Absolutely continuous measures for certain maps of an interval
For continuous maps of an interval into itself we consider cycles (periodic orbits) that are non-reducible in the sense that there is no non-trivial partition into blocks of consecutive points permuted by the map. Among them we identify the miror ones. They are those whose existence does not imply existence of other non-reducible cycles of the same period. Moreover, we find minor patterns of a given period with minimal entropy.
Making use of the Nielsen fixed point theory, we study a conjugacy invariant of braids, which we call the level index function. We present a simple algorithm for computing it for positive permutation cyclic braids.
The topological entropy of a nonautonomous dynamical system given by a sequence of compact metric spaces and a sequence of continuous maps , , is defined. If all the spaces are compact real intervals and all the maps are piecewise monotone then, under some additional assumptions, a formula for the entropy of the system is obtained in terms of the number of pieces of monotonicity of . As an application we construct a large class of smooth triangular maps of the square of type and positive...
