On the genesis of symbolic dynamics as we know it
We trace the beginning of symbolic dynamics-the study of the shift dynamical system-as it arose from the use of coding to study recurrence and transitivity of geodesics. It is our assertion that neither Hadamard's 1898 paper, nor the Morse-Hedlund papers of 1938 and 1940, which are normally cited as the first instances of symbolic dynamics, truly present the abstract point of view associated with the subject today. Based in part on the evidence of a 1941 letter from Hedlund to Morse, we place the...

On the helix equation
This paper is devoted to the helices processes, i.e. the solutions H : ℝ × Ω → ℝd, (t, ω) ↦ H(t, ω) of the helix equation where Φ : ℝ × Ω → Ω, (t, ω) ↦ Φ(t, ω) is a dynamical system on a measurable space (Ω, ℱ).More precisely, we investigate dominated solutions and non differentiable solutions of the helix equation. For the last case, the Wiener helix plays a fundamental role. Moreover, some relations with the cocycle equation defined...
On the instability of Herman rings.
On the Lyapunov numbers
We introduce and study the Lyapunov numbers-quantitative measures of the sensitivity of a dynamical system (X,f) given by a compact metric space X and a continuous map f: X → X. In particular, we prove that for a minimal topologically weakly mixing system all Lyapunov numbers are the same.

On the Number of Partitions of an Integer in the -bonacci Base
For each we consider the -bonacci numbers defined by for and for When these are the usual Fibonacci numbers. Every positive integer may be expressed as a sum of distinct -bonacci numbers in one or more different ways. Let be the number of partitions of as a sum of distinct -bonacci numbers. Using a theorem of Fine and Wilf, we obtain a formula for involving sums of binomial coefficients modulo In addition we show that this formula may be used to determine the number of partitions...
On the primary orbits of star maps (second part: spiral orbits)
This paper is the second part of [2] and is devoted to the study of the spiral orbits of self maps of the 4-star with the branching point fixed, completing the characterization of the strongly directed primary orbits for such maps.
On the rate of mixing of Axiom A flows.
On the relationship between hyperbolic and cone-hyperbolic structures in metric spaces
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for topological hyperbolicity of a homeomorphism of a metric space, restricted to a given compact invariant set. These conditions are related to the existence of an appropriate finite covering of this set and a corresponding cone-hyperbolic graph-directed iterated function system.
On the structure of covers of sofic shifts.
On the structure of minimal attraction centers of recurrent trajectories of continuous maps of the interval.
On the topological dynamics and phase-locking renormalization of Lorenz-like maps
The aim of this paper is twofold. First we give a characterization of the set of kneading invariants for the class of Lorenz–like maps considered as a map of the circle of degree one with one discontinuity. In a second step we will consider the subclass of the Lorenz– like maps generated by the class of Lorenz maps in the interval. For this class of maps we give a characterization of the set of renormalizable maps with rotation interval degenerate to a rational number, that is, of phase–locking...
On the transitive and -limit points of the continuous mappings of the circle
We extend the recent results from the class of continuous maps of the interval to the class of continuous maps of the circle. Among others, we give a characterization of -limit sets and give a characterization of sets of transitive points for these maps.
On the ω-limit sets of tent maps
For a continuous map f on a compact metric space (X,d), a set D ⊂ X is internally chain transitive if for every x,y ∈ D and every δ > 0 there is a sequence of points ⟨x = x₀,x₁,...,xₙ = y⟩ such that for 0 ≤ i< n. In this paper, we prove that for tent maps with periodic critical point, every closed, internally chain transitive set is necessarily an ω-limit set. Furthermore, we show that there are at least countably many tent maps with non-recurrent critical point for which there is a closed,...
