Decay of correlations in one-dimensional dynamics
Transformations T:[0,1] → [0,1] with two monotonic pieces are considered. Under the assumption that T is topologically transitive and , it is proved that the invariant measures concentrated on periodic orbits are dense in the set of all invariant probability measures.
Étant donnée une fonction régulière de moyenne nulle sur le tore de dimension , il est facile de voir que ses intégrales ergodiques au-dessus d’un flot de translation “générique”sont bornées. Il y a une dizaine d’années, A. Zorich a observé numériquement une croissance en puissance du temps de ces intégrales ergodiques au-dessus de flots d’hamiltoniens (non-exacts) “génériques”sur des surfaces de genre supérieur ou égal à , et Kontsevich et Zorich ont proposé une explication (conjecturelle) de...
For the real quadratic map and a given a point has good expansion properties if any interval containing also contains a neighborhood of with univalent, with bounded distortion and for some . The -weakly expanding set is the set of points which do not have good expansion properties. Let denote the negative fixed point and the first return time of the critical orbit to . We show there is a set of parameters with positive Lebesgue measure for which the Hausdorff dimension of...
The evolution of n–dimensional graphs under a weighted curvature flow is approximated by linear finite elements. We obtain optimal error bounds for the normals and the normal velocities of the surfaces in natural norms. Furthermore we prove a global existence result for the continuous problem and present some examples of computed surfaces.
We obtain estimates for derivative and cross-ratio distortion for (any η > 0) unimodal maps with non-flat critical points. We do not require any “Schwarzian-like” condition. For two intervals J ⊂ T, the cross-ratio is defined as the value B(T,J): = (|T| |J|)/(|L| |R|) where L,R are the left and right connected components of T∖J respectively. For an interval map g such that is a diffeomorphism, we consider the cross-ratio distortion to be B(g,T,J): = B(g(T),g(J))/B(T,J). We prove that for...
Schweizer and Smítal introduced the distributional chaos for continuous maps of the interval in B. Schweizer, J. Smítal, Measures of chaos and a spectral decomposition of dynamical systems on the interval. Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 344 (1994), 737–854. In this paper, we discuss the distributional chaos DC1–DC3 for flows on compact metric spaces. We prove that both the distributional chaos DC1 and DC2 of a flow are equivalent to the time-1 maps and so some properties of DC1 and DC2 for discrete systems...
Let , , and let be a continuous map having the branching point fixed. We prove that is distributionally chaotic iff the topological entropy of is positive.
We introduce a new equivalence relation on the set of all polygonal billiards. We say that two billiards (or polygons) are order equivalent if each of the billiards has an orbit whose footpoints are dense in the boundary and the two sequences of footpoints of these orbits have the same combinatorial order. We study this equivalence relation under additional regularity conditions on the orbit.
We prove that if the Cantor set K, dynamically defined by a function , satisfies the conditions of McDuff’s conjecture then it cannot be C¹-minimal.
