A survey on transitivity in discrete time dynamical systems. application to symbolic systems and related languages

Gianpiero Cattaneo, Alberto Dennunzio, Fabio Farina (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

The main goal of this paper is the investigation of a relevant property which appears in the various definition of deterministic topological chaos for discrete time dynamical system: transitivity. Starting from the standard Devaney's notion of topological chaos based on regularity, transitivity, and sensitivity to the initial conditions, the critique formulated by Knudsen is taken into account in order to exclude periodic chaos from this definition. Transitivity (or some stronger versions of it)...

A topological characterization of holomorphic parabolic germs in the plane

Frédéric Le Roux (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

J.-M. Gambaudo and É. Pécou introduced the "linking property" in the study of the dynamics of germs of planar homeomorphisms in order to provide a new proof of Naishul's theorem. In this paper we prove that the negation of the Gambaudo-Pécou property characterizes the topological dynamics of holomorphic parabolic germs. As a consequence, a rotation set for germs of surface homeomorphisms around a fixed point can be defined, and it turns out to be non-trivial except for countably many conjugacy classes....

A topological invariant for pairs of maps

Marcelo Polezzi, Claudemir Aniz (2006)

Open Mathematics

In this paper we develop the notion of contact orders for pairs of continuous self-maps (f, g) from ℝn, showing that the set Con(f, g) of all possible contact orders between f and g is a topological invariant (we remark that Con(f, id) = Per(f)). As an interesting application of this concept, we give sufficient conditions for the graphs of two continuous self-maps from ℝ intersect each other. We also determine the ordering of the sets Con(f, 0) and Con(f, h), for h ∈ Hom(ℝ) such that f ∘ h = h ∘...
