We propose a Fatou-Julia decomposition for holomorphic pseudosemigroups. It will be shown that the limit sets of finitely generated Kleinian groups, the Julia sets of mapping iterations and Julia sets of complex codimension-one regular foliations can be seen as particular cases of the decomposition. The decomposition is applied in order to introduce a Fatou-Julia decomposition for singular holomorphic foliations. In the well-studied cases, the decomposition behaves as expected.

Using a result due to M. Shub, a theorem about the existence of fixed points inside the unit disc for $C^1$ extensions of expanding maps defined on the boundary is established. An application to a special class of rational maps on the Riemann sphere and some considerations on ergodic properties of these maps are also made.

We study a linearization of a real-analytic plane map in the neighborhood of its fixed point of holomorphic type. We prove a generalization of the classical Koenig theorem. To do that, we use the well known results concerning the local dynamics of holomorphic mappings in ℂ².

The Conley index theory was introduced by Charles C. Conley (1933-1984) in [C1] and a major part of the foundations of the theory was developed in Ph. D. theses of his students, see for example [Ch, Ku, Mon]. The Conley index associates the homotopy type of some pointed space to an isolated invariant set of a flow, just as the fixed point index associates an integer number to an isolated set of fixed points of a continuous map. Examples of isolated invariant sets arise naturally in the critical...

We find all continuous iterative roots of nth order of a Sperner homeomorphism of the plane onto itself.

Let $\beta \>1$ be an algebraic number. We study the strings of zeros (“gaps”) in the Rényi $\beta$-expansion  $d_{\beta }\left(1\right)$ of unity which controls the set ${\mathbb{Z}}_{\beta }$ of $\beta$-integers. Using a version of Liouville’s inequality which extends Mahler’s and Güting’s approximation theorems, the strings of zeros in $d_{\beta }\left(1\right)$ are shown to exhibit a “gappiness” asymptotically bounded above by  $log\left(\mathrm{M}\right(\beta \left)\right)/log\left(\beta \right)$, where  $\mathrm{M}\left(\beta \right)$  is the Mahler measure of  $\beta$. The proof of this result provides in a natural way a new classification of algebraic numbers $\>1$ with classes called Q...

This paper deals with some characterizations of gradient-like continuous random dynamical systems (RDS). More precisely, we establish an equivalence with the existence of random continuous section or with the existence of continuous and strict Liapunov function. However and contrary to the deterministic case, parallelizable RDS appear as a particular case of gradient-like RDS.The obtained results are generalizations of well-known analogous theorems in the framework of deterministic dynamical systems....

A theory of essential values of cocycles over minimal rotations with values in locally compact Abelian groups, especially ${ℝ}^m$, is developed. Criteria for such a cocycle to be conservative are given. The group of essential values of a cocycle is described.

We prove that action of a semigroup $T$ on compact metric space $X$ by continuous selfmaps is strongly proximal if and only if $T$ action on $𝒫\left(X\right)$ is strongly proximal. As a consequence we prove that affine actions on certain compact convex subsets of finite-dimensional vector spaces are strongly proximal if and only if the action is proximal.

Let (P,ω) be a symplectic manifold. We find an integrability condition for an implicit differential system D' which is formed by a Lagrangian submanifold in the canonical symplectic tangent bundle (TP,ὡ).

We study a family of semilinear reaction-diffusion equations on spatial domains ${\Omega }_{\epsilon }$, ε > 0, in ${ℝ}^l$ lying close to a k-dimensional submanifold ℳ of ${ℝ}^l$. As ε → 0⁺, the domains collapse onto (a subset of) ℳ. As proved in [15], the above family has a limit equation, which is an abstract semilinear parabolic equation defined on a certain limit phase space denoted by $H{¹}_s\left(\Omega \right)$. The definition of $H{¹}_s\left(\Omega \right)$, given in the above paper, is very abstract. One of the objectives of this paper is to give more manageable characterizations...

Let $S_i:{ℝ}^d\to {ℝ}^d$ for i = 1,..., N be contracting similarities, let $(p₁,...,p_N,p)$ be a probability vector and let ν be a probability measure on ${ℝ}^d$ with compact support. It is well known that there exists a unique inhomogeneous self-similar probability measure μ on ${ℝ}^d$ such that $\mu ={\sum }_{i=1}^N{p}_i\mu \circ S_i^{-1}+p\nu$. We give satisfactory estimates for the lower and upper bounds of the $L^q$ spectra of inhomogeneous self-similar measures. The case in which there are a countable number of contracting similarities and probabilities is considered. In particular, we...
