On some Markov matrices arising from the generalized Collatz mapping
We compare four different notions of chaos in zero-dimensional systems (subshifts). We provide examples showing that in that case positive topological entropy does not imply strong chaos, strong chaos does not imply complicated dynamics at all, and ω-chaos does not imply Li-Yorke chaos.
We study the spectral stability of solitary wave solutions to the nonlinear Dirac equation in one dimension. We focus on the Dirac equation with cubic nonlinearity, known as the Soler model in (1+1) dimensions and also as the massive Gross-Neveu model. Presented numerical computations of the spectrum of linearization at a solitary wave show that the solitary waves are spectrally stable. We corroborate our results by finding explicit expressions for...
Several results on stability in impulsive dynamical systems are proved. The first main result gives equivalent conditions for stability of a compact set. In particular, a generalization of Ura's theorem to the case of impulsive systems is shown. The second main theorem says that under some additional assumptions every component of a stable set is stable. Also, several examples indicating possible complicated phenomena in impulsive systems are presented.
We show that all periods of periodic points forced by a pattern for interval maps are preserved for high-dimensional maps if the multidimensional perturbation is small. We also show that if an interval map has a fixed point associated with a homoclinic-like orbit then any small multidimensional perturbation has periodic points of all periods.
We extend the notion of Dobrushin coefficient of ergodicity to positive contractions defined on the L¹-space associated with a finite von Neumann algebra, and in terms of this coefficient we prove stability results for L¹-contractions.
This paper is concerned with strong chain recurrence introduced by Easton. We investigate the depth of the transfinite sequence of nested, closed invariant sets obtained by iterating the process of taking strong chain recurrent points, which is a related form of the central sequence due to Birkhoff. We also note the existence of a Lyapunov function which is decreasing off the strong chain recurrent set. As an application, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the coincidence of the strong...
A flow of an open manifold is very complicated even if its orbit space is Hausdorff. In this paper, we define the strongly Hausdorff flows and consider their dynamical properties in terms of the orbit spaces. By making use of this characterization, we finally classify all the strongly Hausdorff -flows.
We discuss the classification up to orbit equivalence of inclusions 𝑆 ⊂ ℛ of measured ergodic discrete hyperfinite equivalence relations. In the case of type III relations, the orbit equivalence classes of such inclusions of finite index are completely classified in terms of triplets consisting of a transitive permutation group G on a finite set (whose cardinality is the index of 𝑆 ⊂ ℛ), an ergodic nonsingular ℝ-flow V and a homomorphism of G to the centralizer of V.
Sturmian words are infinite words that have exactly n+1 factors of length n for every positive integer n. A Sturmian word sα,p is also defined as a coding over a two-letter alphabet of the orbit of point ρ under the action of the irrational rotation Rα : x → x + α (mod 1). A substitution fixes a Sturmian word if and only if it is invertible. The main object of the present paper is to investigate Rauzy fractals associated with two-letter invertible substitutions. As an application, we give...
We use Beurling estimates and Zdunik's theorem to prove that the support of a lamination of the circle corresponding to a connected polynomial Julia set has zero length, unless f is conjugate to a Chebyshev polynomial. Equivalently, except for the Chebyshev case, the biaccessible points in the connected polynomial Julia set have zero harmonic measure.
We give a positive answer to the problem of existence of smooth weakly mixing but not mixing flows on some surfaces. More precisely, on each compact connected surface whose Euler characteristic is even and negative we construct smooth weakly mixing flows which are disjoint in the sense of Furstenberg from all mixing flows and from all Gaussian flows.
