During the last ten some years, many research works were devoted to the chaotic behavior of the weighted shift operator on the Köthe sequence space. In this note, a sufficient condition ensuring that the weighted shift operator $B_w^n:{\lambda }_p\left(A\right)\to {\lambda }_p\left(A\right)$ defined on the Köthe sequence space ${\lambda }_p\left(A\right)$ exhibits distributional $ϵ$-chaos for any $0<ϵ<\mathrm{diam}{\lambda }_p\left(A\right)$ and any $n\in \mathbb{N}$ is obtained. Under this assumption, the principal measure of $B_w^n$ is equal to 1. In particular, every Devaney chaotic shift operator exhibits distributional $ϵ$-chaos for any $0<ϵ<\mathrm{diam}{\lambda }_p\left(A\right)$.

We prove that an invertible zero-dimensional dynamical system has an invariant measure of maximal entropy if and only if it is an extension of an asymptotically h-expansive system of equal topological entropy.

In this paper we investigate numerous constructions of minimal systems from the point of view of $({ℱ}_1,{ℱ}_2)$-chaos (but most of our results concern the particular cases of distributional chaos of type $1$ and $2$). We consider standard classes of systems, such as Toeplitz flows, Grillenberger $K$-systems or Blanchard-Kwiatkowski extensions of the Chacón flow, proving that all of them are DC2. An example of DC1 minimal system with positive topological entropy is also introduced. The above mentioned results answer...

We study the entropy spectrum of Birkhoff averages and the dimension spectrum of Lyapunov exponents for piecewise monotone transformations on the interval. In general, these transformations do not have finite Markov partitions and do not satisfy the specification property. We characterize these multifractal spectra in terms of the Legendre transform of a suitably defined pressure function.
