We describe all linear operators which maps $n-1$-dimensional simplex of idempotent measures to itself. Such operators divided to two classes: the first class contains all $n\times n$-matrices with non-negative entries which has at least…

In this paper, we consider a planar dynamical system with a piecewise linear function containing an arbitrary number (but finite) of dropping sections and approximating some continuous nonlinear function. Studying all possible local and…

We show cocycle stability for linear maps with a weak irreducibility condition and their jointly integrable perturbations.

We determine periodic and aperiodic points of certain piecewise affine maps in the Euclidean plane. Using these maps, we prove for $\lambda\in\{\frac{\pm1\pm\sqrt5}2,\pm\sqrt2,\pm\sqrt3\}$ that all integer sequences $(a_k)_{k\in\mathbb Z}$…

The operational semantics of interactive systems is usually described by labeled transition systems. Abstract semantics (that is defined in terms of bisimilarity) is characterized by the final morphism in some category of coalgebras. Since…

We study cubic rational maps that take lines to plane curves. A complete description of such cubic rational maps concludes the classification of all planarizations, i.e., maps taking lines to plane curves.

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…

Bifurcations in a system of coupled maps are investigated. Using symbolic dynamics it is proven that for coupled shift maps the well known space--time--mixing attractor becomes unstable at a critical coupling strength in favour of a…

The stable periodic orbits of an area-preserving map on the 2-torus, which is formally a variant of the Standard Map, have been shown to explain the quantum accelerator modes that were discovered in experiments with laser-cooled atoms. We…

In two-parameter bifurcation diagrams of piecewise-linear continuous maps on $\mathbb{R}^N$, mode-locking regions typically have points of zero width known as shrinking points. Near any shrinking point, but outside the associated…

The class of stochastic maps, that is, linear, trace-preserving, positive maps between the self-adjoint trace class operators of complex separable Hilbert spaces plays an important role in the representation of reversible dynamics and…

In this paper, we report the bifurcations of mode-locked periodic orbits occurring in maps of three or higher dimensions. The `torus' is represented by a closed loop in discrete time, which contains stable and unstable cycles of the same…

We study tilings of the plane composed of two repeating tiles of different assigned areas relative to an arbitrary periodic lattice. We classify isoperimetric configurations (i.e., configurations with minimal length of the interfaces) both…

The iteration of rational maps is well-understood in dimension 1 but less so in higher dimensions. We study some maps on spaces of matrices which present a weak complexity with respect to the ring structure. First we give some properties of…

Canonical orderings serve as the basis for many incremental planar drawing algorithms. All these techniques, however, have in common that they are limited to undirected graphs. While $st$-orderings do extend to directed graphs, especially…

We face the problem of characterizing the periodic cases in parametric families of (real or complex) rational diffeomorphisms having a fixed point. Our approach relies on the Normal Form Theory, to obtain necessary conditions for the…

In this paper we propose an elementary topological approach which unifies and extends various different results concerning fixed points and periodic points for maps defined on sets homeomorphic to rectangles embedded in euclidean spaces. We…

Following the program of investigation of alternative spinor duals potentially applicable to fermions beyond the standard model, we demonstrate explicitly the existence of several well-defined spinor duals. Going further we define a mapping…

We investigate linear parabolic maps on the torus. In a generic case these maps are non-invertible and discontinuous. Although the metric entropy of these systems is equal to zero, their dynamics is non-trivial due to folding of the image…

We study the arithmetic codings of hyperbolic automorphisms of the 2-torus, i.e. the continuous mappings acting from a certain symbolic space of sequences with a finite alphabet endowed with an appropriate structure of additive group onto…
