We show that certain symmetries of maps imply the existence of their invariant curves.

We consider the set of $C^1$ expanding maps of the circle which have a unique absolutely continuous invariant probability measure whose density is unbounded, and show that this set is dense in the space of $C^1$ expanding maps with the $C^1$ topology. This is in contrast with results for $C^2$ or $C^{1+\epsilon }$ maps, where the invariant densities can be shown to be continuous.

Let $\beta >1$ be a non-integer. We consider expansions of the form ${\sum }_{i=1}^{\infty }{d}_i/{\beta }^i$, where the digits ${\left(d_i\right)}_{i\ge 1}$ are generated by means of a Borel map $K_{\beta }$ defined on ${\{0,1\}}^{\mathbb{N}}\times [0,\lfloor \beta \rfloor \left(\beta -1\right)]$. We show existence and uniqueness of a $K_{\beta }$-invariant probability measure, absolutely continuous with respect to $m_p\otimes \lambda$, where $m_p$ is the Bernoulli measure on ${\{0,1\}}^{\mathbb{N}}$ with parameter $p$ ($0<p<1$) and $\lambda$ is the normalized Lebesgue measure on $[0,\lfloor \beta \rfloor (\beta -1\left)\right]$. Furthermore, this measure is of the form $m_p\otimes {\mu }_{\beta ,p}$, where ${\mu }_{\beta ,p}$ is equivalent to $\lambda$. We prove that the measure of maximal entropy and $m_p\otimes \lambda$ are mutually singular. In...

Let I be a real interval, J a subinterval of I, p ≥ 2 an integer number, and M1, ... , Mp : Ip → I the continuous means. We consider the problem of invariance of the graphs of functions ϕ : Jp−1 → I with respect to the mean-type mapping M = (M1, ... , Mp).Applying a result on the existence and uniqueness of an M -invariant mean [7], we prove that if the graph of a continuous function ϕ : Jp−1 → I ...

The local deformations of a submanifold under the effect of a smooth dynamical system are studied with the help of Oseledets’ multiplicative ergodic theorem. Equivalence classes of submanifolds, called jets, are introduced in order to describe these local deformations. They identify submanifolds having the same approximations up to some order at a given point. For every order $k$, a condition on the Lyapunov exponents of the dynamical system is established insuring the convergence of the $k$-jet of...

A control system is said to be finite if the Lie algebra generated by its vector fields is finite dimensional. Sufficient conditions for such a system on a compact manifold to be controllable are stated in terms of its Lie algebra. The proofs make use of the equivalence theorem of [Ph. Jouan, ESAIM: COCV 16 (2010) 956–973]. and of the existence of an invariant measure on certain compact homogeneous spaces.

We consider piecewise monotonic and expanding transformations τ of a real interval (not necessarily bounded) into itself with countable number of points of discontinuity of τ’ and with some conditions on the variation $V_{[0,x]}(1/|{\tau }^{\text{'}}\left|\right)$ which need not be a bounded function (although it is bounded on any compact interval). We prove that such transformations have absolutely continuous invariant measures. This result generalizes all previous “bounded variation” existence theorems.
