AbstractIt is known that the positiveness of topological entropy, the existence of a horseshoe and the existence of a homoclinic trajectory are mutually equivalent, for interval maps. The aim of the paper is to investigate the relations between the properties for continuous maps of trees, graphs and dendrites. We consider three different definitions of a horseshoe and two different definitions of a homoclinic trajectory. All the properties are mutually equivalent for tree maps, whereas not for maps on graphs and dendrites. For example, positive topological entropy and the existence of a homoclinic trajectory are independent and neither of them implies the existence of any horseshoe in the case of dendrites. Unfortunately, there is still an open problem, and we formulate it at the end of the paper.

Continuous Maps

We introduce the notion of the center of a point for discrete dynamical systems and we study its properties for continuous interval maps. It is known that the Birkhoff center of any such map has depth at most 2. Contrary to this, we show that if a map has positive topological entropy then, for any countable ordinal α, there is a point xα∈I such that its center has depth at least α. This improves a result by [Sharkovskii, 1966].

Continuous Maps

We consider various kinds of chaotic behavior of continuous maps on compact metric spaces: the positivity of topological entropy, the existence of a horseshoe, the existence of a homoclinic trajectory (or perhaps, an eventually periodic homoclinic trajectory), three levels of Li–Yorke chaos, three levels of ω-chaos and distributional chaos of type 1. The relations between these properties are known when the space is an interval. We survey the known results in the case of trees, graphs and dendrites.

Piecewise Monotonic

Let $T:X\to{\Bbb R}$ be a piecewise monotonic map, where $X$ is a finite union of closed intervals. Define $R(T)=\bigcap_{n=0}^{\infty} \overline{T^{-n}X}$, and suppose that $(R(T),T)$ has a unique maximal measure $\mu$. The influence of small perturbations of $T$ on the maximal measure is investigated. If $(R(T),T)$ has positive topological entropy, and if a certain stability condition is satisfied, then every piecewise monotonic map $\tilde{T}$, which is contained in a sufficiently small neighbourhood of $T$, has a unique maximal measure $\tilde{\mu}$, and the map $\tilde{T}\mapsto\tilde{\mu}$ is continuous at $T$.

Lyapunov Instability

We consider six properties of continuous maps, such as the existence of an arc horseshoe, the positivity of topological entropy, the existence of a homoclinic trajectory, or Lyapunov instability on the set of periodic points. The relations between the considered properties are provided in the case of graph maps, dendrite maps and maps on compact metric spaces. For example, by [Llibre & Misiurewicz, 1993] in the case of graph maps, the existence of an arc horseshoe implies the positivity of topological entropy, but we construct a continuous map on a Peano continuum with an arc horseshoe and zero topological entropy. We also formulate one open problem.

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.

Dynamical systems generated by continuous maps on compact metric spaces can have various properties, e.g. the existence of an arc horseshoe, the positivity of topological entropy, the existence of a homoclinic trajectory, the existence of an omega-limit set containing two minimal sets and other. In [Kočan et al., 2014] we consider six such properties and survey the relations among them for the cases of graph maps, dendrite maps and maps on compact metric spaces. In this paper, we consider fourteen such properties, provide new results and survey all the relations among the properties for the case of graph maps and all known relations for the case of dendrite maps. We formulate some open problems at the end of the paper.

AbstractIn this paper we review and explore the notion of topological entropy for continuous maps defined on non compact topological spaces which need not be metrizable. We survey the different notions, analyze their relationship and study their properties. Some questions remain open along the paper.

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.

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.
