Symbolic Dynamics over Free Groups
Abstract
Symbolic dynamics is used to model functions acting on complex topological
spaces. This work explores the symbolic dynamics over a non-Abelian
group, the free group on two generators. We begin by introducing the
fundamentals of symbolic dynamics and Cayley graph coloring. We then
explain the relationship between these fields and characterize classes
of periodic points of the full shift over the free group.

Dynamical Systems and Circle Maps
Metallo, Steven (2014-09-18)Dynamics is a branch of mathematics that studies how systems change with time, and this can be done using function iteration or di erential equations. Our focus is on the dynamics of the circle map function, fn(x) = nx ...
