The topology of one-dimensional invariant sets (attractors) is of great interest. R. F. Williams [20] demonstrated that hyperbolic one-dimensional non-wandering sets can be represented as inverse limits of graphs with bonding maps that satisfy certain strong dynamical properties. These spaces have "homogeneous neighborhoods" in the sense that small open sets are homeomorphic to the product of a Cantor set and an arc. In this paper we examine inverse limits of graphs with more complicated bonding...
We demonstrate that the set of topologically distinct inverse limit spaces of tent maps with a Cantor set for its postcritical ω-limit set has cardinality of the continuum. The set of folding points (i.e. points at which the space is not homeomorphic to the product of a zero-dimensional set and an arc) of each of these spaces is also a Cantor set.
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...
We give two examples of tent maps with uncountable (as it happens, post-critical) ω-limit sets, which have isolated points, with interesting structures. Such ω-limit sets must be of the form C ∪ R, where C is a Cantor set and R is a scattered set. Firstly, it is known that there is a restriction on the topological structure of countable ω-limit sets for finite-to-one maps satisfying at least some weak form of expansivity. We show that this restriction does not hold if the ω-limit set is uncountable....
