Weighted kneading theory of one-dimensional maps with a hole.
We study transitive non-minimal ℕ-actions and ℤ-actions. We show that there are such actions whose non-transitive points are periodic and whose topological entropy is positive. It turns out that such actions can be obtained by perturbing minimal systems under some reasonable assumptions.
For measures on a Cantor space, the demand that the measure be "good" is a useful homogeneity condition. We examine the question of when a Bernoulli measure on the sequence space for an alphabet of size n is good. Complete answers are given for the n = 2 cases and the rational cases. Partial results are obtained for the general cases.
We study the law of coexistence of different types of cycles for a continuous map of the interval. For this we introduce the notion of eccentricity of a pattern and characterize those patterns with a given eccentricity that are simplest from the point of view of the forcing relation. We call these patterns X-minimal. We obtain a generalization of Sharkovskiĭ's Theorem where the notion of period is replaced by the notion of eccentricity.
In 1992 Agronsky and Ceder proved that any finite collection of non-degenerate Peano continua in the unit square is an ω-limit set for a continuous map. We improve this result by showing that it is valid, with natural restrictions, for the triangular maps (x,y) ↦ (f(x),g(x,y)) of the square. For example, we show that a non-trivial Peano continuum C ⊂ I² is an orbit-enclosing ω-limit set of a triangular map if and only if it has a projection property. If C is a finite union of Peano continua then,...
