We consider “nonconventional” averaging setup in the form $\frac{\mathrm{d}{X}^{\epsilon }\left(t\right)}{\mathrm{d}t}=\epsilon B(X^{\epsilon }\left(t\right)$, $𝛯\left(q_1\left(t\right)\right),𝛯\left(q_2\left(t\right)\right),...,𝛯\left(q_{\ell }\left(t\right)\right))$ where $𝛯\left(t\right)$, $t\ge 0$ is either a stochastic process or a dynamical system with sufficiently fast mixing while $q_j\left(t\right)={\alpha }_{j}t$, ${\alpha }_{1}lt;{\alpha }_{2}lt;\cdots lt;{\alpha }_k$ and $q_j$, $j=k+1,...,\ell$ grow faster than linearly. We show that the properly normalized error term in the “nonconventional” averaging principle is asymptotically Gaussian.

In the present paper, we advance considerably the current knowledge on the topic of bifurcations of heteroclinic cycles for smooth, meaning C ∞, parametrized families {g t ∣t∈ℝ} of surface diffeomorphisms. We assume that a quadratic tangency q is formed at t=0 between the stable and unstable lines of two periodic points, not belonging to the same orbit, of a (uniformly hyperbolic) horseshoe K (see an example at the Introduction) and that such lines cross each other with positive relative speed as...

We consider families of hyperbolic maps and describe conditions for a fixed reference point to have its orbit evenly distributed for maps corresponding to generic parameter values.

We study the connection between the entropy of a dynamical system and the boundary distortion rate of regions in the phase space of the system.

Unlike in the invertible setting, Anosov endomorphisms may have infinitely many unstable directions. Here we prove, under the transitivity assumption, that an Anosov endomorphism of a closed manifold M is either special (that is, every x ∈ M has only one unstable direction), or for a typical point in M there are infinitely many unstable directions. Another result is the semi-rigidity of the unstable Lyapunov exponent of a $C^{1+\alpha }$ codimension one Anosov endomorphism that is C¹-close to a linear endomorphism...

We study countable partitions for measurable maps on measure spaces such that, for every point $x$, the set of points with the same itinerary as that of $x$ is negligible. We prove in nonatomic probability spaces that every strong generator (Parry, W., Aperiodic transformations and generators, J. London Math. Soc. 43 (1968), 191–194) satisfies this property (but not conversely). In addition, measurable maps carrying partitions with this property are aperiodic and their corresponding spaces are nonatomic....

We consider projectively Anosov flows with differentiable stable and unstable foliations. We characterize the flows on $T^2$ which can be extended on a neighbourhood of $T^2$ into a projectively Anosov flow so that $T^2$ is a compact leaf of the stable foliation. Furthermore, to realize this extension on an arbitrary closed 3-manifold, the topology of this manifold plays an essential role. Thus, we give the classification of projectively Anosov flows on $T^3$. In this case, the only flows on $T^2$ which extend to $T^3$...

Two dynamical deformation theories are presented – one for surface homeomorphisms, called pruning, and another for graph endomorphisms, called kneading – both giving conditions under which all of the dynamics in an open set can be destroyed, while leaving the dynamics unchanged elsewhere. The theories are related to each other and to Thurston’s classification of surface homeomorphisms up to isotopy.

We consider a nonlinear area preserving Anosov map $M$ on the torus phase space, which is the simplest example of a fully chaotic dynamics. We are interested in the quantum dynamics for long time, generated by the unitary quantum propagator $\widehat{M}$. The usual semi-classical Trace formula expresses $Tr\left({\widehat{M}}^t\right)$ for finite time $t$, in the limit $\hslash \to 0$, in terms of periodic orbits of $M$ of period $t$. Recent work reach time $t\ll t_E/6$ where $t_E=log(1/\hslash )/\lambda$ is the Ehrenfest time, and $\lambda$ is the Lyapounov coefficient. Using a semi-classical normal form...

It is well known that any continuous piecewise monotone interval map f with positive topological entropy $h_{top}\left(f\right)$ is semiconjugate to some piecewise affine map with constant slope $e^{h_{top}\left(f\right)}$. We prove this result for a class of Markov countably piecewise monotone continuous interval maps.

Soit $F_0$ un difféomorphisme d’une surface possédant deux fers à cheval $\Lambda ,{\Lambda }^{\text{'}}$ tels que $W^s\Lambda$ et $W^u{\Lambda }^{\text{'}}$ aient en un point $q$ une tangence quadratique isolée. Nous montrons que, si la somme des dimensions transverses de $W^s\Lambda$ et $W^u{\Lambda }^{\text{'}}$ est strictement plus grande que 1, les difféomorphismes voisins de $F_0$ tels que $W^s\Lambda$ et $W^u{\Lambda }^{\text{'}}$ soient stablement tangents au voisinage de $q$ forment une partie de densité inférieure strictement positive en $F_0$.
