Smoothness in disjoint groups of real functions under composition.
This work deals with Feigenbaum’s functional equation ⎧ , ⎨ ⎩ g(0) = 1, -1 ≤ g(x) ≤ 1, x∈[-1,1] where p ≥ 2 is an integer, is the p-fold iteration of g, and h is a strictly monotone odd continuous function on [-1,1] with h(0) = 0 and |h(x)| < |x| (x ∈ [-1,1], x ≠ 0). Using a constructive method, we discuss the existence of continuous unimodal even solutions of the above equation.
We obtain a result on the existence of a solution with big graph of functional equations of the form g(x,𝜑(x),𝜑(f(x)))=0 and we show that it is applicable to some important equations, both linear and nonlinear, including those of Abel, Böttcher and Schröder. The graph of such a solution 𝜑 has some strange properties: it is dense and connected, has full outer measure and is topologically big.
We study the generalized Dhombres functional equation f(zf(z)) = ϕ(f(z)) in the complex domain. The function ϕ is given and we are looking for solutions f with f(0) = w0 and w0 is a primitive root of unity of order l ≥ 2. All formal solutions for this case are described in this work, for the situation where ϕ can be transformed into a function which is linearizable and local analytic in a neighbourhood of zero we also show...
We show that the theorem proved in [8] generalises the previous results concerning orientation-preserving iterative roots of homeomorphisms of the circle with a rational rotation number (see [2], [6], [10] and [7]).
We consider the dynamical system (𝒜, Tf), where 𝒜 is a class of differential real functions defined on some interval and Tf : 𝒜 → 𝒜 is an operator Tfφ := fοφ, where f is a differentiable m-modal map. If we consider functions in 𝒜 whose critical values are periodic points for f then, we show how to define and characterize a substitution system associated with (𝒜, Tf). For these substitution systems, we compute the growth rate of the...
