Abstract This paper is part of a program to understand the parameter spaces of dynamical systems generated by meromorphic functions with finitely many singular values. We give a full description of the parameter space for a specific family based on the exponential function that has precisely two finite asymptotic values and one attracting fixed point. It represents a step beyond the previous work by Goldberg and Keen [The mapping class group of a generic quadratic rational map and automorphisms of the 2-shift. Invent. Math.101(2) (1990), 335–372] on degree two rational functions with analogous constraints: two critical values and an attracting fixed point. What is interesting and promising for pushing the general program even further is that, despite the presence of the essential singularity, our new functions exhibit a dynamic structure as similar as one could hope to the rational case, and that the philosophy of the techniques used in the rational case could be adapted.

A new mechanism to explain the first order ferroelastic—ferroelectric transition in Terbium Molybdate (TMO) is presented. From group theory analysis it is shown that in the two-dimensional parameter space ordering along either an axis or a diagonal is forbidden. These symmetry-imposed singularities are found to make the unique stable fixed point not accessible for TMO. A continuous transition even if allowed within Landau theory is thus impossible once fluctuations are included. The TMO transition is therefore always first order. This explanation is supported by experimental results.

ABSTRACTWe consider the stationary solution for the Ca2+ concentration near a point Ca2+ source describing a single-channel Ca2+ nanodomain, in the presence of a single mobile Ca2+ buffer with one-to-one Ca2+ binding. We present computationally efficient approximants that estimate stationary single-channel Ca2+ nanodomains with great accuracy in broad regions of parameter space. The presented approximants have a functional form that combines rational and exponential functions, which is similar to that of the well-known Excess Buffer Approximation and the linear approximation, but with parameters estimated using two novel (to our knowledge) methods. One of the methods involves interpolation between the short-range Taylor series of the buffer concentration and its long-range asymptotic series in inverse powers of distance from the channel. Although this method has already been used to find Padé (rational-function) approximants to single-channel Ca2+ and buffer concentration, extending this method to interpolants combining exponential and rational functions improves accuracy in a significant fraction of the relevant parameter space. A second method is based on the variational approach, and involves a global minimization of an appropriate functional with respect to parameters of the chosen approximations. Extensive parameter sensitivity analysis is presented, comparing these two methods with previously developed approximants. Apart from increased accuracy, the strength of these approximants is that they can be extended to more realistic buffers with multiple binding sites characterized by cooperative Ca2+ binding, such as calmodulin and calretinin.STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCEMathematical and computational modeling plays an important role in the study of local Ca2+ signals underlying vesicle exocysosis, muscle contraction and other fundamental physiological processes. Closed-form approximations describing steady-state distribution of Ca2+ in the vicinity of an open Ca2+ channel have proved particularly useful for the qualitative modeling of local Ca2+ signals. We present simple and efficient approximants for the Ca2+ concentration in the presence of a mobile Ca2+ buffer, which achieve great accuracy over a wide range of model parameters. Such approximations provide an efficient method for estimating Ca2+ and buffer concentrations without resorting to numerical simulations, and allow to study the qualitative dependence of nanodomain Ca2+ distribution on the buffer’s Ca2+ binding properties and its diffusivity.

Abstract We prove a stratification result for certain families of n-dimensional (complete algebraic) multiplicative character sums. The character sums we consider are sums of products of r multiplicative characters evaluated at rational functions, and the families (with nr parameters) are obtained by allowing each of the r rational functions to be replaced by an “offset”, that is, a translate, of itself. For very general such families, we show that the stratum of the parameter space on which the character sum has maximum weight $n+j$ has codimension at least j⌊(r − 1)/2(n − 1)⌋ for 1 ≤ j ≤ n − 1 and ⌈nr/2⌉ for j = n. This result is used to obtain multivariate Burgess bounds in joint work with Lillian Pierce.

In this paper a particular loss network consisting of two links with C1 and C2 circuits, respectively, and two fixed routes, is investigated. A call on route 1 uses a circuit from both links, and a call on route 2 uses a circuit from only the second link. Calls requesting routes 1 and 2 arrive as independent Poisson streams. A call requesting route 1 is blocked and lost if there are no free circuits on either link, and a call requesting route 2 is blocked and lost if there is no free circuit on the second link. Otherwise the call is connected and holds a circuit from each link on its route for the holding period of the call.The case in which the capacities C1, and C2, and the traffic intensities v1, and v2, all become large of O(N) where N » 1, but with their ratios fixed, is considered. The loss probabilities L1 and L2 for calls requesting routes 1 and 2, respectively, are investigated. The asymptotic behavior of L1 and L2 as N→ ∞ is determined with the help of double contour integral representations and saddlepoint approximations. The results differ in various regions of the parameter space (C1, C2, v1, v2). In some of these results the loss probabilities are given in terms of the Erlang loss function, with appropriate arguments, to within an exponentially small relative error. The results provide new information when the loss probabilities are exponentially small in N. This situation is of practical interest, e.g. in cellular systems, and in asynchronous transfer mode networks, where very small loss probabilities are desired.The accuracy of the Erlang fixed-point approximations to the loss probabilities is also investigated. In particular, it is shown that the fixed-point approximation E2 to L2 is inaccurate in a certain region of the parameter space, since L2 « E2 there. On the other hand, in some regions of the parameter space the fixed-point approximations to both L1 and L2 are accurate to within an exponentially small relative error.

AbstractWe study transcendental entire mapsfof finite order, such that all the singularities off−1are contained in a compact subset of the immediate basinBof an attracting fixed point off. Then the Julia set offconsists of disjoint curves tending to infinity (hairs), attached to the unique point accessible fromB(endpoint of the hair). We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of endpoints of the hairs is equal to 2, while the union of the hairs without endpoints has Hausdorff dimension 1, which generalizes the result for exponential maps. Moreover, we show that for every transcendental entire map of finite order from class(i.e. with bounded set of singularities) the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set is equal to 2.

This paper is devoted to an analysis on locating and counting satellite components born along the stability circle in the parameter space for a family of Jarratt-like iterative methods. An elementary theory of plane geometric curves is pursued to locate bifurcation points of such satellite components. In addition, the theory of Farey sequence is adopted to count the number of the satellite components as well as to characterize relationships between the bifurcation points. A linear stability theory on local bifurcations is developed based upon a small perturbation about the fixed point of the iterative map with a control parameter. Some properties of fixed and critical points under the Möbius conjugacy map are investigated. Theories and examples on locating and counting bifurcation points of satellite components in the parameter space are presented to analyze the bifurcation behavior underlying the dynamics behind the iterative map.

The influence of weak dissipation and its consequences in a two-dimensional mapping are studied. The mapping is parametrized by an exponent γ in one of the dynamical variables and by a parameter δ which denotes the amount of the dissipation. It is shown that for different values of γ the structure of the phase space of the nondissipative model is replaced by a large number of attractors. The approach to the attracting fixed point is characterized both analytically and numerically. The attracting fixed point exhibits a very complicated basin of attraction.

AbstractWe consider the natural$A_{\infty }$-structure on the$\mathrm{Ext}$-algebra$\mathrm{Ext}^*(G,G)$associated with the coherent sheaf$G=\mathcal{O}_C\oplus \mathcal{O}_{p_1}\oplus \cdots \oplus \mathcal{O}_{p_n}$on a smooth projective curve$C$, where$p_1,\ldots,p_n\in C$are distinct points. We study the homotopy class of the product$m_3$. Assuming that$h^0(p_1+\cdots +p_n)=1$, we prove that$m_3$is homotopic to zero if and only if$C$is hyperelliptic and the points$p_i$are Weierstrass points. In the latter case we show that$m_4$is not homotopic to zero, provided the genus of$C$is greater than$1$. In the case$n=g$we prove that the$A_{\infty }$-structure is determined uniquely (up to homotopy) by the products$m_i$with$i\le 6$. Also, in this case we study the rational map$\mathcal{M}_{g,g}\to \mathbb{A}^{g^2-2g}$associated with the homotopy class of$m_3$. We prove that for$g\ge 6$it is birational onto its image, while for$g\le 5$it is dominant. We also give an interpretation of this map in terms of tangents to$C$in the canonical embedding and in the projective embedding given by the linear series$|2(p_1+\cdots +p_g)|$.
