Mitsuhiro Shishikura
is a Japanese mathematician working in the field of complex dynamics. He is professor at Kyoto University in Japan. Shishikura became internationally recognized for two of his earliest contributions, both of which solved long-standing open problems. * In his Master's thesis, he proved a conjectured of Fatou from 1920 by showing that a rational function of degree d\, has at most 2d-2\, nonrepelling periodic cycles. * He proved that the boundary of the Mandelbrot set has Hausdorff dimension two, confirming a conjecture stated by Mandelbrot and Milnor. For his results, he was awarded the Salem Prize in 1992, and the Iyanaga Spring Prize of the Mathematical Society of Japan in 1995. More recent results of Shishikura include * ''(in joint work with Kisaka)'' the existence of a transcendental entire function with a doubly connected wandering domain, answering a question of Baker from 1985; * ''(in joint work with Inou)'' a study of ''near-parabolic renormalization'' which is es ...

Wandering Domain
In dynamical systems and ergodic theory, the concept of a wandering set formalizes a certain idea of movement and mixing. When a dynamical system has a wandering set of non-zero measure, then the system is a dissipative system. This is the opposite of a conservative system, to which the Poincaré recurrence theorem applies. Intuitively, the connection between wandering sets and dissipation is easily understood: if a portion of the phase space "wanders away" during normal time-evolution of the system, and is never visited again, then the system is dissipative. The language of wandering sets can be used to give a precise, mathematical definition to the concept of a dissipative system. The notion of wandering sets in phase space was introduced by Birkhoff in 1927. Wandering points A common, discrete-time definition of wandering sets starts with a map f:X\to X of a topological space ''X''. A point x\in X is said to be a wandering point if there is a neighbourhood ''U'' of ''x'' an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

University Of Tokyo Faculty
A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines. Universities typically offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. In the United States, the designation is reserved for colleges that have a graduate school. The word ''university'' is derived from the Latin ''universitas magistrorum et scholarium'', which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". The first universities were created in Europe by Catholic Church monks. The University of Bologna (''Università di Bologna''), founded in 1088, is the first university in the sense of: *Being a high degree-awarding institute. *Having independence from the ecclesiastic schools, although conducted by both clergy and non-clergy. *Using the word ''universitas'' (which was coined at its foundation). *Issuing secular and non-secular degrees: grammar, rhetoric, logic, theology, canon law, notarial law.Hunt Janin: "The university i ...

Tokyo (; ja, 東京, , ), officially the Tokyo Metropolis ( ja, 東京都, label=none, ), is the capital and List of cities in Japan, largest city of Japan. Formerly known as Edo, its metropolitan area () is the most populous in the world, with an estimated 37.468 million residents ; the city proper has a population of 13.99 million people. Located at the head of Tokyo Bay, the prefecture forms part of the Kantō region on the central coast of Honshu, Japan's largest island. Tokyo serves as Economy of Japan, Japan's economic center and is the seat of both the Government of Japan, Japanese government and the Emperor of Japan. Originally a fishing village named Edo, the city became politically prominent in 1603, when it became the seat of the Tokugawa shogunate. By the mid-18th century, Edo was one of the most populous cities in the world with a population of over one million people. Following the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the imperial capital in Kyoto was mov ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1960 Births
Year 196 ( CXCVI) was a leap year starting on Thursday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Dexter and Messalla (or, less frequently, year 949 ''Ab urbe condita''). The denomination 196 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years. Events By place Roman Empire * Emperor Septimius Severus attempts to assassinate Clodius Albinus but fails, causing Albinus to retaliate militarily. * Emperor Septimius Severus captures and sacks Byzantium; the city is rebuilt and regains its previous prosperity. * In order to assure the support of the Roman legion in Germany on his march to Rome, Clodius Albinus is declared Augustus by his army while crossing Gaul. * Hadrian's wall in Britain is partially destroyed.

Quasiconformal Mapping
In mathematical complex analysis, a quasiconformal mapping, introduced by and named by , is a homeomorphism between plane domains which to first order takes small circles to small ellipses of bounded eccentricity. Intuitively, let ''f'' : ''D'' → ''D''′ be an orientation-preserving homeomorphism between open sets in the plane. If ''f'' is continuously differentiable, then it is ''K''-quasiconformal if the derivative of ''f'' at every point maps circles to ellipses with eccentricity bounded by ''K''. Definition Suppose ''f'' : ''D'' → ''D''′ where ''D'' and ''D''′ are two domains in C. There are a variety of equivalent definitions, depending on the required smoothness of ''f''. If ''f'' is assumed to have continuous partial derivatives, then ''f'' is quasiconformal provided it satisfies the Beltrami equation for some complex valued Lebesgue measurable μ satisfying sup , μ, 0. Then ''f'' satisfies () precisely when it is a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Siegel Disc
Siegel disc is a connected component in the Fatou set where the dynamics is analytically conjugate to an irrational rotation. Description Given a holomorphic endomorphism f:S\to S on a Riemann surface S we consider the dynamical system generated by the iterates of f denoted by f^n=f\circ\stackrel\circ f. We then call the orbit \mathcal^+(z_0) of z_0 as the set of forward iterates of z_0. We are interested in the asymptotic behavior of the orbits in S (which will usually be \mathbb, the complex plane or \mathbb=\mathbb\cup\, the Riemann sphere), and we call S the phase plane or ''dynamical plane''. One possible asymptotic behavior for a point z_0 is to be a fixed point, or in general a ''periodic point''. In this last case f^p(z_0)=z_0 where p is the period and p=1 means z_0 is a fixed point. We can then define the ''multiplier'' of the orbit as \rho=(f^p)'(z_0) and this enables us to classify periodic orbits as ''attracting'' if , \rho, 1 and indifferent if \rho=1. Indifferent ...

Lebesgue Measure
In measure theory, a branch of mathematics, the Lebesgue measure, named after French mathematician Henri Lebesgue, is the standard way of assigning a measure to subsets of ''n''-dimensional Euclidean space. For ''n'' = 1, 2, or 3, it coincides with the standard measure of length, area, or volume. In general, it is also called ''n''-dimensional volume, ''n''-volume, or simply volume. It is used throughout real analysis, in particular to define Lebesgue integration. Sets that can be assigned a Lebesgue measure are called Lebesgue-measurable; the measure of the Lebesgue-measurable set ''A'' is here denoted by ''λ''(''A''). Henri Lebesgue described this measure in the year 1901, followed the next year by his description of the Lebesgue integral. Both were published as part of his dissertation in 1902. Definition For any interval I = ,b/math>, or I = (a, b), in the set \mathbb of real numbers, let \ell(I)= b - a denote its length. For any subset E\subseteq\mathbb, the Lebesgue oute ...
