We study relations between the almost specification property, the asymptotic average shadowing property and the average shadowing property for dynamical systems on compact metric spaces. We show implications between these properties and relate them to other important notions such as shadowing, transitivity, invariant measures, etc. We provide examples showing that compactness is a necessary condition for these implications to hold. As a consequence, we also obtain a proof that limit shadowing in...

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.

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 $d(f\left(x_i\right),x_{i+1})<\delta$ 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,...
