A matchbox manifold is a generalized lamination, and is a continuum whose arc-components define the leaves of a foliation of the space. The main result of this paper implies that a matchbox manifold which is manifold-like must be homeomorphic to a weak solenoid.
We study the fine geometric structure of bifurcation currents in the parameter space of cubic polynomials viewed as dynamical systems. In particular we prove that these currents have some laminar structure in a large region of parameter space, reflecting the possibility of quasiconformal deformations.
This paper deals with stability of a certain class of fractional order linear and nonlinear systems. The stability is investigated in the time domain and the frequency domain.
Let G be a finite abelian group. We will consider a skew product extension of a product of two Cantor minimal Z-systems associated with a G-valued cocycle.
The {\it two-fold singularity} has played a significant role in our understanding of uniqueness and stability in piecewise smooth dynamical systems. When a vector field is discontinuous at some hypersurface, it can become tangent to that surface from one side or the other, and tangency from both sides creates a two-fo...
This paper considers a class of nonlocal fractional neutral stochastic integrodifferential inclusions of order $1<\alpha<2$ with impulses in a Hilbert space. We study the existence of the mild solution for the cases when the multi-valued map has convex and non-convex values.
If a system mixes too slowly, putting a hole in it can completely destroy the richness of the dynamics. Here we study this instability for a class of intermittent maps with a family of slowly mixing measures.
The famous conjecture of <a href="http://V.Ya.Ivrii" rel="external noopener nofollow" class="link-external link-http">this http URL</a> (1978) says that {\it in every billiard with infinitely-smooth boundary in a Euclidean space the set of periodic orbits has measure zero}. In the present paper we study the complex ve...
Certain subsets of limit sets of geometrically finite Fuchsian groups with parabolic elements are considered. It is known that Jarn\&#39;ık limit sets determine a &#34;weak multifractal spectrum&#34; of the Patterson measure in this situation.
We propose a clustering-based approach for identifying coherent flow structures in continuous dynamical systems. We first treat a particle trajectory over a finite time interval as a high-dimensional data point and then cluster these data from different initial locations into groups.
We study a class of planar billiards having the remarkable property that their phase space consists up to a set of zero measure of two invariant sets formed by orbits moving in opposite directions. The tables of these billiards are tubular neighborhoods of differentiable Jordan curves that are unions of finitely many ...
Based on symbolic dynamics of Lorenz maps, we prove that, pro- vided one conjecture due to Morton is true, then Lorenz knots asso- ciated to orbits of points in the renormalization intervals of Lorenz maps with reducible kneading invariant of type (X,Y) * S, where the sequences X and Y are Farey neighbors verifying som...
In this article, we study an analytic curve $\varphi: I=[a,b]\rightarrow \mathrm{M}(n\times n, \mathbb{R})$ in the space of $n$ by $n$ real matrices, and show that if $\varphi$ satisfies certain geometric conditions, then for almost every point on the curve, the Diophantine approximation given by Dirichlet&#39;s Theore...
We give sufficient conditions for an expansive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism with one-dimensional center to be (topologically) Anosov.
Periodic hematological diseases such as cyclical neutropenia or cyclical thrombocytopenia, with their characteristic oscillations of circulating neutrophils or platelets, may pose grave problems for patients. Likewise, periodically administered chemotherapy has the unintended side effect of establishing periodic fluct...
In this paper we describe the dynamics of a vector-borne relapsing disease, such as tick-borne relapsing fever, using the methods of compartmental models. After some motivation, model description, and a brief overview of the theory of compartmental models, we compute a general form of the reproductive ratio $R_0$, whi...
Semigroup actions and their invertible extensions are discussed. First, we develop a theory of natural extensions for continuous actions of countable, embeddable semigroups.
This paper presents a general method for combining uncertain and paradoxical source of evidences for a wide class of fusion problems. From the foundations of the Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) we show how the DSm rule of combination can be adapted to take into account all possible integrity constraints (if any) of t...
Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold and $L:TM\rightarrow \mathbb R$ be a Tonelli Lagrangian. In this thesis we study the existence of orbits of the Euler-Lagrange flow associated with $L$ satisfying suitable boundary conditions.
The collective behavior of animals can be modeled by a system of equations of continuum mechanics endowed with extra terms describing repulsive and attractive forces between the individuals. This system can be viewed as a generalization of the compressible Euler equations with all of its unpleasant consequences, e.g.,...
Motivated by the ergodic closing lemma of Mañé, we investigate the $C^\infty$ closing lemma in higher-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, with a focus on the statistical behavior of periodic orbits generated by $C^\infty$-small perturbations. We demonstrate that, under certain Floer-theoretic conditions, invariant or rec...
We apply spatial dynamical-systems techniques to prove that certain spatiotemporal patterns in reversible reaction-diffusion equations undergo snaking bifurcations. That is, in a narrow region of parameter space, countably many branches of patterned states coexist that connect at towers of saddle-node bifurcations.
We prove that if for relative equilibrium solutions of a generalisation of the $n$-body problem of celestial mechanics the masses and rotation are given, then the minimum distance between the point masses of such a relative equilibrium has a universal lower bound that is not equal to zero. We furthermore prove that th...
We study the law of random self-similar series defined above an irrational rotation on the Circle. This provides a natural class of continuous singular non-Rajchman measures.
We will introduce the biological motivation of the $\gamma$- food-limited model with variable parameters. New criteria are established for the existence and global stability of positive periodic solutions.
We prove a local limit theorem for Lipschitz continuous observables on a weakly coupled lattice of piecewise expanding interval maps. The core of the paper is a proof that the spectral radii of the Fourier-transfer operators for such a system are strictly less than 1.
Following Part~I, we consider a class of reversible systems and study bifurcations of homoclinic orbits to hyperbolic saddle equilibria. Here we concentrate on the case in which homoclinic orbits are symmetric, so that only one control parameter is enough to treat their bifurcations, as in Hamiltonian systems.
Let $X$ be a regular curve and $n$ be a positive integer such that for every nonempty open set $U\subset X$, there is a nonempty connected open set $V\subset U$ with the cardinality $|\partial_X(V)|\leq n$. We show that if $X$ admits a sensitive action of a group $G$, then $G$ contains a free subsemigroup and the acti...
Political candidates often shift their positions opportunistically in hopes of capturing more votes. When there are only two candidates, the best strategy for each of them is often to move towards the other.
We study the escape rate for the Farey map, an infinite measure preserving system, with a hole including the indifferent fixed point. Due to the ergodic properties of the map, the standard theoretical approaches to this problem cannot be applied.
Fragmentation--coagulation processes, in which aggregates can break up or get together, often occur together with decay processes in which the components can be removed from the aggregates by a chemical reaction, evaporation, dissolution, or death. In this paper we consider the discrete decay--fragmentation equation an...
We give a global geometric decomposition of continuously differentiable vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^n$. More precisely, given a vector field of class $\mathcal{C}^{1}$ on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, and a geometric structure on $\mathbb{R}^n$, we provide a unique global decomposition of the vector field as the sum of a left (r...
We show that a cellular automaton (or shift-endomorphism) on a transitive subshift is either almost equicontinuous or sensitive. On the other hand, we construct a cellular automaton on a full-shift (hence a transitive subshift) that is neither almost mean equicontinuous nor mean sensitive.
We study the case when solution of an ODE at a given initial condition fail to be unique and investigate what are the possible time-1 sections of the `solution funnel&#39;. Along the way we give construction of a natural complete metric on the space of Jordan curves and prove that the generic Jordan curve is nowhere p...
We show some results about the Hausdorff dimension of particular minimal but not uniquely ergodic interval exchange transformations. There is an appendix which shows that typical points for two different ergodic measures of an interval exchange can approximate each other differently.
In this paper we obtain the estimates on some dynamic integral inequalities in three variables which can be used to study certain dynamic equations. We give some applications to convey the importance of our result.
We study the homotopical rotation vectors and the homotopical rotation sets for the billiard flow on the unit flat torus with two, disjoint and orthogonal cylindrical scatterers removed from it. <br>The natural habitat for these objects is the infinite cone erected upon the Cantor set $\text{Ends}(G)$ of all &#34;ends...
We establish an asymptotic formula for the number of lattice points in the sets \[ \mathbf S_{h_1, h_2, h_3}(\lambda): =\{x\in\mathbb Z_+^3:\lfloor h_1(x_1)\rfloor+\lfloor h_2(x_2)\rfloor+\lfloor h_3(x_3)\rfloor=\lambda\} \quad \text{with}\quad \lambda\in\mathbb Z_+; \] where functions $h_1, h_2, h_3$ are constant mult...
For polynomials, local connectivity of Julia sets is a much-studied and important property. Indeed, when the Julia set of a polynomial of degree $d\geq 2$ is locally connected, the topological dynamics can be completely described as a quotient of a much simpler system: angle $d$-tupling on the circle.
We prove density of hyperbolicity in spaces of (i) real transcendental entire functions, bounded on the real line, whose singular set is finite and real and
We give a construction of measures with partial sum of Lyapunov exponents bounded by below.
It is argued that a diffusion may be ergodic even though the drift field has unbounded outward-directed parts. The discussion employs stochastic and numerical methods.
The paper introduces a general method to construct conformal measures for a local homeomorphism on a locally compact non-compact Hausdorff space, subject to mild irreducibility-like conditions. Among others the method is used to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of eigenmeasures for the dual R...
This paper contains a selection, dictated by personal taste and by no means complete, of open problems in local discrete holomorphic dynamics.
This article is devoted to the existence and uniqueness of pathwise solutions to stochastic evolution equations, driven by a Hölder continuous function with Hölder exponent in $(1/2,1)$, and with nontrivial multiplicative noise. As a particular situation, we shall consider the case where the equation is driven by a fr...
An analytical study of dynamical properties of a semiconductor laser with optical injection of arbitrary polarization is presented. It is shown that if the injected field is sufficiently weak, then the laser has nine equilibrium points, however, only one of them is stable.
Let $f$ be a Laurent polynomial in $d$ commuting variables with integer coefficients. Associated to $f$ is the principal algebraic $\mathbb{Z}^d$-action $\alpha_f$ on a compact subgroup $X_f$ of $\mathbb{T}^{\mathbb{Z}^d}$ determined by $f$.
This paper focuses on the problem of quantifying the effects of model-structure uncertainty in the context of time-evolving dynamical systems. This is motivated by multi-model uncertainty in computer physics simulations: developers often make different modeling choices in numerical approximations and process simplific...
In this paper we investigate how many periodic attractors maps in a small neighbourhood of a given map can have. For this purpose we develop new tools which help to make uniform cross-ratio distortion estimates in a neighbourhood of a map with degenerate critical points.
Against the backdrop of global climate change and agricultural globalization, soybean production is increasingly threatened by pest outbreaks, with Leguminivora glycinivorella (commonly known as the soybean pod borer) being a major pest species. This pest is widely distributed, particularly in northeastern China, the ...
We study the run length function for intermittency maps. In particular, we show that the longest consecutive zero digits (resp. one digits) having a time window of polynomial (resp. logarithmic) length.
A generalized seasonally-varying predator-prey model with Allee effect in the prey growth is investigated. The analysis is performed only on the basis of some properties determining the shape of the prey growth rate and the trophic interaction functions.
We show that in the absence of periodic centre annuli, a partially hyperbolic surface endomorphism is dynamically coherent and leaf conjugate to its linearisation. We proceed to characterise the dynamics in the presence of periodic centre annuli.
Complex systems are ubiquitous in nature and engineering, but their analysis and control are hampered by their high dimensionality and the influence of various factors on their dynamics. Dimensionality reduction aims to find a low-dimensional representation of the complex system that preserves its essential features a...
We develop conditions for the coding of a Bratteli-Vershik system according to initial path segments to be periodic, equivalently for a constructive symbolic recursive scheme corresponding to a cutting and stacking process to produce a periodic sequence. This is a step toward understanding when a Bratteli-Vershik syst...
We prove that, for $C^1$-generic diffeomorphisms, if the periodic orbits contained in a homoclinic class $H(p)$ have all their Lyapunov exponents bounded away from 0, then $H(p)$ must be (uniformly) hyperbolic. This is in sprit of the works of the stability conjecture, but with a significant difference that the homocl...
We investigate the relationship between the dynamical properties of minimal topological dynamical systems and the multiplicative combinatorial properties of return time sets arising from those systems. In particular, we prove that for a residual sets of points in any minimal system, the set of return times to any non-...
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a dynamical system to be topologically conjugate to any given substitution minimal system, thus extending the results in [CKL] for the Morse and Toeplitz substitutions.
We study the regularity of the conjugacy between an Anosov automorphism $L$ of a torus and its small perturbation. We assume that $L$ has no more than two eigenvalues of the same modulus and that $L^4$ is irreducible over $\mathbb Q$.
We study main bifurcations of multidimensional diffeomorphisms having a non-transversal homoclinic orbit to a saddle-node fixed point. On a parameter plane we build a bifurcation diagram for single-round periodic orbits lying entirely in a small neighbourhood of the homoclinic orbit.
In this paper, we construct a homeomorphism on the unit closed disk to show that an invertible mapping on a compact metric space is Li-Yorke chaotic does not imply its inverse being Li-Yorke chaotic.
We prove the existence of novel, shock-fronted travelling wave solutions to a model of wound healing angiogenesis studied in Pettet et al., IMA J. Math. App.
We propose an infinite Kuramoto model for a countably infinite set of Kuramoto oscillators and study its emergent dynamics for two classes of network topologies. For a class of symmetric and row(or column)-summable network topology, we show that a homogeneous ensemble exhibits complete synchronization, and the infinit...
We consider a recent formulation of weak KAM theory proposed by Evans. As well as for classical integrability, for one dimensional mechanical Hamiltonian systems all the computations can be explicitly done.
In this work we will show that the Teichmüller distance for all elements of a certain class of generalized polynomial-like maps (the class of off-critically hyperbolic generalized polynomial-like maps) is actually a distance, as in the case of real polynomials with connected Julia set, as studied by Sullivan. This cla...
For the long-time dynamical challenges of some prototypical 3D flows including the ABC flow on $\mathbb{T}^3$, we apply a random splitting method to establish two fundamental indicators of chaotic dynamics. First, under general assumptions, we establish that these random splittings exhibit Lagrangian chaos, characteri...
This paper investigates the finite-time stability (FTS) of nonlinear conformable fractional-order delayed impulsive systems (CFODISs). Using the conformable fractional-order (CFO) derivative framework, we derive a novel FTS result by extending the existing works on continuous integer-order (IO) systems.
We give an effective bound on how much time orbits of a unipotent group $U$ on an arithmetic quotient $G/\Gamma$ can stay near homogeneous subvarieties of $G /\Gamma$ corresponding to $\mathbb Q$-subgroups of $G$. In particular, we show that if such a $U$-orbit is moderately near a proper homogeneous subvariety of $G/...
Motivated by a problem in ergodic Ramsey theory, Furstenberg and Katznelson introduced the notion of strong stationarity, showing that certain recurrence properties hold for arbitrary measure preserving systems if they are valid for strongly stationary ones. We construct some new examples and prove a structure theorem...
In this paper, we introduce a generalized piecewise translation map on the Euclidean space. We provide a special case when this map is always of finite type.
Let $G$ be a group and let $V$ be an algebraic variety over an algebraically closed field $K$. Let $A$ denote the set of $K$-points of $V$.
In this mainly expository paper we present a detailed proof of several results contained in a paper by M. Bertelson and M. Gromov on Dynamical Morse Entropy. This is an introduction to the ideas presented in that work.
We show that ergodic affine abelian discrete actions on the torus, that have a rank-one factor in their linear part, are locally rigid in a KAM sense if and only if the rank one factor is trivial and the action is higher-rank transversally to this factor. Since it has been proved by Damjanovic and Katok that affine ac...
The Rock-Scissors-Paper game has been studied to account for cyclic behaviour under various game dynamics. We use a two-person parametrised version of this game.
In this note, continuous transitive maps $f$ on the interval $I$ are re-addressed, where $I$ denotes one of the intervals: $(-\infty, \infty)$, $(-\infty, a]$, $[b, \infty)$, $[a, b]$, where $a &lt; b$ are real numbers. Such maps must have a fixed point, say $z$, in the interior of $I$.
We introduce the notion of n-mating in this work, which includes the classical mating of polynomials as a special case. The new notion brings further links between the polynomial world and the rational world than the classical one, as well as a natural classification of rational maps according to their n-unmatability....
We give a condition on a piecewise constant roof function and an irrational rotation by $\alpha$ on the circle to give rise to a special flow having the mild mixing property. Such flows will also satisfy Ratner&#39;s property.
Let $K$ be a finite extension of the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers, and $\phi\in K(z)$ be a rational map of degree at least $2$. We prove that the $K$-Julia set of $\phi$ is the natural restriction of $\mathbb{C}_p$-Julia set, provided that the critical orbits are well-behaved.
Working bi-Hamiltonian structure and Jacobi identity in Frenet-Serret frame associated to a dynamical system, we proved that all dynamical systems in three dimensions possess two compatible Poisson structures. We investigate relations between geometry of surfaces defined by potential function of a gradient system and ...
This paper studies the asymptotic behaviour of the solution of a differential equation perturbed by a fast flow preserving an infinite measure. This question is related with limit theorems for non-stationary Birkhoff integrals.
In this paper, we give necessary conditions for stability of coupled autonomous vehicles in R. We focus on linear arrays with decentralized vehicles, where each vehicle interacts with only a few of its neighbors. We obtain explicit expressions for necessary conditions for stability in the cases that a system consists ...
We investigate the stability loss of invariant n-dimensional quasi-periodic tori during a double Hopf bifurcation, where at bifurcation the two normal frequencies are in normal-normal resonance. Invariants are used to analyse the normal form approximations in a unified manner.
Let $G$ be a group and $H\leqslant G$ a subgroup. The free extension of an $H$-subshift $X$ to $G$ is the $G$-subshift $\widetilde{X}$ whose configurations are those for which the restriction to every coset of $H$ is a configuration from $X$.
Topological mating is an combination that takes two same-degree polynomials and produces a new map with dynamics inherited from this initial pair. This process frequently yields a map that is Thurston-equivalent to a rational map $F$ on the Riemann sphere.
Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system. We define the measure-theoretical lower and upper entropies $\underline{h}_\mu(T)$, $\bar{h}_\mu(T)$ for any $\mu\in M(X)$, where $M(X)$ denotes the collection of all Borel probability measures on $X$.
We show that repelling periodic points are landing points of periodic rays for exponential maps whose singular value has bounded orbit. For polynomials with connected Julia sets, this is a celebrated theorem by Douady, for which we present a new proof.
In this paper we introduce the concept of orbital fuzzy iterated function system and prove that the fuzzy operator associated to such a system is weakly Picard. An example is provided.
We study renormalization of highly dissipative analytic three dimensional Hénon maps $$ F(x,y,z) = (f(x) - \varepsilon(x,y,z),\ x,\ \delta(x,y,z)) $$ where $ \varepsilon(x,y,z) $ is a sufficiently small perturbation of $ \varepsilon_{2d}(x,y) $. Under certain conditions, $ C^r $ single invariant surfaces each of which...
The Fibonacci word is the fixed point beginning with the letter $a$ of morphism $\sigma (a)=ab$, $\sigma
An avoshift is a subshift where for each set $C$ from a suitable family of subsets of the shift group, the set of all possible valid extensions of a globally valid pattern on $C$ to the identity element is determined by a bounded subpattern. This property is shared (for various families of sets $C$) by for example cel...
In this paper, we prove that for any post-critically finite rational map $f$ on the Riemann sphere $\overline{\mathbb{C}}$, and for each sufficiently large integer $n$, there exists a finite and connected graph $G$ in the Julia set of $f$ such that $f^n(G) \subset G$. This graph contains all post-critical points in th...
We show that if $G$ is a countable amenable group acting on a uniquely arcwise connected continuum $X$, then $G$ has either a fixed point or a 2-periodic point in $X$.
In this work we deal with partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms whose central direction is two dimensional. We prove that in general the accessibility classes are immersed manifolds.
We establish a direct classical-quantum correspondence on convex cocompact hyperbolic manifolds between the spectrums of the geodesic flow and the Laplacian acting on natural tensor bundles. This extends previous work detailing the correspondence for cocompact quotients.
In this paper, we focus on the influence of heterogeneity and stochasticity of the population on the dynamical structure of a basic susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model. First we prove that, upon a suitable mathematical reformulation of the basic reproduction number, the homogeneous system and the heterogeneou...
We show that there exists endotactic and strongly endotactic dynamical systems that are not weakly reversible and possess infinitely many steady states. We provide a few examples in two dimensions and an example in three dimensions that satisfy this property.
In this article, we study subword complexity of colorings of regular trees. We characterize colorings of bounded subword complexity and study Sturmian colorings, which are colorings of minimal unbounded subword complexity.
Given $C^2$ infinitely renormalizable unimodal maps $f$ and $g$ with a quadratic critical point and the same bounded combinatorial type, we prove that they are $C^{1+\alpha}$ conjugate along the closure of the corresponding forward orbits of the critical points, for some $\alpha&gt;0$.
The Deficiency-One Theorem states that there exists a unique positive steady state in each positive stoichiometric class for weakly reversible deficiency-one mass action systems with one linkage class (regardless of the values of the rate coefficients). The non-emptiness of the set of positive steady states does not r...
We consider the NLS equation with a linear double well potential. Symmetry breaking, i.e., the localisation of an order parameter in one of the potential wells that can occur when the system is symmetric, has been studied extensively.
