Relational quotients

Miodrag Sokić (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let 𝒦 be a class of finite relational structures. We define ℰ𝒦 to be the class of finite relational structures A such that A/E ∈ 𝒦, where E is an equivalence relation defined on the structure A. Adding arbitrary linear orderings to structures from ℰ𝒦, we get the class 𝒪ℰ𝒦. If we add linear orderings to structures from ℰ𝒦 such that each E-equivalence class is an interval then we get the class 𝒞ℰ[𝒦*]. We provide a list of Fraïssé classes among ℰ𝒦, 𝒪ℰ𝒦 and 𝒞ℰ[𝒦*]. In addition, we classify...

Relatively minimal extensions of topological flows

Mieczysław Mentzen (2000)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The concept of relatively minimal (rel. min.) extensions of topological flows is introduced. Several generalizations of properties of minimal extensions are shown. In particular the following extensions are rel. min.: distal point transitive, inverse limits of rel. min., superpositions of rel. min. Any proximal extension of a flow Y with a dense set of almost periodic (a.p.) points contains a unique subflow which is a relatively minimal extension of Y. All proximal and distal factors of a point...

Remarks on the region of attraction of an isolated invariant set

Konstantin Athanassopoulos (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study the complexity of the flow in the region of attraction of an isolated invariant set. More precisely, we define the instablity depth, which is an ordinal and measures how far an isolated invariant set is from being asymptotically stable within its region of attraction. We provide upper and lower bounds of the instability depth in certain cases.

Rotation sets for graph maps of degree 1

Lluís Alsedà, Sylvie Ruette (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

For a continuous map on a topological graph containing a loop S it is possible to define the degree (with respect to the loop S ) and, for a map of degree 1 , rotation numbers. We study the rotation set of these maps and the periods of periodic points having a given rotation number. We show that, if the graph has a single loop S then the set of rotation numbers of points in S has some properties similar to the rotation set of a circle map; in particular it is a compact interval and for every rational...

Rotation sets for subshifts of finite type

Krystyna Ziemian (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For a dynamical system (X,f) and a function φ : X N the rotation set is defined. The case when (X,f) is a transitive subshift of finite type and φ depends on the cylinders of length 2 is studied. Then the rotation set is a convex polyhedron. The rotation vectors of periodic points are dense in the rotation set. Every interior point of the rotation set is a rotation vector of an ergodic measure.

Selection Theorem for Systems with Inheritance

A. N. Gorban (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The problem of finite-dimensional asymptotics of infinite-dimensional dynamic systems is studied. A non-linear kinetic system with conservation of supports for distributions has generically finite-dimensional asymptotics. Such systems are apparent in many areas of biology, physics (the theory of parametric wave interaction), chemistry and economics. This conservation of support has a biological interpretation: inheritance. The finite-dimensional asymptotics demonstrates effects of “natural”...

Semigroup actions on tori and stationary measures on projective spaces

Yves Guivarc'h, Roman Urban (2005)

Studia Mathematica

Let Γ be a subsemigroup of G = GL(d,ℝ), d > 1. We assume that the action of Γ on d is strongly irreducible and that Γ contains a proximal and quasi-expanding element. We describe contraction properties of the dynamics of Γ on d at infinity. This amounts to the consideration of the action of Γ on some compact homogeneous spaces of G, which are extensions of the projective space d - 1 . In the case where Γ is a subsemigroup of GL(d,ℝ) ∩ M(d,ℤ) and Γ has the above properties, we deduce that the Γ-orbits...

Sequence entropy pairs and complexity pairs for a measure

Wen Huang, Alejandro Maass, Xiangdong Ye (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper we explore topological factors in between the Kronecker factor and the maximal equicontinuous factor of a system. For this purpose we introduce the concept of sequence entropy n -tuple for a measure and we show that the set of sequence entropy tuples for a measure is contained in the set of topological sequence entropy tuples [H- Y]. The reciprocal is not true. In addition, following topological ideas in [BHM], we introduce a weak notion and a strong notion of complexity pair for a...

Shadowing and expansivity in subspaces

Andrew D. Barwell, Chris Good, Piotr Oprocha (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We address various notions of shadowing and expansivity for continuous maps restricted to a proper subset of their domain. We prove new equivalences of shadowing and expansive properties, we demonstrate under what conditions certain expanding maps have shadowing, and generalize some known results in this area. We also investigate the impact of our theory on maps of the interval.

Shadowing and internal chain transitivity

Jonathan Meddaugh, Brian E. Raines (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The main result of this paper is that a map f: X → X which has shadowing and for which the space of ω-limits sets is closed in the Hausdorff topology has the property that a set A ⊆ X is an ω-limit set if and only if it is closed and internally chain transitive. Moreover, a map which has the property that every closed internally chain transitive set is an ω-limit set must also have the property that the space of ω-limit sets is closed. As consequences of this result, we show that interval maps with...

Shape index and other indices of Conley type for local maps on locally compact Hausdorff spaces

Marian Mrozek (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We present a scheme for constructing various Conley indices for locally defined maps. In particular, we extend the shape index of Robbin and Salamon to the case of a locally defined map in a locally compact Hausdorff space. We compare the shape index with the cohomological Conley index for maps. We also prove the commutativity property of the Conley index, which is analogous to the commutativity property of the fixed point index.

Shape index in metric spaces

Francisco R. Ruiz del Portal, José M. Salazar (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We extend the shape index, introduced by Robbin and Salamon and Mrozek, to locally defined maps in metric spaces. We show that this index is additive. Thus our construction answers in the affirmative two questions posed by Mrozek in [12]. We also prove that the shape index cannot be arbitrarily complicated: the shapes of q-adic solenoids appear as shape indices in natural modifications of Smale's horseshoes but there is not any compact isolated invariant set for any locally defined map in a locally...
