Given a relatively prime pair of integers, $n\geq m>1$, there is associated a topological dynamical system which we refer to as an $n/m$-solenoid. It is also a Smale space, as defined by David Ruelle, meaning that it has local coordinates of contracting and expanding directions. In this case, these are locally products of the real and various $p$-adic numbers. In the special case, $m=2,n=3$ and for $n>3m$, we construct Markov partitions for such systems. The second author has developed a homology theory for Smale spaces and we compute this in these examples, using the given Markov partitions, for all values of $n\geq m>1$ and relatively prime.

AbstractA Smale space is a chaotic dynamical system with canonical coordinates of contracting and expanding directions. The basic sets for Smale’s Axiom $A$ systems are a key class of examples. We consider the special case of irreducible Smale spaces with zero-dimensional contracting directions, and characterize these as stationary inverse limits satisfying certain conditions.

AbstractWe study invariants for shifts of finite type obtained as the K-theory of various C*-algebras associated with them. These invariants have been studied intensively over the past thirty years since their introduction by Wolfgang Krieger. They may be given quite concrete descriptions as inductive limits of simplicially ordered free abelian groups. Shifts of finite type are special cases of Smale spaces and, in earlier work, the second author has shown that the hyperbolic structure of the dynamics in a Smale space induces natural ring and module structures on certain of these K-groups. Here, we restrict our attention to the special case of shifts of finite type and obtain explicit descriptions in terms of the inductive limits.

Self-similar inverse semigroups are defined using automata theory. Adjacency semigroups of s-resolved Markov partitions of Smale spaces are introduced. It is proved that a Smale space can be reconstructed from the adjacency semigroup of its Markov partition, using the notion of the limit solenoid of a contracting self-similar semigroup. The notions of the limit solenoid and a contracting semigroup is described.

Let $A$ be a finite alphabet and $f:~A^{\ast }\rightarrow A^{\ast }$ be a morphism with an iterative fixed point $f^{{\it\omega}}({\it\alpha})$, where ${\it\alpha}\in A$. Consider the subshift $({\mathcal{X}},T)$, where ${\mathcal{X}}$ is the shift orbit closure of $f^{{\it\omega}}({\it\alpha})$ and $T:~{\mathcal{X}}\rightarrow {\mathcal{X}}$ is the shift map. Let $S$ be a finite alphabet that is in bijective correspondence via a mapping $c$ with the set of non-empty suffixes of the images $f(a)$ for $a\in A$. Let ${\mathcal{S}}\subset S^{\mathbb{N}}$ be the set of infinite words $\mathbf{s}=(s_{n})_{n\geq 0}$ such that ${\it\pi}(\mathbf{s}):=c(s_{0})f(c(s_{1}))f^{2}(c(s_{2}))\cdots \in {\mathcal{X}}$. We show that if $f$ is primitive, $f^{{\it\omega}}({\it\alpha})$ is aperiodic, and $f(A)$ is a suffix code, then there exists a mapping $H:~{\mathcal{S}}\rightarrow {\mathcal{S}}$ such that $({\mathcal{S}},H)$ is a topological dynamical system and ${\it\pi}:~({\mathcal{S}},H)\rightarrow ({\mathcal{X}},T)$ is a conjugacy; we call $({\mathcal{S}},H)$ the suffix conjugate of $({\mathcal{X}},T)$. In the special case where $f$ is the Fibonacci or Thue–Morse morphism, we show that the subshift $({\mathcal{S}},T)$ is sofic, that is, the language of ${\mathcal{S}}$ is regular.

By a dynamical system we mean one of several related objects: measure preserving transformations on probability spaces (processes), self homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces (compact systems), or a combination of these, namely compact systems provided with invariant Borel probability measures. It is the latter, which we call compact processes, which will be of most interest in this paper. In particular, we will study the dynamical properties of the product of two processes with respect to compatible measures – those measures which project to the given measures on the component spaces. This leads to the notion of disjointness of two processes – the only compatible measure is the product measure. As an application we obtain a theorem, a special case of which gives rise to a class of transformations which preserve normal sequences. Finally, we study a topological analog (topological disjointness) and briefly consider the relation between the two notions of disjointness.

Group actions on a Smale space and the actions induced on the $\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebras associated to such a dynamical system are studied. We show that an effective action of a discrete group on a mixing Smale space produces a strongly outer action on the homoclinic algebra. We then show that for irreducible Smale spaces, the property of finite Rokhlin dimension passes from the induced action on the homoclinic algebra to the induced actions on the stable and unstable $\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebras. In each of these cases, we discuss the preservation of properties (such as finite nuclear dimension, ${\mathcal{Z}}$-stability, and classification by Elliott invariants) in the resulting crossed products.

AbstractIn this paper, a numerical technique for a general form of nonlinear fractional-order differential equations with a linear functional argument using Chebyshev series is presented. The proposed equation with its linear functional argument represents a general form of delay and advanced nonlinear fractional-order differential equations. The spectral collocation method is extended to study this problem as a discretization scheme, where the fractional derivatives are defined in the Caputo sense. The collocation method transforms the given equation and conditions to algebraic nonlinear systems of equations with unknown Chebyshev coefficients. Additionally, we present a general form of the operational matrix for derivatives. A general form of the operational matrix to derivatives includes the fractional-order derivatives and the operational matrix of an ordinary derivative as a special case. To the best of our knowledge, there is no other work discussed this point. Numerical examples are given, and the obtained results show that the proposed method is very effective and convenient.

Abstract Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system. Given a continuous vector-valued function $F \in C(X, \mathbb {R}^{d})$ called a potential, we define its rotation set $R(F)$ as the set of integrals of F with respect to all T-invariant probability measures, which is a convex body of $\mathbb {R}^{d}$ . In this paper we study the geometry of rotation sets. We prove that if T is a non-uniquely ergodic topological dynamical system with a dense set of periodic measures, then the map $R(\cdot )$ is open with respect to the uniform topologies. As a consequence, we obtain that the rotation set of a generic potential is strictly convex and has $C^{1}$ boundary. Furthermore, we prove that the map $R(\cdot )$ is surjective, extending a result of Kucherenko and Wolf.

A biquartic rational interpolation spline surface over rectangular domain is constructed in this paper, which includes the classical bicubic Coons surface as a special case. Sufficient conditions for generating shape preserving interpolation splines for positive or monotonic surface data are deduced. The given numeric experiments show our method can deal with surface construction from positive or monotonic data effectively.

In this paper the notion of sub-exponential measure complexity for an invariant Borel probability measure of a topological dynamical system is introduced. Then a minimal distal skew product map on the torus with sub-exponential measure complexity is constructed.
