C 1 -minimal subsets of the circle

Dusa McDuff (1981)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Necessary conditions are found for a Cantor subset of the circle to be minimal for some C 1 -diffeomorphism. These conditions are not satisfied by the usual ternary Cantor set.

The brachistochrone problem with frictional forces

Roberto Giambò, Fabio Giannoni (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper we show the existence of the solution for the classical brachistochrone problem under the action of a conservative field in presence of frictional forces. Assuming that the frictional forces and the potential grow at most linearly, we prove the existence of a minimizer on the travel time between any two given points, whenever the initial velocity is great enough. We also prove the uniqueness of the minimizer whenever the given points are sufficiently close.

Two commuting maps without common minimal points

Tomasz Downarowicz (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We construct an example of two commuting homeomorphisms S, T of a compact metric space X such that the union of all minimal sets for S is disjoint from the union of all minimal sets for T. In other words, there are no common minimal points. This answers negatively a question posed in [C-L]. We remark that Furstenberg proved the existence of "doubly recurrent" points (see [F]). Not only are these points recurrent under both S and T, but they recur along the same sequence of powers. Our...
