In this note we characterize chaotic functions (in the sense of Li and Yorke) with topological entropy zero in terms of the structure of their maximal scrambled sets. In the interim a description of all maximal scrambled sets of these functions is also found.
For a piecewise monotone map f on a compact interval I, we characterize the ω-limit sets that are bounded away from the post-critical points of f. If the pre-critical points of f are dense, for example when f is locally eventually onto, and Λ ⊂ I is closed, invariant and contains no post-critical point, then Λ is the ω-limit set of a point in I if and only if Λ is internally chain transitive in the sense of Hirsch, Smith and Zhao; the proof relies upon symbolic dynamics. By identifying points of...
This paper presents a sufficient condition for a continuum in ℝn to be embeddable in ℝn in such a way that its image is not an attractor of any iterated function system. An example of a continuum in ℝ2 that is not an attractor of any weak iterated function system is also given.
We show that a metric space X admits no sensitive commutative group action if it satisfies the following two conditions: (1) X has property S, that is, for each ε > 0 there exists a cover of X which consists of finitely many connected sets with diameter less than ε; (2) X contains a free n-network, that is, there exists a nonempty open set W in X having no isolated point and n ∈ ℕ such that, for any nonempty open set U ⊂ W, there is a nonempty connected open set V ⊂ U such that the boundary ...
We classify the braid types that can occur for finite unions of periodic orbits of diffeomorphisms of surfaces of genus one with zero topological entropy.
We work within the one-parameter family of symmetric tent maps, where the slope is the parameter. Given two such tent maps , with periodic critical points, we show that the inverse limit spaces and are not homeomorphic when a ≠ b. To obtain our result, we define topological substructures of a composant, called “wrapping points” and “gaps”, and identify properties of these substructures preserved under a homeomorphism.
Let be a field, and the set of monomials of . It is well known that the set of monomial ideals of is in a bijective correspondence with the set of all subsemiflows of the -semiflow . We generalize this to the case of term ideals of , where is a commutative Noetherian ring. A term ideal of is an ideal of generated by a family of terms , where and are integers .
We obtain an elementary geometrical proof of the classical Perron-Frobenius theorem for non-negative matrices A by using the Brouwer fixed-point theorem and by studying the dynamics of the action of A on convenient subsets of Rn.
