We consider weakly convergent sequences of approximate H-surface maps defined in the plane with their tension fields bounded in Lp for p > 4/3, and establish an energy quantization that accounts for the loss of their energies by the sum of energies over finitely many nontrivial bubbles maps on R2. As a direct consequence, we establish the energy identity at finite singular time to their H-surfa...

Abstract : A route to chaos is studied in 3-dimensional maps of logistic type. Mechanisms of period doubling for invariant closed curves (ICC) are found for specific 3-dimensional maps. These bifurcations cannot be observed for ICC in the 2-dimensional case. When the parameter of the system is modified, localized oscillations occur on the ICC that give rise to weakly chaotic rings, then to chao...

The spectral properties of the Frobenius-Perron operator of one-dimensional maps are studied when approaching a weakly intermittent situation. Numerical investigation of a particular family of maps shows that the spectrum becomes extremely dense and the eigenfunctions become concentrated in the vicinity of the intermittent fixed point. Analytical considerations generalize the results to a broad...

Saint Raymond asked whether continuously differentiable maps with isolated critical points are necessarily open in infinite dimensional (Hilbert) spaces. We answer this question negatively by constructing counterexamples various settings including all weakly separable
