Identifying points of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism

Gavin Band (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We investigate the question, due to S. Smale, of whether a hyperbolic automorphism T of the n-dimensional torus can have a compact invariant subset homeomorphic to a compact manifold of positive dimension, other than a finite union of subtori. In the simplest case such a manifold would be a closed surface. A result of Fathi says that T can sometimes have an invariant subset which is a finite-to-one image of a closed surface under a continuous map which is locally injective except possibly at a finite...

Inhomogeneities in non-hyperbolic one-dimensional invariant sets

Brian E. Raines (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The topology of one-dimensional invariant sets (attractors) is of great interest. R. F. Williams [20] demonstrated that hyperbolic one-dimensional non-wandering sets can be represented as inverse limits of graphs with bonding maps that satisfy certain strong dynamical properties. These spaces have "homogeneous neighborhoods" in the sense that small open sets are homeomorphic to the product of a Cantor set and an arc. In this paper we examine inverse limits of graphs with more complicated bonding...

Invariant measures for piecewise convex transformations of an interval

Christopher Bose, Véronique Maume-Deschamps, Bernard Schmitt, S. Sujin Shin (2002)

Studia Mathematica

We investigate the existence and ergodic properties of absolutely continuous invariant measures for a class of piecewise monotone and convex self-maps of the unit interval. Our assumption entails a type of average convexity which strictly generalizes the case of individual branches being convex, as investigated by Lasota and Yorke (1982). Along with existence, we identify tractable conditions for the invariant measure to be unique and such that the system has exponential decay of correlations on...

Invariant measures for position dependent random maps with continuous random parameters

Tomoki Inoue (2012)

Studia Mathematica

We consider a family of transformations with a random parameter and study a random dynamical system in which one transformation is randomly selected from the family and applied on each iteration. The parameter space may be of cardinality continuum. Further, the selection of the transformation need not be independent of the position in the state space. We show the existence of absolutely continuous invariant measures for random maps on an interval under some conditions.

Inverse limit spaces of post-critically finite tent maps

Henk Bruin (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let (I,T) be the inverse limit space of a post-critically finite tent map. Conditions are given under which these inverse limit spaces are pairwise nonhomeomorphic. This extends results of Barge & Diamond [2].

Inverse Limits, Economics, and Backward Dynamics.

Judy Kennedy (2008)

RACSAM

We survey recent papers on the problem of backward dynamics in economics, providing along the way a glimpse at the economics perspective, a discussion of the economic models and mathematical tools involved, and a list of applicable literature in both mathematics and economics.

Inverse limits on intervals using unimodal bonding maps having only periodic points whose periods are all the powers of two

W. Ingram, Robert Roe (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We derive several properties of unimodal maps having only periodic points whose period is a power of 2. We then consider inverse limits on intervals using a single strongly unimodal bonding map having periodic points whose only periods are all the powers of 2. One such mapping is the logistic map, f λ ( x ) = 4λx(1-x) on [f(λ),λ], at the Feigenbaum limit, λ ≈ 0.89249. It is known that this map produces an hereditarily decomposable inverse limit with only three topologically different subcontinua. Other...

Inverse problems of symbolic dynamics

Alexei Ya. Belov, Grigorii V. Kondakov, Ivan V. Mitrofanov (2011)

Banach Center Publications

This paper reviews some results regarding symbolic dynamics, correspondence between languages of dynamical systems and combinatorics. Sturmian sequences provide a pattern for investigation of one-dimensional systems, in particular interval exchange transformation. Rauzy graphs language can express many important combinatorial and some dynamical properties. In this case combinatorial properties are considered as being generated by a substitutional system, and dynamical properties are considered...

Involutions of real intervals

Gaetano Zampieri (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

This paper shows a simple construction of continuous involutions of real intervals in terms of continuous even functions. We also study smooth involutions defined by symmetric equations. Finally, we review some applications, in particular a characterization of isochronous potentials by means of smooth involutions.
