Topological Markov chains with dicyclic dimension group.
A continuous map of the interval is chaotic iff there is an increasing sequence of nonnegative integers such that the topological sequence entropy of relative to , , is positive ([FS]). On the other hand, for any increasing sequence of nonnegative integers there is a chaotic map of the interval such that ([H]). We prove that the same results hold for maps of the circle. We also prove some preliminary results concerning topological sequence entropy for maps of general compact metric...
A subset S of a topological dynamical system (X,f) containing at least two points is called a scrambled set if for any x,y ∈ S with x ≠ y one has and , d being the metric on X. The system (X,f) is called Li-Yorke chaotic if it has an uncountable scrambled set. These notions were developed in the context of interval maps, in which the existence of a two-point scrambled set implies Li-Yorke chaos and many other chaotic properties. In the present paper we address several questions about scrambled...
