Previously published (2016) Forever More Publishing. Kiri has had the same dream for four years since she was twelve. She travels to another planet, where she meets a boy who teaches her to fight. Always bruised come morning, she knows it's no ordinary dream. After two years of no longer dreaming of Cax, she questions if she hadn't made him up. Then spaceships appear all over the world, and the boy she once knew is among the alien invaders. Orphaned and alone, Kiri uses the skills Cax had given her against his own people, wishing to hurt them as they'd hurt her. The flames of rebellion are fanned ever higher, and Kiri has a role to play that could cost her everything. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book explores recent developments in the dynamics of invertible circle maps, a rich and captivating topic in one-dimensional dynamics. It focuses on two main classes of invertible dynamical systems on the circle: global diffeomorphisms and smooth homeomorphisms with critical points. The latter is the book's core, reflecting the authors' recent research interests. Organized into four parts and 14 chapters, the content covers rigid rotations, circle homeomorphisms, and the concept of rotation number in the first part. The second part delves |

into circle diffeomorphisms, presenting classical results. The third part introduces multicritical circle maps—smooth homeomorphisms of the circle with a finite number of critical points. The fourth and final part centers on renormalization theory, analyzing the fine geometric structure of orbits of multicritical circle maps. Complete proofs for several fundamental results in circle dynamics are provided throughout. The book concludes with a list of open questions. Primarily intended for graduate students and young researchers in dynamical systems, this book is also suitable for mathematicians from other fields with an interest in the subject. Prerequisites include familiarity with the content of a standard graduate course in real analysis, along with some understanding of ergodic theory and dynamical systems. Basic knowledge of complex analysis is needed for specific chapters. |
