Higher order Schwarzian derivatives in interval dynamics

O. Kozlovski, D. Sands (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We introduce an infinite sequence of higher order Schwarzian derivatives closely related to the theory of monotone matrix functions. We generalize the classical Koebe lemma to maps with positive Schwarzian derivatives up to some order, obtaining control over derivatives of high order. For a large class of multimodal interval maps we show that all inverse branches of first return maps to sufficiently small neighbourhoods of critical values have their higher order Schwarzian derivatives positive up...

High-order phase transitions in the quadratic family

Daniel Coronel, Juan Rivera-Letelier (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We give the first example of a transitive quadratic map whose real and complex geometric pressure functions have a high-order phase transition. In fact, we show that this phase transition resembles a Kosterlitz-Thouless singularity: Near the critical parameter the geometric pressure function behaves as x exp ( x 2 ) near x = 0 , before becoming linear. This quadratic map has a non-recurrent critical point, so it is non-uniformly hyperbolic in a strong sense.

Homeomorphisms of inverse limit spaces of one-dimensional maps

Marcy Barge, Beverly Diamond (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We present a new technique for showing that inverse limit spaces of certain one-dimensional Markov maps are not homeomorphic. In particular, the inverse limit spaces for the three maps from the tent family having periodic kneading sequence of length five are not homeomorphic.

Hubbard trees

Alfredo Poirier (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We provide a full classification of postcritically finite polynomials as dynamical systems by means of Hubbard trees. The information encoded in these objects is solid enough to allow us recover all the relevant statical and dynamical aspects of the corresponding Julia sets.

Hyperbolicity in a class of one-dimensional maps.

Gregory J. Davis (1990)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

In this paper we provide a direct proof of hyperbolicity for a class of one-dimensional maps on the unit interval. The maps studied are degenerate forms of the standard quadratic map on the interval. These maps are important in understanding the Newhouse theory of infinitely many sinks due to homoclinic tangencies in two dimensions.

Identifying points of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism

Gavin Band (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We investigate the question, due to S. Smale, of whether a hyperbolic automorphism T of the n-dimensional torus can have a compact invariant subset homeomorphic to a compact manifold of positive dimension, other than a finite union of subtori. In the simplest case such a manifold would be a closed surface. A result of Fathi says that T can sometimes have an invariant subset which is a finite-to-one image of a closed surface under a continuous map which is locally injective except possibly at a finite...

Inhomogeneities in non-hyperbolic one-dimensional invariant sets

Brian E. Raines (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The topology of one-dimensional invariant sets (attractors) is of great interest. R. F. Williams [20] demonstrated that hyperbolic one-dimensional non-wandering sets can be represented as inverse limits of graphs with bonding maps that satisfy certain strong dynamical properties. These spaces have "homogeneous neighborhoods" in the sense that small open sets are homeomorphic to the product of a Cantor set and an arc. In this paper we examine inverse limits of graphs with more complicated bonding...

Invariant measures for piecewise convex transformations of an interval

Christopher Bose, Véronique Maume-Deschamps, Bernard Schmitt, S. Sujin Shin (2002)

Studia Mathematica

We investigate the existence and ergodic properties of absolutely continuous invariant measures for a class of piecewise monotone and convex self-maps of the unit interval. Our assumption entails a type of average convexity which strictly generalizes the case of individual branches being convex, as investigated by Lasota and Yorke (1982). Along with existence, we identify tractable conditions for the invariant measure to be unique and such that the system has exponential decay of correlations on...

Invariant measures for position dependent random maps with continuous random parameters

Tomoki Inoue (2012)

Studia Mathematica

We consider a family of transformations with a random parameter and study a random dynamical system in which one transformation is randomly selected from the family and applied on each iteration. The parameter space may be of cardinality continuum. Further, the selection of the transformation need not be independent of the position in the state space. We show the existence of absolutely continuous invariant measures for random maps on an interval under some conditions.

Inverse limit spaces of post-critically finite tent maps

Henk Bruin (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let (I,T) be the inverse limit space of a post-critically finite tent map. Conditions are given under which these inverse limit spaces are pairwise nonhomeomorphic. This extends results of Barge & Diamond [2].
