Topological sequence entropy for maps of the circle

Roman Hric (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A continuous map f of the interval is chaotic iff there is an increasing sequence of nonnegative integers T such that the topological sequence entropy of f relative to T , h T ( f ) , is positive ([FS]). On the other hand, for any increasing sequence of nonnegative integers T there is a chaotic map f of the interval such that h T ( f ) = 0 ([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...

Topological size of scrambled sets

François Blanchard, Wen Huang, L'ubomír Snoha (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

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 l i m i n f n d ( f ( x ) , f ( y ) ) = 0 and l i m s u p n d ( f ( x ) , f ( y ) ) > 0 , 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...
