A strongly F-invariant pinched core strip that does not contain any arc of curve
In [1] the authors define the concept of pinched core strip. So far it has not been given an example of such an object that is strongly invariant under a quasi-periodic triangular function and it is not a curve. In this talk we will describe how to construct such an example.

Global linearization of periodic recurrences
We deal with m-periodic, n-th order difference equations and study whether they can be globally linearized. We give an affirmative answer when m = n+1 and for most of the known examples appearing in the literature. Our main tool is a refinement of the Montgomery-Bochner Theorem. We also prove some nice features of the (n + 3)-periodic Coxeter difference equations.

The Lotka-Volterra map and some problems of the number theory.
The Lotka-Volterra map is a transformation of the triangle with vertices (0,0),(4,0) and (4,0) given by formula F(x,y)=(x(4-x-y),xy). We show that properties of interior periodic orbits are closely related to some problems of the number theory. Some of these problems are open.

Generalization of Sturmian Words
Sturmian words are aperiodic words with the lowest possible complexity. No wonder they belong to the most studied infinite words and many equivalent definitions of Sturmian words havee been found out. In our contribution, we will consider the generalizations of their combinatorial definitions and properties to multiliteral alphabets. We will in particular explain the relations between such properties and we will mention interesting open questions. This is a joint work with Štěpán Starosta.

Extensions without increasing the entropy as a tool for entropy bounds problem
We show how extensions without increasing the entropy can be used to determine the infimum of topological entropies of all maps with a given property on a given space and present known as well as new results in this direction.

About the connectivity of the escaping set for entire transcendental maps
Since Eremenko's conjecture (all connected components of the escaping set for transcendental entire maps are unbounded) the study of the connectivity (or not) of the escaping set has been studied in different frameworks. Recently two main results has been proved: On one hand it has been found an example showing that the conjecture is not true even for entire maps in class B for which wall singular values are contained in a compact set (L. Rempe et al). On the other under certain hypotheses (precisely strongly subhyperbolicity) it has been shown that the escaping set is disconnected (H. Mihaljevic-Brandt). We finally discuss recent work about the connectivity of the escaping set for the complex exponential family.

On two and three periodic Lyness difference equations
We describe the sequences xn given by the non-autonomous second order Lyness difference equations xn+2=(an+xn+1)/xn, where an is either a 2-periodic or a 3-periodic sequence of positive values and the initial conditions x1,x2 are as well positive. We also show an interesting phenomenon of the discrete dynamical systems associated to some of these difference equations: the existence of one oscillation of their associated rotation number functions. This behavior does not appear for the autonomous Lyness difference equations.

On nowhere differentiable measure preserving maps
We present several known results on nowhere differentiable measure preserving interval maps and discuss their properties with respect to the topological entropy. Some open problems will also be stated.
