We show that the dynamical behavior of a coupled map lattice where the individual maps are Bernoulli shift maps can be solved analytically for integer couplings. We calculate the invariant density of the system and show that it displays a…
The conjugacy problem is one of the central questions in iteration theory. As far as we, for discontinuous strictly monotone maps there is no complete result. In this paper, we investigate the conjugacy problem of strictly monotone maps…
Linear-constraint loops are programs whose transition relation is specified by a system of linear inequalities. The termination problem asks, given a loop, whether it admits an infinite computation. Decidability of termination remains open…
Proposed in 1937, the Collatz conjecture has remained in the spotlight for mathematicians and computer scientists alike due to its simple proposal, yet intractable proof. In this paper, we propose several novel theorems, corollaries, and…
The method of alternation projections (MAP) is an iterative procedure for finding the projection of a point on the intersection of closed subspaces of an Hilbert space. The convergence of this method is usually slow, and several methods for…
For a transitive countably piecewise monotone Markov interval map we consider the question whether there exists a conjugate map of constant slope. The answer varies depending on whether the map is continuous or only piecewise continuous,…
Lorenz maps are maps of the unit interval with one critical point of order rho>1, and a discontinuity at that point. They appear as return maps of leafs of sections of the geometric Lorenz flow. We construct real a priori bounds for…
For all natural numbers a,b and d > 0, we consider the function f_{a,b,d} which associates n/d to any integer n when it is a multiple of d, and an + b otherwise; in particular f_{3,1,2} is the Collatz function. Coding in base a > 1 with b <…
Using three different approaches, we analyze the complexity of various birational maps constructed from simple operations (inversions) on square matrices of arbitrary size. The first approach consists in the study of the images of lines,…
In this paper, first we introduce a new mapping for finding a common fixed point of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings then we consider iterative method for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of an infinite family…
I show here that there are three different kinds of iterations for the reduced Collatz algorithm; depending on whether the root of the number is odd or even. There is only one kind of iteration if the root is odd and two kinds if the root…
For a long time, Collatz Conjecture has been assumed to be true, although a formal proof has eluded all efforts to date. In this article, evidence is presented that suggests such an assumption is incorrect. By analysing the stopping times…
I propose a scheme of constructing classical integrable models in 3+1 discrete dimensions, based on a relaxed version of the problem of factorizing a matrix into the product of four matrices of a special form.
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…
Sequence of numbers generated by the recurrence relation based on the Collatz conjecture is investigated. An arithmetic operation on the Collatz conjecture is called descending operation, and ascending operation is carried out reversely to…
In this paper, we settle the open complexity status of interval constrained coloring with a fixed number of colors. We prove that the problem is already NP-complete if the number of different colors is 3. Previously, it has only been known…
A zigzag in a map (a $2$-cell embedding of a connected graph in a connected closed $2$-dimensional surface) is a cyclic sequence of edges satisfying the following conditions: 1) any two consecutive edges lie on the same face and have a…
In this paper, we prove that the crossing number of circulant graph $C(3k+1;\{1,k\})$ on the projective plane is $k$ for $k \geq 3$.
In this paper we investigate iteration of maps on lattices and the corresponding polynomial-like iterative equation. Since a lattice need not have a metric space structure, neither the Schauder fixed point theorem nor the Banach fixed point…
We investigate the NP-Complete problem SAT and the geometry of its instances. For a particular type that we call {\it non-interlaced formulas}, we propose a polynomial time algorithm for their resolution using graphs and matrices.
