant of $P\neq NP$ (for the BSS model over C) and the hardness of the permanent. We give alternative conjectures,…

In the finite dimensional case, mean-type mappings, their invariant means, relations between the uniqueness of invariant means and convergence of orbits of the mapping, are considered. In particular it is shown, that the uniqueness of an…

Jones conjectures the arboreal representation of a degree two rational map will have finite index in the full automorphism group of a binary rooted tree except under certain conditions. We prove a version of Jones' Conjecture for quadratic…

We give an analytic proof of the dual Smale's mean value conjecture in the case $n=7$.

We provide upper bounds for the cardinality of the value set of a polynomial map in several variables over a finite field. These bounds generalize earlier bounds for univariate polynomials.

We define and study when a polynomial mapping has a local or global time average. We conjecture that a polynomial f in the complex plane has a time average near a point z if and only if z is eventually mapped into a Siegel-disc of f. We…

Let $K$ be a number field and $f: \mathbb{P}^1 \to \mathbb{P}^1$ a rational map of degree $d \geq 2$ with at most $s$ places of bad reduction, where we include all archimedean places. We prove that there exists constants $c_1,c_2 > 0$,…

We provide new examples of integrable rational maps in four dimensions with two rational invariants, which have unexpected geometric properties, as for example orbits confined to non algebraic varieties, and fall outside classes studied by…

The dominant rational maps of finite degree from a fixed variety to varieties of general type, up to birational isomorphisms, form a finite set. This has been known as the Iitaka-Severi conjecture, and is nowdays an established result, in…

Shapley values, a game theoretic concept, has been one of the most popular tools for explaining Machine Learning (ML) models in recent years. Unfortunately, the two most common approaches, conditional and marginal, to calculating Shapley…

We study a generalization of conditional probability for arbitrary ordered vector spaces. A related problem is that of assigning a numerical value to one vector relative to another. We characterize the groups for which these generalized…

We consider an extremal problem for polynomials, which is dual to the well-known Smale mean value problem. We give a rough estimate depending only on the degree.

Real or complex polynomial mappings between affines spaces admitting a Lipschitz-trivial value are completely characterized.
