On some notions of chaos in dimension zero

Rafał Pikuła (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We compare four different notions of chaos in zero-dimensional systems (subshifts). We provide examples showing that in that case positive topological entropy does not imply strong chaos, strong chaos does not imply complicated dynamics at all, and ω-chaos does not imply Li-Yorke chaos.

The Boltzmann Equation: Mathematics and Applications

Carlo Cercignani (2007)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

The paper is subdivided into two parts. The first presents a recent result by the author concerning the existence of the solution of the Boltzmann equation for Maxwell molecules, without any cutoff in the collision kernel, when the solution depends on just one variable. At variance with the well-known theorem of DiPerna- Lions, conservation of energy is also shown to hold. The second part will concern rarefied gas dynamics problems, governed by the Boltzmann equation and con- cerning...
