Recent Publications



1. Playing Catchup with Iterated Exponentials.

(With Robert L. Devaney, Kresimir Josic, Monica Moreno Rocha, Yakov Shapiro, and Alex Frumoso)

In this paper we describe the global bifurcations in the Family F(z) = z^2 + c/z, i.e., the singular pertubation of z^2 obtained by adding a pole at the origin. To appear in The American Mathematical Monthly.



2. Sierpinski Curve Julia Sets and Singular Perturbations of Complex Polynomials.

(With Paul Blanchard, Robert L. Devaney, Daniel M. Look and Yakov Shapiro.)

In this paper we describe a family of rational maps of the complex plane that has infinitely many distinct parameter values for which the corresp onding Julia set is a Sierpinski Curve. Although all of these Julia Sets are homeomorphic, we prove that there are infiniltely many open sets in the parameter plane in which the corresponding maps on the Seirpinski Curve have different (non-conjugate) dynamics. To appear in Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems.

3.

Sierpinski Carpets and Gaskets as Julia Sets of Rational Maps

(With Paul Blanchard, Robert L. Devaney, Daniel Look, Monica Moreno Rocha and David Uminsky)

In this paper we discuss the dynamical and the parameter planes for the family of rational maps F(z)=z^2 + c/z^2. To Appear.


 

My Hobbies

My hobbies are playing Table Tennis, Tennis. I love to play Caroms with my wife. Caroms is a very popular game in India. Its very similar to Pool, instead of sticks to hit the balls we use fingers to hit the coins. Its a fun game. Regarding Tanle Tennis, I am playing this particular game for past 16 years. Presently I am playing for B.U. B.U is placed 2nd in the New England Championship, among 14 participating Teams.First time in the history of Boston University, Boston University Table Tennis is selected to play in the Nationals at Stanford University, April 9-11,2004. BU has Ranked #10 among 100 participating teams from all over USA. For more details and for my individual performence you can always click the link below.

I love to go on a endless drive, love to cook also.Trying to learn Guitar when ever I have free time.
