The fundamental theorem of dynamical systems
We propose the title of The Fundamental Theorem of Dynamical Systems for a theorem of Charles Conley concerning the decomposition of spaces on which dynamical systems are defined. First, we briefly set the context and state the theorem. After some definitions and preliminary results, based both on Conley's work and modifications to it, we present a sketch of a proof of the result in the setting of the iteration of continuous functions on compact metric spaces. Finally, we claim that this theorem...
The growth rate and dimension theory of beta-expansions
In a recent paper of Feng and Sidorov they show that for β ∈ (1,(1+√5)/2) the set of β-expansions grows exponentially for every x ∈ (0,1/(β-1)). In this paper we study this growth rate further. We also consider the set of β-expansions from a dimension theory perspective.
The ODE method for some self-interacting diffusions on ℝd
The aim of this paper is to study the long-term behavior of a class of self-interacting diffusion processes on ℝd. These are solutions to SDEs with a drift term depending on the actual position of the process and its normalized occupation measure μt. These processes have so far been studied on compact spaces by Benaïm, Ledoux and Raimond, using stochastic approximation methods. We extend these methods to ℝd, assuming a confinement potential satisfying some conditions. These hypotheses on the confinement...
The omega limit sets of subsets in a metric space
In this paper, we discuss the properties of limit sets of subsets and attractors in a compact metric space. It is shown that the -limit set of is the limit point of the sequence in and also a quasi-attractor is the limit point of attractors with respect to the Hausdorff metric. It is shown that if a component of an attractor is not an attractor, then it must be a real quasi-attractor.

The Poincaré-Bendixson theorem and arational foliations on the sphere
Foliations on the 2-sphere with a finite number of non-orientable singularities are considered. For this class a Poincaré-Bendixson theorem is established. In particular, the work gives an answer to a problem of H. Rosenberg concerning labyrinths.
The recurrence dimension for piecewise monotonic maps of the interval
We investigate a weighted version of Hausdorff dimension introduced by V. Afraimovich, where the weights are determined by recurrence times. We do this for an ergodic invariant measure with positive entropy of a piecewise monotonic transformation on the interval , giving first a local result and proving then a formula for the dimension of the measure in terms of entropy and characteristic exponent. This is later used to give a relation between the dimension of a closed invariant subset and a pressure...

The shadowing chain lemma for singular Hamiltonian systems involving strong forces
We consider a planar autonomous Hamiltonian system :q+∇V(q) = 0, where the potential V: ℝ2 {ζ→ ℝ has a single well of infinite depth at some point ζ and a strict global maximum 0at two distinct points a and b. Under a strong force condition around the singularity ζ we will prove a lemma on the existence and multiplicity of heteroclinic and homoclinic orbits - the shadowing chain lemma - via minimization of action integrals and using simple geometrical arguments.
The size of the chain recurrent set for generic maps on an n-dimensional locally (n-1)-connected compact space
For n ≥ 1, given an n-dimensional locally (n-1)-connected compact space X and a finite Borel measure μ without atoms at isolated points, we prove that for a generic (in the uniform metric) continuous map f:X → X, the set of points which are chain recurrent under f has μ-measure zero. The same is true for n = 0 (skipping the local connectedness assumption).
The squares of the Laplacian-Dirichlet eigenfunctions are generically linearly independent
The paper deals with the genericity of domain-dependent spectral properties of the Laplacian-Dirichlet operator. In particular we prove that, generically, the squares of the eigenfunctions form a free family. We also show that the spectrum is generically non-resonant. The results are obtained by applying global perturbations of the domains and exploiting analytic perturbation properties. The work is motivated by two applications: an existence result for the problem of maximizing the rate of...
