We investigate the statistical properties of a piecewise smooth dynamical system by studying directly the action of the transfer operator on appropriate spaces of distributions. We accomplish such a program in the case of two-dimensional…
In this chapter, we are concerned with inverse optimal control problems, i.e., optimization models which are used to identify parameters in optimal control problems from given measurements. Here, we focus on linear-quadratic optimal control…
One proves that the linear and semilinear stochastic parabolic equations with a multiplicative noise with a finite number of modes are exactly null controllable.
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…
The goal of this paper is to discuss about the hyperbolicity of the non-wandering set $\mathcal{NW}(f_c)$ of real quadratic function $f_c(x)=x^2+c$ when $c\in (-\infty, -2]$. Even though the results we present here are not new, it is not…
We study a class of square matrices with non-negative elements which have cyclically monotone rows in the sense that each row of a matrix from the class consists of a cyclically non-increasing sequence of numbers starting from a maximal…
Given an endomorphism u of a finite-dimensional vector space over an arbitrary field K, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a regular quadratic form (resp. a symplectic form) for which u is orthogonal (resp.…
We develop a family of reformulations of an arbitrary consistent linear system into a stochastic problem. The reformulations are governed by two user-defined parameters: a positive definite matrix defining a norm, and an arbitrary discrete…
We study the dynamics of the renormalization operator acting on the space of pairs (v,t), where v is a diffeomorphism and t belongs to [0,1], interpreted as unimodal maps x-->v(q_t(x)), where q_t(x)=-2t|x|^a+2t-1. We prove the so called…
In this paper, we clarify a serious misinterpretation and consequent misuse of the Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC), which also can be served as a mini review of PMC. We emphasize that the purpose of the PMC is to achieve precise…
A particular choice of renormalization, within the simplifications provided by the non-perturbative property of Effective Locality, leads to a completely finite, renormalized theory of QCD, in which all correlation functions can, in…
We consider degenerate and singular parabolic equations with $p$-Laplacian structure in bounded nonsmooth domains when the right-hand side is a signed Radon measure with finite total mass. We develop a new tool that allows global regularity…
A map is given showing that convolutions of independent random variables over a finite group and matrix multiplications of doubly stochastic matrices are homomorphic. As an application, a short proof is given to the theorem that the…
We study a new generalized version of the point pair function defined with a constant $\alpha>0$. We prove that this function is a quasi-metric for all values of $\alpha>0$, and compare it to several hyperbolic-type metrics, such as the…
We prove that non-hyperbolic non-renormalizable quadratic polynomials are expansion inducing. For renormalizable polynomials a counterpart of this statement is that in the case of unbounded combinatorics renormalized mappings become almost…
Inou and Shishikura provided a class of maps that is invariant by near-parabolic renormalization, and that has proved extremely useful in the study of the dynamics of quadratic polynomials. We provide here another construction, using more…
According to Sullivan, a space ${\cal E}$ of unimodal maps with the same combinatorics (modulo smooth conjugacy) should be treated as an infinitely-dimensional Teichm\"{u}ller space. This is a basic idea in Sullivan's approach to the…
It will be shown that the renormalization operator, acting on the space of smooth unimodal maps with critical exponent greater than 1, has periodic points of any combinatorial type.
Working with scalar field theories, we discuss choices of regulator that, inserted in the functional renormalization group equation, reproduce the results of dimensional regularization at one and two loops. The resulting flow equations can…
We prove a new Morse-Sard type theorem for the asymptotic critical values of semi-algebraic mappings and a new fibration theorem at infinity for $C^2$ mappings. We show the equivalence of three different types of regularity conditions which…
