On a Theorem of Dubins and Freedman

Under a notion of splitting the existence of a unique invariant probability, and a geometric rate of convergence to it in an appropriate metric, are established for Markov processes on a general state space S generated by iterations of i.i.d. maps on S. As corollaries we derive extensions of earlier results of Dubins and Freedman;⁽¹⁷⁾ Yahav;⁽³⁰⁾ and Bhattacharya and Lee⁽⁶⁾ for monotone maps. The general theorem applies in other contexts as well. It is also shown that the Dubins–Freedman result on the necessity of splitting in the case of increasing maps does not hold for decreasing maps, although the sufficiency part holds for both. In addition, the asymptotic stationarity of the process generated by i.i.d. nondecreasing maps is established without the requirement of continuity. Finally, the theory is applied to the random iteration of two (nonmonotone) quadratic maps each with two repelling fixed points and an attractive period-two orbit.

Bifurcations of Periodic Points of Holomorphic Maps From C2 into C2

Let F:Cⁿ Cⁿ be a holomorphic map, F^k be the kth iterate ofF, and p Cⁿ be a periodic point of F of period k. That is,F^k(p) = p, but for any positive integer j with j < k, F^j(p) p. If p is hyperbolic, namely if DF^k(p) has no eigenvalue ofmodulus 1, then it is well known that the dynamical behaviourof F is stable near the periodic orbit = {p, F(p),..., F^k–1(p)}.But if is not hyperbolic, the dynamical behaviour of F near may be very complicated and unstable. In this case, a veryinteresting bifurcational phenomenon may occur even though may be the only periodic orbit in some neighbourhood of : forgiven M N\{1}, there may exist a C^r-arc {F_t: t [0,1]} (wherer N or r = ) in the space H(Cⁿ) of holomorphic maps from Cⁿinto Cⁿ, such that F₀ = F and, for t (0,1], F_t has an Mk-periodicorbit _t with as t 0. Theperiod thus increases by a factor M under a C^r-small perturbation!If such an F_t does exist, then , as well as p, is said to beM-tupling bifurcational. This definition is independent of r. For the above F, there may exist a C^r-arc in H(Cⁿ), with t [0,1], such that and, for t (0,1], has two distinct k-periodic orbits _t,1 and _t,2 with d(_t,i, ) 0 as t 0 for i = 1,2. If such an does exist, then , as well as p, is said to be 1-tupling bifurcational. In recent decades, there have been many papers and remarkableresults which deal with period doubling bifurcations of periodicorbits of parametrized maps. L. Block and D. Hart pointed outthat period M-tupling bifurcations cannot occur for M >2 in the 1-dimensional case. There are examples showing thatfor any M N, period M-tupling bifurcations can occur in higher-dimensionalcases. An M-tupling bifurcational periodic orbit as defined here actsas a critical orbit which leads to period M-tupling bifurcationsin some parametrized maps. The main result of this paper isthe following. Theorem. Let k N and M N, and let F: C² C² be a holomorphicmap with k-periodic point p. Then p is M-tupling bifurcationalif and only if DF^k(p) has a non-zero periodic point of periodM. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 32H50, 58F14.     

Localized defects in classical one-dimensional models

Several aspects of localized defects in the Frenkel-Kontorova, classicalXY chain and analogous models with a finite range of interactions are discussed from a general point of view. Precise definitions are given for defect phase shifts (charges) and for creation, pinning, and interaction energies. Corresponding definitions are also provided for interfaces (localized regions separating two phases). For the nearest-neighbor Frenkel-Kontorova model, the various defect energies are related to areas enclosed by contours joining heteroclinic points of the area-preserving map generated by the conditions of mechanical equilibrium.     

Dynamics of oscillators with periodic dichotomous noise

The dynamics of bistable oscillators driven by periodic dichotomous noise is described. The stochastic differential equation governing the flow implies smooth trajectories between noise switching events. The dynamics of the two-branched map induced by this flow is a Markov process. Harmonic and quartic models of the bistable potential are studied in the overdamped limit. In the linear (harmonic) case the dynamics can be reduced to a stochastic one-dimensional map with two branches. The moments decay exponentially in this case, although the invariant measure may be multifractal. For strong damping, relaxation induces a cascade leading to a Cantor set and anomalous decay of the density in this case is modeled by a Markov chain. For the physically more realistic case of a quartic potential many additional features arise since the contraction factor is distance dependent. By tuning the barrier-height parameter in the quartic potential, noise-induced transition rates with the characteristics of intermittency are found.

Local convergence of some iterative methods for generalized equations

We study generalized equations of the following form:

(render)

0f(x)+g(x)+F(x),

where f is Fréchet differentiable in a neighborhood of a solution x^* of (*) and g is Fréchet differentiable at x^* and where F is a set-valued map acting in Banach spaces. We prove the existence of a sequence (x_k) satisfying

which is super-linearly convergent to a solution of (*). We also present other versions of this iterative procedure that have superlinear and quadratic convergence, respectively.     

序列覆盖的闭映射保持可度量性

设f:X→Y是连续的满映射. f称为序列覆盖映射,若{y})是Y中的收敛序列,则存在X中的收敛序列{xn},使得每一xn∈f-1(yn);f称为1序列覆盖映射,若对于每-y∈Y,存在x∈f-1(y),使得如果{yn}是Y中收敛于点y的序列,则有X中收敛于点x的序列{xn},使得每一xn∈f-1(yn).本文研究度量空间序列覆盖的闭映射之构造,否定地回答了Topology and its Applications上提出的一个问题.
