We study periodic wind-tree models, unbounded planar billiards with periodically located rectangular obstacles. For a class of rational parameters we show the existence of completely periodic directions, and recurrence; for another class of…
In the inverse limit ${\hat{I}}_s$ of a tent map $f_s$ restricted to its core, the set $\mathcal{GR}$ of points whose path components are bi-infinite and bi-dense has full measure with respect to the measure induced on $\hat{I}_s$ by the…
This paper belongs to a series of papers devoted to the study of the structure of the non-wandering set of an A-diffeomorphism. We study such set $NW(f)$ for an $\Omega$-stable diffeomorphism $f$, given on a closed connected 3-manifold…
We establish an equivalence between infinitely many asymptotically stable periodic solutions and subsumed homoclinic connections for $N$-dimensional piecewise-linear continuous maps. These features arise as a codimension-three phenomenon.…
In this paper, we generalize the existence result in [14] and prove convergence theorems of the iterative scheme in [12, 16] for monotone generalized alpa-nonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex partially ordered hyperbolic metric spaces.…
This paper provides a fixed point theorem for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex hyperbolic spaces as well as new effective results on the Krasnoselski-Mann iterations of such mappings. The latter were found using…
In this work, we consider a class of $n$-dimensional, $n\geq2$, piecewise linear discontinuous maps that can exhibit a new type of attractor, called a weird quasiperiodic attractor. While the dynamics associated with these attractors may…
Let f be a dominant rational map of P^k such that there exists s <k, with lambda_s(f)>lambda_l(f) for all l. Under mild hypotheses, we show that, for A outside a pluripolar set of the group of automorphisms of P^k, the map f o A admits a…
A family of discontinuous symplectic maps on the cylinder is considered. This family arises naturally in the study of nonsmooth Hamiltonian dynamics and in switched Hamiltonian systems. The transformation depends on two parameters and is a…
Consider the self-map F of the space of real-valued test functions on the line which takes a test function f to the test function sending a real number x to f(f(x))-f(0). We show that F is discontinuous, although its restriction to the…
According to the work of Dennis Sullivan, there exists a smooth flow on the 5-sphere all of whose orbits are periodic although there is no uniform bound on their periods. The question addressed in this article is whether these type of…
We prove that generically in $\text{Diff}^{1}_{m}(M)$, if an expanding $f$-invariant foliation $W$ of dimension $u$ is minimal and there is a periodic point of unstable index $u$, the foliation is stably minimal. By this we mean there is a…
Let $T$ be a competitive map on a rectangular region $\mathcal{R}\subset \mathbb{R}^2$, and assume $T$ is $C^1$ in a neighborhood of a fixed point $\bar{\rm x}\in \mathcal{R}$. The main results of this paper give conditions on $T$ that…
We study random dynamical systems generated by volume-preserving piecewise $C^{1}$ maps. For this class of systems, we establish an invariance principle stating that if all Lyapunov exponents vanish, then there exists a measurable family of…
Let $f: [0, +\infty) \to (0, +\infty)$ be a sufficiently smooth convex function, vanishing at infinity. Consider the planar domain $Q$ delimited by the positive $x$-semiaxis, the positive $y$-semiaxis, and the graph of $f$. Under certain…
We show that surface groups are flexibly stable in permutations. This is the first non-trivial example of a non-amenable flexibly stable group. Our method is purely geometric and relies on an analysis of branched covers of hyperbolic…
We study transcendental singularities of a Schr\"oder map arising from a rational function $f$, using results from complex dynamics and Nevanlinna theory. These maps are transcendental meromorphic functions of finite order in the complex…
We give examples of rank one compact surfaces on which there exist recurrent geodesics that cannot be shadowed by periodic geodesics. We build rank one compact surfaces such that ergodic measures on the unit tangent bundle of the surface…
Let $f:M\to M$ be a $C^1$ map of a compact manifold $M$, with dimension at least $2$, admitting some point whose future trajectory has only negative Lyapunov exponents. Then this trajectory converges to a periodic sink. We need only assume…
For piecewise-linear maps the stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic periodic solutions are themselves piecewise-linear. Hence compact subsets of these manifolds can be represented using polytopes (i.e. polygons, in the case of…
