We define a generic algorithmic framework to prove a pure discrete spectrum for the substitutive symbolic dynamical systems associated with some infinite families of Pisot substitutions. We focus on the families obtained as finite products of the three-letter substitutions associated with the multidimensional continued fraction algorithms of Brun and Jacobi–Perron. Our tools consist in a reformulation of some combinatorial criteria (coincidence conditions), in terms of properties of discrete plane generation using multidimensional (dual) substitutions. We also deduce some topological and dynamical properties of the Rauzy fractals, of the underlying symbolic dynamical systems, as well as some number-theoretical properties of the associated Pisot numbers.

We investigate the efficiency of several types of continued fraction expansions of a number in the unit interval using a generalization of Lochs theorem from 1964. Thus, we aim to compare the efficiency by describing the rate at which the digits of one number-theoretic expansion determine those of another. We study Chan’s continued fractions, θ-expansions, N-continued fractions, and Rényi-type continued fractions. A central role in fulfilling our goal is played by the entropy of the absolutely continuous invariant probability measures of the associated dynamical systems.

Generating chaotic attractors from nonlinear dynamical systems is quite important because of their applicability in sciences and engineering. This paper considers a class of 2-D mappings displaying fully bounded chaotic attractors for all bifurcation parameters. It describes in detail the dynamical behavior of this map, along with some other dynamical phenomena. Also presented are some phase portraits and some dynamical properties of the given simple family of 2-D discrete mappings.

Neural networks—both natural and artificial, are characterized by two kinds of dynamics. The first one is concerned with what we would call “learning dynamics”. The second one is the intrinsic dynamics of the neural network viewed as a dynamical system after the weights have been established via learning. The chapter deals with the second kind of dynamics. More precisely, since the emergent computational capabilities of a recurrent neural network can be achieved provided it has suitable dynamical properties when viewed as a system with several equilibria, the chapter deals with those qualitative properties connected to the achievement of such dynamical properties as global asymptotics and gradient-like behavior. In the case of the neural networks with delays, these aspects are reformulated in accordance with the state of the art of the theory of time delay dynamical systems.

We study a generalization of a continued fraction of Ramanujan with random, complex-valued coefficients. A study of the continued fraction is equivalent to an analysis of the convergence of certain stochastic difference equations and the stability of random dynamical systems. We determine the convergence properties of stochastic difference equations and so the divergence of their corresponding continued fractions.

Convergence properties of multidimensional continued fraction algorithms introduced by V. Baladi and A. Nogueira are studied. The paper contains an arithmetic proof of almost everywhere exponentially strong convergence of some two-dimensional Markovian random algorithms and dynamically defined ones. A special three-dimensional deterministic case is also discussed.

Most well-known multidimensional continued fractions, including the Mönkemeyer map and the triangle map, are generated by repeatedly subdividing triangles. This paper constructs a family of multidimensional continued fractions by permuting the vertices of these triangles before and after each subdivision. We obtain an even larger class of multidimensional continued fractions by composing the maps in the family. These include the algorithms of Brun, Parry-Daniels and Güting. We give criteria for when multidimensional continued fractions associate sequences to unique points, which allows us to determine when periodicity of the corresponding multidimensional continued fraction corresponds to pairs of real numbers being cubic irrationals in the same number field.

In this paper, we provide a periodic representation (by means of periodic rational or integer sequences) for any cubic irrationality. In particular, for a root α of a cubic polynomial with rational coefficients, we study the Cerruti polynomials [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], which are defined via [Formula: see text] Using these polynomials, we show how any cubic irrational can be written periodically as a ternary continued fraction. A periodic multidimensional continued fraction (with pre-period of length 2 and period of length 3) is proved convergent to a given cubic irrationality, by using the algebraic properties of cubic irrationalities and linear recurrent sequences.
