Group reduction, formulas solutions and asymptotic behavior of a class of fourth order difference equations

Abstract

The symmetry method is a powerful and systematic approach for solving difference equations. It leverages the concept of transformations that leave a difference equation invariant, simplifying its structure and often reducing the equation to a solvable form. In this paper, the symmetry method is employed to study some class of difference equations. Using analytical techniques and computational tools, we derive explicit solutions for these equations and establish conditions for the existence of periodic solutions. Stability analysis is performed to identify non-hyperbolic points. Furthermore, some asymptotic properties of the difference equations are explored, with results and graphs illustrating how initial conditions and parameter values influence the behavior of the solutions.

Effective equidistribution of orbits under semisimple groups on congruence quotients

We prove an effective equidistribution result for periodic orbits of semisimple groups on congruence quotients of an ambient semisimple group.This extends a previous work of Einsiedler, Margulis and Venkatesh. The main new feature is that we allow for periodic orbits of semisimple groups with nontrivial centralizer in the ambient group. Our proof uses crucially an effective closing lemma from work of the author with Lindenstrauss, Margulis,Mohammadi, and Shah.

Generalized entropy of measure-induced maps

A classical result by E. Glasner and B. Weiss states that the topological entropy of a map $f$ is zero if and only if the topological entropy of its measure-induced map $f_*$ is zero, where $f_*$ is defined as the push-forward of a measure. In this work, we use generalized entropy to distinguish the complexity of these maps and prove that the measure-induced map is much more complex than the original map. Moreover, we introduce the generalized mean dimension, an invariant that is useful for distinguishing dynamical systems with zero mean dimension, including those with the small-boundary property, and we show a relationship between this new invariant and generalized entropy.

The endpoint problem for $\varepsilon$-hypercyclicity

For a fixed $0<\varepsilon<1$, F. Bayart asked in 2024 whether there exists an operator $T$ such that, for every $0<δ<1$, $T$ is $δ$-hypercyclic if and only if $δ\in[\varepsilon,1)$. We answer this question affirmatively by constructing a weighted backward shift on $\ell_2(\mathbb N_0,\ell_2(\mathbb N_0))$ with this property.
