Continuity of Core Entropy of Quadratic Polynomials
نویسنده
چکیده
The core entropy of polynomials, recently introduced by W. Thurston, is a dynamical invariant which can be defined purely in combinatorial terms, and provides a useful tool to study parameter spaces of polynomials. The theory of core entropy extends the entropy theory for real unimodal maps to complex polynomials: the real segment is replaced by an invariant tree, known as the Hubbard tree, which lives inside the filled Julia set. We prove that the core entropy of quadratic polynomials varies continuously as a function of the external angle in parameter space, answering a question of Thurston.

Analysis of Laminated Soft Core Sandwich Plate Having Interfacial Imperfections by an Efficient C0 FE Model
An efficient C0 continuous two dimensional (2D) finite element (FE) model is developed based on a refined higher order shear deformation theory (RHSDT) for the static analysis of soft core sandwich plate having imperfections at the layer interfaces. In this (RHSDT) theory, the in-plane displacement field for the face sheets and the core is obtained by superposing a globally varying cubic displa...
متن کاملSemi-continuity of Siegel Disks under Parabolic Implosion
We transfer the lower semi-continuity of Siegel disks with fixed Brjuno type rotation numbers to geometric limits. Here, we restrict to Lavaurs maps associated to quadratic polynomials with a parabolic fixed point.
متن کاملA Characterization of the Weakly Continuous Polynomials in the Method of Compensated Compactness
We present a sufficient condition for weak continuity in the method of compensated compactness. The condition links weak continuity to the structure of the wave cone and the characteristic set for polynomials of degree greater than two. The condition applies to all the classical examples of weakly continuous functions and generalizes the Quadratic Theorem and the Wedge Product Theorem. In fact,...
متن کاملTopological Entropy of Quadratic Polynomials and Dimension of Sections of the Mandelbrot Set
A fundamental theme in holomorphic dynamics is that the local geometry of parameter space (e.g. the Mandelbrot set) near a parameter reflects the geometry of the Julia set, hence ultimately the dynamical properties, of the corresponding dynamical system. We establish a new instance of this phenomenon in terms of entropy. Indeed, we prove an “entropy formula” relating the entropy of a polynomial...
متن کاملEntropy, dimension and combinatorial moduli for one-dimensional dynamical systems
The goal of this thesis is to provide a unified framework in which to analyze the dynamics of two seemingly unrelated families of one-dimensional dynamical systems, namely the family of quadratic polynomials and continued fractions. We develop a combinatorial calculus to describe the bifurcation set of both families and prove they are isomorphic. As a corollary, we establish a series of results...
