We study the scaling behavior of period doublings in two unidirectionally-coupled one-dimensional maps near a bicritical point where two critical lines of period-doubling transition to chaos in both subsystems meet. Note that the bicritical…

In this paper, we study asymptotic behavior arising in inverse limit spaces of dendrites. In particular, the inverse limit is constructed with a single unimodal bonding map, for which points have unique itineraries and the critical point is…

We prove that there exists a scrambled set for the Gauss map with full Hausdorff dimension. Meanwhile, we also investigate the topological properties of the sets of points with dense or non-dense orbits.

We show that there is a bijection between the renormalizations and proper completely invariant closed sets of expanding Lorenz map, which enable us to distinguish periodic and non-periodic renormalizations. Based on the properties of…

Reconnection processes of twin-chains are systematically studied in the quadratic twist map. By using the reversibility and symmetry of the mapping, the location of the indicator points is theoretically determined in the phase space. The…

For an infinitely renormalizable negative Schwarzian unimodal map $f$ with non-flat critical point, we analyze statistical properties of periodic points as the periods tend to infinity. Introducing a weight function $\varphi$ which is a…

Given $C^2$ infinitely renormalizable unimodal maps $f$ and $g$ with a quadratic critical point and the same bounded combinatorial type, we prove that they are $C^{1+\alpha}$ conjugate along the closure of the corresponding forward orbits…

We obtain stochastic stability of C2 non-uniformly expanding one-dimensional endomorphisms, requiring only that the first hyperbolic time map be L^{p}-integrable for p>3. We show that, under this condition (which depends only on the…

In this paper we study interval maps $f$ with zero topological entropy that are crooked; i.e. whose inverse limit with $f$ as the single bonding map is the pseudo-arc. We show that there are uncountably many pairwise non-conjugate zero…

We show that if the complexity difference function p(n+1)-p(n) of a infinite minimal shift is bounded, then the the automorphism group of the one-sided shift is finite, and the automorphism group of the corresponding two-sided shift "modulo…

In this work we report a new route to chaos from a resonance torus in a piecewise smooth non-invertible map of the plane into itself. The closed invariant curve defining the resonance torus is formed by the union of unstable manifolds of…

For any transitive piecewise monotonic map for which the set of periodic measures is dense in the set of ergodic invariant measures (such as monotonic mod one transformations and piecewise monotonic maps with two monotonic pieces), we show…

We study how to construct explicit deformations of generic smooth maps from closed $n$--dimensional manifolds $M$ with $n \geq 2$ to the $2$--sphere $S^2$ and show that every smooth map $M \to S^2$ is homotopic to a $C^\infty$ stable map…

This paper concerns the two-dimensional border-collision normal form -- a four-parameter family of piecewise-linear maps generalising the Lozi family and relevant to diverse applications. The normal form was recently shown to exhibit a…

We extend the renormalisation operator introduced in \cite{dCML} from period-doubling H\'enon-like maps to H\'enon-like maps with arbitrary stationary combinatorics. We show the renormalisation picture holds also holds in this case if the…

It is known that every homeomorphism of the plane has a fixed point in a non-separating, invariant subcontinuum. Easy examples show that a branched covering map of the plane can be periodic point free. In this paper we show that any…

Expanding Thurston maps were introduced by M. Bonk and D. Meyer with motivation from complex dynamics and Cannon's conjecture from geometric group theory via Sullivan's dictionary. In this paper, we show that the entropy map of an expanding…

We study periodicity conditions of a rational map on $\bm{C}^d$ with $p$ invariants and show that a set of isolated periodic points and an algebraic variety of finife dimension do not exist in one map simultaneously if $p\ge d/2$. We also…

A model that merges the Potts, cubic, and clock models is studied in spatial dimension d=3 by renormalization-group theory. Effective vacancies are included in the renormalization-group initial conditions. In the global phase diagram, 5…

We define a family of discontinuous maps on the circle, called Bowen-Series-like maps, for geometric presentations of surface groups. The family has $2N$ parameters, where $2N$ is the number of generators of the presentation. We prove that…
