A note on the Morse homology for a class of functionals in Banach spaces involving the 2p-area functional
PublikacjaIn this paper we show how to construct Morse homology for an explicit class of functionals involving the 2p-area functional. The natural domain of definition of such functionals is the Banach space W_0^{1,2p}(\Omega), where p > n/2 and \Omega \subet R^n is a bounded domain with sufficiently smooth boundary. As W_0^{1,2p}(\Omega) is not isomorphic to its dual space,critical points of such functionals cannot be non-degenerate...

All but one expanding Lorenz maps with slope greater than or equal to $\sqrt 2$ are leo
PublikacjaWe prove that with only one exception, all expanding Lorenz maps $f\colon[0,1]\to[0,1]$ with the derivative $f'(x)\ge\sqrt{2}$ (apart from a finite set of points) are locally eventually onto. Namely, for each such $f$ and each nonempty open interval $J\subset(0,1)$ there is $n\in\N$ such that $[0,1)\subset f^n(J)$. The mentioned exception is the map $f_0(x)=\sqrt{2}x+(2-\sqrt{2})/2 \pmod 1$. Recall that $f$ is an expanding Lorenz...
