A unimodal map $f:[0,1] \to [0,1]$ is renormalizable if there is a sub-interval $I \subset [0,1]$ and an $n > 1$ such that $f^n|_I$ is unimodal. The renormalization of $f$ is $f^n|_I$ rescaled to the unit interval.We extend the well-known classification of limits of renormalization of unimodal maps with bounded combinatorics to a classification of the limits of renormalization of unimodal maps with essentially bounded combinatorics. Together with results of Lyubich on the limits of renormalization with essentially unbounded combinatorics, this completes the combinatorial description of limits of renormalization. The techniques are based on the towers of McMullen and on the local analysis around perturbed parabolic points. We define a parabolic tower to be a sequence of unimodal maps related by renormalization or parabolic renormalization. We state and prove the combinatorial rigidity of bi-infinite parabolic towers with complex bounds and essentially bounded combinatorics, which implies the main theorem.As an example we construct a natural unbounded analogue of the period-doubling fixed point of renormalization, called the essentially period-tripling fixed point.

AbstractThe period doubling renormalization operator was introduced by Feigenbaum and by Coullet and Tresser in the 1970s to study the asymptotic small-scale geometry of the attractor of one-dimensional systems that are at the transition from simple to chaotic dynamics. This geometry turns out not to depend on the choice of the map under rather mild smoothness conditions. The existence of a unique renormalization fixed point that is also hyperbolic among generic smooth-enough maps plays a crucial role in the corresponding renormalization theory. The uniqueness and hyperbolicity of the renormalization fixed point were first shown in the holomorphic context, by means that generalize to other renormalization operators. It was then proved that, in the space ofC2+αunimodal maps, forα>0, the period doubling renormalization fixed point is hyperbolic as well. In this paper we study what happens when one approaches from below the minimal smoothness thresholds for the uniqueness and for the hyperbolicity of the period doubling renormalization generic fixed point. Indeed, our main result states that in the space ofC2unimodal maps the analytic fixed point is not hyperbolic and that the same remains true when adding enough smoothness to geta prioribounds. In this smoother class, calledC2+∣⋅∣, the failure of hyperbolicity is tamer than inC2. Things get much worse with just a bit less smoothness thanC2, as then even the uniqueness is lost and other asymptotic behavior becomes possible. We show that the period doubling renormalization operator acting on the space ofC1+Lipunimodal maps has infinite topological entropy.

In this paper, we characterize the classification of unimodal maps from the plane to the plane with respect to [Formula: see text]-equivalence given by Rieger in terms of invariants. We recall the classification over an algebraically closed field of characteristic [Formula: see text]. On the basis of this characterization, we present an algorithm to compute the type of the unimodal maps from the plane to the plane without computing the normal form and also give its implementation in the computer algebra system Singular.

Abstract We consider a family of strongly-asymmetric unimodal maps $$\{f_t\}_{t\in [0,1]}$$ { f t } t ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] of the form $$f_t=t\cdot f$$ f t = t · f where $$f:[0,1]\rightarrow [0,1]$$ f : [ 0 , 1 ] → [ 0 , 1 ] is unimodal, $$f(0)=f(1)=0$$ f ( 0 ) = f ( 1 ) = 0 , $$f(c)=1$$ f ( c ) = 1 is of the form and $$\begin{aligned} f(x)=\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 1-K_-|x-c|+o(|x-c|)&{} \text{ for } x<c, \\ 1-K_+|x-c|^\beta + o(|x-c|^\beta ) &{} \text{ for } x>c, \end{array}\right. \end{aligned}$$ f ( x ) = 1 - K - | x - c | + o ( | x - c | ) for x < c , 1 - K + | x - c | β + o ( | x - c | β ) for x > c , where we assume that $$\beta >1$$ β > 1 . We show that such a family contains a Feigenbaum–Coullet–Tresser $$2^\infty $$ 2 ∞ map, and develop a renormalization theory for these maps. The scalings of the renormalization intervals of the $$2^\infty $$ 2 ∞ map turn out to be super-exponential and non-universal (i.e. to depend on the map) and the scaling-law is different for odd and even steps of the renormalization. The conjugacy between the attracting Cantor sets of two such maps is smooth if and only if some invariant is satisfied. We also show that the Feigenbaum–Coullet–Tresser map does not have wandering intervals, but surprisingly we were only able to prove this using our rather detailed scaling results.

This paper concerns the study of the Allee effect on the dynamical behavior of a new class of generalized logistic maps. The fundamentals of the dynamics of this 4-parameter family of one-dimensional maps are presented. A complete classification of the nature and stability of its fixed points is provided. The main results relate to the Allee effect bifurcation: a new type of bifurcation introduced for this class of unimodal maps. A necessary and sufficient condition so that the Allee fixed point is a snap-back repeller is established. In addition, in the parameters space is defined an Allee’s effect region, which determines the existence of an essential extinction for the generalized logistic maps. Local and global bifurcations of generalized logistic maps are investigated.

Based on a nonlinear demand function and a market-clearing price, a cobweb model is introduced in this paper. A gradient mechanism that depends on the marginal profit is adopted to form the 1D discrete dynamic cobweb map. Analytical studies show that the map possesses four fixed points and only one attains the profit maximization. The stability/instability conditions for this fixed point are calculated and numerically studied. The numerical studies provide some insights about the cobweb map and confirm that this fixed point can be destabilized due to period-doubling bifurcation. The second part of the paper discusses the memory factor on the stabilization of the map’s equilibrium point. A gradient mechanism that depends on the marginal profit in the past two time steps is adopted to incorporate memory in the model. Hence, a 2D discrete dynamic map is constructed. Through theoretical and numerical investigations, we show that the equilibrium point of the 2D map becomes unstable due to two types of bifurcations that are Neimark–Sacker and flip bifurcations. Furthermore, the influence of the speed of adjustment parameter on the map’s equilibrium is analyzed via numerical experiments.

The study of dihedral f-tilings of the Euclidean sphere $S^2$ by triangles and $r$-sided regular polygons was initiated in 2004 where the case $r=4$ was considered [5]. In a subsequent paper [1], the study of all spherical f-tilings by triangles and $r$-sided regular polygons, for any $r\ge 5$, was described. Later on, in [3], the classification of all f-tilings of $S^2$ whose prototiles are an equilateral triangle and an isosceles triangle is obtained. The algebraic and combinatorial description of spherical f-tilings by equilateral triangles and scalene triangles of angles $\beta$, $\gamma$ and $\delta$ $(\beta>\gamma>\delta)$ whose edge adjacency is performed by the side opposite to $\beta$ was done in [4]. In this paper we extend these results considering the edge adjacency performed by the side opposite to $\delta$.

AbstractWe consider uncountable products of nontrivial compact, convex subsets of normed linear spaces. We show that these products do not have the complete invariance property i.e. they include a nonempty, closed subset which is not a fixed point set (i.e. the set of all fixed points) for any continuous mapping from the product into itself. In particular we give an answer to W.Weiss' question whether uncountable powers of the unit interval have the complete invariance property.

Let I be the unit interval [0, 1] of the real line. For integers k ≥ 1 and n ≥ 2, we construct simple piecewise monotonic expanding maps Fk, n in C0 (I, I) with the following three properties: (1) The positive integer n is an expanding constant for Fk, n for all k; (2) The topological entropy of Fk, n is greater than or equal to log n for all k; (3) Fk, n has periodic points of least period 2k · 3, but no periodic point of least period 2k−1 (2m+1) for any positive integer m. This is in contrast to the fact that there are expanding (but not piecewise monotonic) maps in C0(I, I) with very large expanding constants which have exactly one fixed point, say, at x = 1, but no other periodic point.

The mobility of a linkage is determined by the constraints imposed on its members. The constraints define the configuration space (c-space) variety as the geometric entity in which the finite mobility of a linkage is encoded. The instantaneous motions are determined by the constraints, rather than by the c-space geometry. Shaky linkages are prominent examples that exhibit a higher instantaneous than finite DOF even in regular configurations. Inextricably connected to the mobility are kinematic singularities that are reflected in a change of the instantaneous DOF. The local analysis of a linkage, aiming at determining the instantaneous and finite mobility in a given configuration, hence needs to consider the c-space geometry as well as the constraint system. A method for the local analysis is presented based on a higher-order local approximation of the c-space adopting the concept of the tangent cone to a variety. The latter is the best local approximation of the c-space in a general configuration. It thus allows for investigating the mobility in regular as well as singular configurations. Therewith the c-space is locally represented as an algebraic variety whose degree is the necessary approximation order. In regular configurations the tangent cone is the tangent space. The method is generally applicable and computationally simple. It allows for a classification of linkages as overconstrained and underconstrained, and to identify singularities.

An action of a group, G, on a surface, F, consists of a homomorphismø: G → Homeo (F).We will restrict our discussion to finite groups acting on closed, connected, orientable surfaces, with ø(g) orientation-preserving for all g ε G. In addition we will consider only effective (ø is injective) free actions. Free means that ø(g) is fixed-point-free for all g ε G, g ≠ 1. This paper addresses the classification of such actions.
