The dynamical properties, especially the symmetric orbits, of the 2-parameter family of circle maps called off-center reflection is studied.
Using experimental techniques, we study properties of the "circumcenter map", which, upon $n$ iterations sends an $n$-gon to a scaled and rotated copy of itself. We also explore the topology of area-expanding and area-contracting regions…
The analytical structure of some generalizations of the circle map is given. Also a generalization of off centre reflection is studied. The stability of Ito-Glass coupled map lattice is studied.
We derive, and discuss the properties of, a symplectic map for the dynamics of bodies on nearly parabolic orbits. The orbits are perturbed by a planet on a circular, coplanar orbit interior to the pericenter of the parabolic orbit. The map…
We study the topological dynamics by iterations of a piecewise continuous, non linear and locally contractive map in a real finite dimensional compact ball. We consider those maps satisfying the "separation property": different continuity…
Arrhythmias are potentially fatal disruptions to the normal heart rhythm, but their underlying dynamics is still poorly understood. Theoretical modeling is an important tool to fill this gap. Typical studies often employ detailed…
This paper explores the topologies of caustics observed in instruments that employ charged particles, such as electron and ion microscopes. These geometrical figures are studied here using catastrophe theory. The application of this…
We compare the divergence of orbits and the reversibility error for discrete time dynamical systems. These two quantities are used to explore the behavior of the global error induced by round off in the computation of orbits. The similarity…
We consider two stable heteroclinic cycles rotating in opposite directions, coupled via diffusive terms. A complete synchronization in this system is impossible, and numerical exploration shows that chaos is abundant at low levels of…
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…

Recurrence in the phase space of complex systems is a well-studied phenomenon, which has provided deep insights into the nonlinear dynamics of such systems. For dissipative systems, characteristics based on recurrence plots have recently…
Quantized, compact graphs were shown to be excellent paradigms for quantum chaos in bounded systems. Connecting them with leads to infinity we show that they display all the features which characterize scattering systems with an underlying…
We study independent and identically distributed random iterations of continuous maps defined on a connected closed subset $S$ of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{k}$. We assume the maps are monotone (with respect to a suitable partial…
The dynamics of one dimensional iterative maps in the regime of fully developed chaos is studied in detail. Motivated by the observation of dynamical structures around the unstable fixed point we introduce the geometrical concept of a…
We consider the electromagnetic field in a cavity with a periodically oscillating perfectly reflecting boundary and show that the mathematical theory of circle maps leads to several physical predictions. Notably, well-known results in the…
This work surveys the topological and statistical properties of real quadratic maps and investigates the complex quadratic maps under holomorphic and non-holomorphic singular perturbations.
Given a reflection group $G$ acting on a complex vector space $V$, a reflection map is the composition of an embedding $X \hookrightarrow V$ with the orbit map $V\to\mathbb C^p$ that maps a $G$-orbit to a point. Reflection maps can be very…
We study the dynamics of a family of replicator maps, depending on two parameters. Such studies are motivated by the analysis of the dynamics of evolutionary games under selections. From the dynamics viewpoint, we prove the existence of…
The paper considers a stabilizing stochastic control which can be applied to a variety of unstable and even chaotic maps. Compared to previous methods introducing control by noise, we relax assumptions on the class of maps, as well as…
