Braiding of the attractor and the failure of iterative algorithms.
Necessary conditions are found for a Cantor subset of the circle to be minimal for some -diffeomorphism. These conditions are not satisfied by the usual ternary Cantor set.
The horseshoe or bucket handle continuum, defined as the inverse limit of the tent map, is one of the standard examples in continua theory as well as in dynamical systems. It is not arcwise connected. Its arcwise components coincide with composants, and with unstable manifolds in the dynamical setting. Knaster asked whether these composants are all homeomorphic, with the obvious exception of the zero composant. Partial results were obtained by Bellamy (1979), Dębski and Tymchatyn (1987), and Aarts...
This paper is a study of the global structure of the attractors of a dynamical system. The dynamical system is associated with an oriented graph called a Symbolic Image of the system. The symbolic image can be considered as a finite discrete approximation of the dynamical system flow. Investigation of the symbolic image provides an opportunity to localize the attractors of the system and to estimate their domains of attraction. A special sequence of symbolic images is considered in order to obtain...
We consider a complete metric space (X, d) and a countable number of contraction mappings on X, F = {F i: i ∈ ℕ}. We show the existence of a smallest invariant set (with respect to inclusion) for F. If the maps F i are of the form F i(x) = r i x + b i on X = ℝd, we prove a converse of the classic result on contraction mappings, more precisely, there exists a unique bounded invariant set if and only if r = supi r i is strictly smaller than 1. Further, if ρ = {ρ k}k∈ℕ is a probability sequence, we...
The object of the present paper is to give a qualitative description of the bifurcation mechanisms associated with a closed invariant curve in three-dimensional maps, leading to its doubling, not related to a standard doubling of tori. We propose an explanation on how a closed invariant attracting curve, born via Neimark-Sacker bifurcation, can be transformed into a repelling one giving birth to a new attracting closed invariant curve which has doubled...
We discuss main properties of the dynamics on minimal attraction centers (σ-limit sets) of single trajectories for continuous maps of a compact metric space into itself. We prove that each nowhere dense nonvoid closed set in , n ≥ 1, is a σ-limit set for some continuous map.
We show that an aperiodic minimal tiling space with only finitely many asymptotic composants embeds in a surface if and only if it is the suspension of a symbolic interval exchange transformation (possibly with reversals). We give two necessary conditions for an aperiodic primitive substitution tiling space to embed in a surface. In the case of substitutions on two symbols our classification is nearly complete. The results characterize the codimension one hyperbolic attractors of surface diffeomorphisms...
