Nakajima (2003) introduced a $t$-deformation of $q$-characters, $(q,t)$-characters for short, and their twisted multiplication through the geometry of quiver varieties. The Nakajima $(q,t)$-characters of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules satisfy a $t$-deformed $T$-system. The $T$-system is a discrete dynamical system that can be interpreted as a mutation relation in a cluster algebra in two different ways, depending on the choice of direction of evolution. In this paper, we show that the Nakajima $t$-deformed $T$-system of type $A_r$ forms a quantum mutation relation in a quantization of exactly one of the cluster algebra structures attached to the $T$-system.

Abstract Folded surfaces of origami tessellations have attracted much attention because they sometimes exhibit non-trivial behaviors. It is known that cylindrical folded surfaces of waterbomb tessellation called waterbomb tube can transform into wave-like surfaces, which is a unique phenomenon not observed on other tessellations. However, the theoretical reason why wave-like surfaces arise has been unclear. In this paper, we provide a kinematic model of waterbomb tube by parameterizing the geometry of a module of waterbomb tessellation and derive a recurrence relation between the modules. Through the visualization of the configurations of waterbomb tubes under the proposed kinematic model, we classify solutions into three classes: cylinder solution, wave-like solution, and finite solution. Furthermore, we give proof of the existence of a wave-like solution around one of the cylinder solutions by applying the knowledge of the discrete dynamical system to the recurrence relation.

Abstract The pentagram map is a discrete dynamical system defined on the space of polygons in the plane. In the 1st paper on the subject, Schwartz proved that the pentagram map produces from each convex polygon a sequence of successively smaller polygons that converges exponentially to a point. We investigate the limit point itself, giving an explicit description of its Cartesian coordinates as roots of certain degree three polynomials.

The continuous Bonhoeffer–van der Pol (BVP for short) oscillator is transformed into a map-based BVP model by using the forward Euler scheme. At first, the bifurcations and chaos of the map-based BVP model are investigated when the step size varies as a bifurcation parameter. By using the fast-slow decomposition technique, a two-parameter bifurcation diagram is obtained to give insight into the effect of the step size on bifurcations and chaos of the map-based BVP model. The investigation shows that the period-doubling bifurcation is dependent on the step size, while the saddle-node bifurcation is independent of the step size. Second, when the fast–slow decomposition technique cannot be used, we rigorously prove that in the map-based BVP model there exists chaos in the sense of Marotto when the discrete step size varies as a bifurcation parameter. These results show that the discrete step sizes play a vital role between the continuous-time dynamical system and the corresponding discrete dynamical system. Much attention should be paid on the step size when a map-based neuron model is used as an alternative to a continuous neuron model.

 Dynamical system is a mathematical formalization for any fixed rule that is described in time dependent fashion. The time can be measured by either of the number systems - integers, real numbers, complex numbers. A discrete dynamical system is a dynamical system whose state evolves over a state space in discrete time steps according to a fixed rule. This brief survey paper is concerned with the part of the work done by José Sousa Ramos [2] and some of his research students. We present the general theory of discrete dynamical systems and present results from applications to geometry, graph theory and synchronization. Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2018, 14(1): 35-51
