A point x^* which is mapped to itself under a map G, so that x^*=G(x^*). Such points are sometimes also called invariant points or fixed elements (Woods 1961). Stable fixed ...

Let x_0 be a rational number in the closed interval [0,1], and generate a sequence using the map x_(n+1)=2x_n (mod 1). (1) Then the number of periodic map orbits of period p ...

The winding number W(theta) of a map f(theta) with initial value theta is defined by W(theta)=lim_(n->infty)(f^n(theta)-theta)/n, which represents the average increase in the ...

The map-Airy distribution is a statistical distribution having probability density function and distribution function P(x) = 2e^(-2x^3/3)[xAi(x^2)-Ai^'(x^2)] (1) D(x) = (2) ...

Alexandrov's theorem addresses conditions under which a polygon will fold into a convex polyhedron (Malkevitch).

The function f(beta,z)|->z^((1+cosbeta+isinbeta)/2), illustrated above for beta=0.4.

If f:(X,A)->(Y,B) is homotopic to g:(X,A)->(Y,B), then f_*:H_n(X,A)->H_n(Y,B) and g_*:H_n(X,A)->H_n(Y,B) are said to be the induced maps.

The function f(x)=1-2|x|^(1/2) for x in [-1,1]. The natural invariant is rho(y)=1/2(1-y).

A generalized conformal mapping.

A mapping of a domain F:U->U to itself.
