In this thesis we consider a discretization of the Euler top given by Hirota und Kimura. Using the geometric description of the conserved quantities as quadrics in real 3-space, we find that there exist maps on rulings of quadrics in the…
An iterative square root of a function $f$ is a function $g$ such that $g(g(\cdot))=f(\cdot)$. We obtain new characterizations for detecting the non-existence of such square roots for self-maps on arbitrary sets. This is used to prove that…
The bulk macroscopic response of a system of particles or inclusions with field-induced forces is studied. The susceptibilities and transport coefficients in such a system are expressed as averages of a multiple scattering expansion. A…
We continue the study of straightening maps for the family of polynomials of degree $d \ge 3$. The notion of straightening map is originally introduced by Douady and Hubbard to study relationship between polynomial-like renormalizations and…
Smooth real cubic surfaces are birationally trivial (over $\R$) if and only if their real locus is connected or, equivalently, if and only if they have two skew real lines or two skew complex conjugate lines. In such a case a…
This note contains a solution to the following problem: reconstruct the definition field and the equation of a projective cubic surface, using only combinatorial information about the set of its rational points. This information is encoded…
Let f be a generic polynomial mapping mapping from the plane to the plane. There are constructed quadratic forms whose signatures determine the number of positive and negative cusps of f.
We analyse uniform random cubic rooted planar maps and obtain limiting distributions for several parameters of interest. From the enumerative point of view, we present a unified approach for the enumeration of several classes of cubic…
This paper studies the behavior under iteration of the maps T_{ab}(x,y)=(F_{ab}(x)-y,x) of the plane R^2, in which F_{ab}(x)=ax if x>=0 and bx if x<0. The orbits under iteration correspond to solutions of the nonlinear difference equation…
We define and investigate a new three-parameter family of graphs that further generalizes the Fibonacci and metallic cubes. Namely, the number of vertices in this family of graphs satisfies Horadam recurrence, a linear recurrence of second…
Overparameterized shallow neural networks admit substantial parameter redundancy: distinct parameter vectors may represent the same predictor due to hidden-unit permutations, rescalings, and related symmetries. As a result, geometric…
The aim of the paper is three-fold. We begin by proving a formula, both global and local versions, relating the number of periodic orbits of an iterated map and the Lefschetz numbers, or indices in the local case, of its iterations. This…
In this work we study, in greater detail than before, J.H. Conway's topographs for integral binary quadratic forms. These are trees in the plane with regions labeled by integers following a simple pattern. Each topograph can display the…
We investigate graph-directed iterated function systems in mixed Euclidean and p-adic spaces. Hausdorff measure and Hausdorff dimension in such spaces are defined, and an upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension is obtained. The relation…
Symbolic dynamics is a coarse-grained description of dynamics. By taking into account the ``geometry'' of the dynamics, it can be cast into a powerful tool for practitioners in nonlinear science. Detailed symbolic dynamics can be developed…
The action of ring automorphisms of the polynomial ring in two variables over the real numbers on real plane curves is considered. The orbits containing degree-three polynomials are computed, with one representative per orbit being…
Metro or transit maps, are schematic representations of transit networks to facilitate effective route-finding. These maps are often advertised on a web page or pamphlet highlighting routes from source to destination stations. To visually…
In the early 1980's Thurston gave a topological characterization of rational maps whose critical points have finite iterated orbits (\cite{Th,DH1}): given a topological branched covering $F$ of the two sphere with finite critical orbits, if…
In rotations with a binary symbolic dynamics, a critical curve is the locus of parameters for which the boundaries of the partition that defines the symbolic dynamics are connected via a prescribed number of iterations and symbolic…
The use of quadratic residues to construct matrices with specific determinant values is a familiar problem with connections to many areas of mathematics and statistics. Our research has focused on using cubic residues to construct matrices…
