Consider the continuous mappings f from a compact real interval to itself. We show that when f has a positive topological entropy (or equivalently, when f has a cycle of order ≠ 2n, n = 0, 1, 2, …) then f has a more complex behaviour than chaoticity in the sense of Li and Yorke: something like strong or uniform chaoticity, distinguishable on a certain level ɛ > 0. Recent results of the second author then imply that any continuous map has exactly one of the following properties: It is either strongly chaotic or every trajectory is approximable by cycles. Also some other conditions characterizing chaos are given.

We give a characterization of the set of nonwandering points of a continuous map f of the interval with zero topological entropy, attracted to a single (infinite) minimal set Q. We show that such a map f can have a unique infinite minimal set Q and an infinite set B ⊂ Ω (f)\ ω (f) (of nonwandering points that are not ω-limit points) attracted to Q and such that B has infinite intersections with infinitely many disjoint orbits of f.

We present a simpler elementary proof on positive topological entropy of theN-buffer switched flow networks based on a new simple theorem on positive topological entropy of continuous map on compact metric space.

In the eighties, Misiurewicz, Bruckner and Hu provided examples of functions chaotic in the sense of Li and Yorke almost everywhere. In this paper we show that similar results are true for distributional chaos, introduced in [Schweizer & Smítal, 1994]. In fact, we show that any bitransitive continuous map of the interval is conjugate to a map uniformly distributionally chaotic almost everywhere. Using a result of A. M. Blokh we get as a consequence that for any map f with positive topological entropy there is a k such that fk is semiconjugate to a continuous map uniformly distributionally chaotic almost everywhere, and consequently, chaotic in the sense of Li and Yorke almost everywhere.

This paper is concerned with distribution of maps with transversal homoclinic orbits in a continuous map space, which consists of continuous maps defined in a closed and bounded set of a Banach space. By the transversal homoclinic theorem, it is shown that the map space contains a dense set of maps that have transversal homoclinic orbits and are chaotic in the sense of both Li-Yorke and Devaney with positive topological entropy.

AbstractWe prove that an infiniteW⊂ (0, 1) is an ω-limit set for a continuous map ƒ of [0,1] with zero topological entropy iffW=Q∪PwhereQis a Cantor set, andPis countable, disjoint fromQ, dense inWif non-empty, and such that for any intervalJcontiguous toQ, card (J∩P) ≤ 1 if 0 or 1 is inJ, and card (J∩P) ≤ 2 otherwise. Moreover, we prove a conjecture by A. N. Šarkovskii from 1967 thatPcan contain points from infinitely many orbits, and consequently, that the system of ω-limit sets containingQand contained inW, can be uncountable.

AbstractTaking the hint from usual parametrization of circle and hyperbola, and inspired by the pathwork initiated by Cayley and Dixon for the parametrization of the “Fermat” elliptic curve $$x^3+y^3=1$$ x 3 + y 3 = 1 , we develop an axiomatic study of what we call “Keplerian maps”, that is, functions $${{\,\mathrm{{\mathbf {m}}}\,}}(\kappa )$$ m ( κ ) mapping a real interval to a planar curve, whose variable $$\kappa $$ κ measures twice the signed area swept out by the O-ray when moving from 0 to $$\kappa $$ κ . Then, given a characterization of k-curves, the images of such maps, we show how to recover the k-map of a given parametric or algebraic k-curve, by means of suitable differential problems.

We give a characterization of complex and simple interval maps and circle maps (in the sense of positive or zero topological entropy respectively), formulated in terms of the description of the dynamics of the map on its chain recurrent set. We also describe the behavior of complex maps on their periodic points.

We consider the problem of a double fixed point of pairs of continuous mappings defined on a convex closed bounded subset of a Banach space. It is shown that if one of the mappings is completely continuous and the other is continuous, then the property of the existence of fixed points is stable under contracting perturbations of the mappings. We obtain estimates for the distance from a given pair of points to double fixed points of perturbed mappings. We consider the problem of a fixed point of a completely continuous mapping on a convex closed bounded subset of a Banach space. It is shown that the property of the existence of a fixed point of a completely continuous map is stable under contracting perturbations. Estimates of the distance from a given point to a fixed point are obtained. As an application of the obtained results, the solvability of a difference equation of a special type is proved.

AbstractWe extend constructions of Hahn and Katznelson [On the entropy of uniquely ergodic transformations. Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.126 (1967), 335–360] and Pavlov [Some counterexamples in topological dynamics. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.28 (2008), 1291–1322] to ℤd-actions on symbolic dynamical spaces with prescribed topological and ergodic properties. More specifically, we describe a method to build ℤd-actions which are (totally) minimal, (totally) strictly ergodic and have positive topological entropy.
