NUMBER OF PERIODIC POINTS OF CONGRUENTIAL MONOMIAL DYNAMICAL SYSTEMSBashir, Nazir, Islam, MD.Hasirul January 2012 (has links)
In this thesis we study the number of periodic points of congruential monomial dynamical system. By concept of index calculus we are able to calculate the number of solutions for congruential equations. We give formula for the number of r-periodic points over prime power. Then we discuss about calculating the total number of periodic points and cycles of length r for prime power.

Compact Dynamical FoliationsCarrasco Correa, Pablo Daniel 09 June 2011 (has links)
According to the work of Dennis Sullivan, there exists a smooth flow on the 5-sphere all of whose orbits are periodic although there is no uniform bound on their periods. The question addressed in this thesis is whether such an example can occur in the partially hyperbolic context. That is, does there exist a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism of a compact manifold such that all the leaves of its center foliation are compact although there is no uniform bound for their volumes. We will show that the answer to the previous question under the very mild hypothesis of dynamical coherence is no.
The thesis is organized as follows. In the first chapter we give the necessary background and results in partially hyperbolic dynamics needed for the rest of the work, studying in particular the geometry of the center foliation. Chapter two is devoted to a general discussion of compact foliations. We give proof or sketches of all the relevant results used. Chapter three is the core of the thesis, where we establish the non existence of Sullivan's type of examples in the partially hyperbolic domain, and generalize to diffeomorphisms whose center foliation has arbitrary dimension. The last chapter is devoted to applications of the results of chapter three, where in particular it is proved that if the center foliation of a dynamically coherent partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism is compact and without holonomy, then it is plaque expansive.

Entropy measures in dynamical systems and their viability in characterizing bipedal walking gait dynamicsLeverick, Graham 11 September 2013 (has links)
Entropy measures have been widely used to quantify the complexity of theoretical and experimental dynamical systems. In this thesis, two novel entropy measures are developed based on using coarse quantization to classify and compare dynamical features within a time series; quantized dynamical entropy (QDE) and a quantized approximation of sample entropy (QASE). Following this, comprehensive guidelines for the quantification of complexity are presented based on a detailed investigation of the performance characteristics of the two developed measures and three existing measures; permutation entropy, sample entropy and fuzzy entropy. The sensitivity of the considered entropy measures to changes in dynamics was assessed using the case study of characterizing bipedal walking gait dynamics. Based on the analysis conducted, it was found that sample entropy and fuzzy entropy, while computationally inefficient, provide the best overall performance. In instances where computational efficiency is vital, QDE and QASE serve as viable alternatives to existing methods.
