We associate to any dynamical system with finitely many periodic orbits of each length a collection of possible time-changes of the sequence of periodic point counts that preserve the property of counting periodic points. Intersecting over…

We provide an example of how the complex dynamics of a recently introduced model can be understood via a detailed analysis of its associated Riemann surface. Thanks to this geometric description an explicit formula for the period of the…

We introduce the notion of almost realizability, an arithmetic generalization of realizability for integer sequences, which is the property of counting periodic points for some map. We characterize the intersection between the set of…

A sequence $a=(a_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ of non-negative integers is called realizable if there is a self-map $T:X\to X$ on a set $X$ such that $a_n$ is equal to the number of periodic points of $T$ in $X$ of (not necessarily exact) period $n$,…

In this paper we study a class of dynamical systems generated by iterations of multivariate polynomials and estimate the degreegrowth of these iterations. We use these estimates to bound exponential sums along the orbits of these dynamical…

While periodic responses of periodically forced dissipative nonlinear mechanical systems are commonly observed in experiments and numerics, their existence can rarely be concluded in rigorous mathematical terms. This lack of a priori…

Let $q$ be an odd prime power. Let $f\in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ be a polynomial having degree at least $2$, $a\in \mathbb{F}_q$, and denote by $f^n$ the $n$-th iteration of $f$. Let $\chi$ be the quadratic character of $\mathbb{F}_q$, and…

For measure preserving dynamical systems on metric spaces we study the time needed by a typical orbit to return back close to its starting point. We prove that when the decay of correlation is super-polynomial the recurrence rates and the…

The purpose of this paper is to extend the scope of the Ehrhart theory to periodic graphs. We give sufficient conditions for the growth sequences of periodic graphs to be a quasi-polynomial and to satisfy the reciprocity laws. Furthermore,…

We introduce and prove numerous new results about the orbits of the $T$-fractal billiard. Specifically, in Section 3, we give a variety of sufficient conditions for the existence of a sequence of compatible periodic orbits. In Section 4, we…

Consider a periodically forced nonlinear system which can be presented as a collection of smaller subsystems with pairwise interactions between them. Each subsystem is assumed to be a massive point moving with friction on a compact surface,…

Characterizing existence or not of periodic orbit is a classical problem and it has both theoretical importance and many real applications. Here, several new criterions on nonexistence of periodic orbits of the planar dynamical system $\dot…

By varying a parameter of a one-dimensional piecewise smooth map, stable periodic orbits are observed. In this paper, complete analytic characterization of these stable periodic orbits is obtained. An interesting relationship between the…

We derive the necessary and sufficient condition, for a given Polynomial Recurrence Sequence to converge to a given target rational K. By converge, we mean that the Nth term of the sequence, is equal to K, as N tends to positive infinity.…

We show that the dynamical degree of an (i.i.d) random sequence of dominant, rational self-maps on projective space is almost surely constant. We then apply this result to height growth and height counting problems in random orbits.

It is ``folklore'' that the solution to a set reachability problem for a dynamical system is only noncomputable because of non-robustness reasons. A robustness condition that can be imposed on a dynamical system is the requirement of the…

The numerical optimized shooting method for finding periodic orbits in nonlinear dynamical systems was employed to determine the existence of periodic orbits in the well-known R\"ossler system. By optimizing the period $T$ and the three…

Motivated by a question of van der Poorten about the existence of infinite chain of prime numbers (with respect to some base), in this paper we advance the study of sequences of consecutive polynomials whose coefficients are chosen…

We introduce a quantitative condition on orbits of dynamical systems which measures their aperiodicity. We show the existence of sequences in the Bernoulli-shift and geodesics on closed hyperbolic manifolds which are as aperiodic as…
