weakly chaotic functions with zero topological entropy and non- flat critical points.
In this paper we show how the main properties of chaos can be fully visualized at the light of a very easy to handle object, the tent function. Although very concrete, this case is representative of a very large number of examples, with more or less the same properties.
Let K(2ℕ) be the class of compact subsets of the Cantor space 2ℕ, furnished with the Hausdorff metric. Let f ∈ C(2ℕ). We study the map ω f: 2ℕ → K(2ℕ) defined as ω f (x) = ω(x, f), the ω-limit set of x under f. Unlike the case of n-dimensional manifolds, n ≥ 1, we show that ω f is continuous for the generic self-map f of the Cantor space, even though the set of functions for which ω f is everywhere discontinuous on a subsystem is dense in C(2ℕ). The relationships between the continuity of ω f and...
In this paper we extend results of Blokh, Bruckner, Humke and Sm’ıtal [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 348 (1996), 1357–1372] about characterization of -limit sets from the class of continuous maps of the interval to the class of continuous maps of the circle. Among others we give geometric characterization of -limit sets and then we prove that the family of -limit sets is closed with respect to the Hausdorff metric.
In this paper we consider the class of three-dimensional discrete maps M (x, y, z) = [φ(y), φ(z), φ(x)], where φ : ℝ → ℝ is an endomorphism. We show that all the cycles of the 3-D map M can be obtained by those of φ(x), as well as their local bifurcations. In particular we obtain that any local bifurcation is of co-dimension 3, that is three eigenvalues cross simultaneously the unit circle. As the map M exhibits coexistence...
The system of Abel equations α(ft(x)) = α(x) + λ(t), t ∈ T, is studied under the general assumption that are pairwise commuting homeomorphisms of a real interval and have no fixed points (T is an arbitrary non-empty set). A result concerning embeddability of rational iteration groups in continuous groups is proved as a simple consequence of the obtained theorems.
We show that the set of conical points of a rational function of the Riemann sphere supports at most one conformal measure. We then study the problem of existence of such measures and their ergodic properties by constructing Markov partitions on increasing subsets of sets of conical points and by applying ideas of the thermodynamic formalism.
A pair (X, α) is a partial dynamical system if X is a compact topological space and α: Δ→ X is a continuous mapping such that Δ is open. Additionally we assume here that Δ is closed and α(Δ) is open. Such systems arise naturally while dealing with commutative C *-dynamical systems. In this paper we construct and investigate a universal C *-algebra C *(X,α) which agrees with the partial crossed product [10] in the case α is injective, and with the crossed product by a monomorphism [22] in the case...
The main results of this paper are: 1. No topologically transitive cocycle -extension of minimal rotation on the unit circle by a continuous real-valued bounded variation ℤ-cocycle admits minimal subsets. 2. A minimal rotation on a compact metric monothetic group does not admit a topologically transitive real-valued cocycle if and only if the group is finite.
