AbstractWe give a complete characterization of the compact metric dynamical systems that appear as boundaries of the canonical compactification of a locally compact countable state mixing Markov shift. Consider such a compact metric dynamical system. Then there is a pair of non-conjugate Markov shifts with conjugate canonical compactifications, one of which has the given compact system as canonical boundary.

A complete characterization of the boundary of the stability region (or area of attraction) of nonlinear autonomous dynamical systems is developed admitting the existence of a particular type of nonhyperbolic equilibrium point on the stability boundary, the supercritical Hopf equilibrium point. Under a condition of transversality, it is shown that the stability boundary is comprised of all stable manifolds of the hyperbolic equilibrium points lying on the stability boundary union with the center-stable and\or center manifolds of the type-k, k ≥ 1, supercritical Hopf equilibrium points on the stability boundary.

Entropy characterizations of different spectral and mixing properties of dynamical systems were dealt with by a number of authors (see [5], [6] and [8]).Given an infinite subset Γ = {tn}of N and a dynamical system (X, β,μ, T) one can define sequence entropy along for any finite Petition ξ, and hΓ(T) —supξ hΓ(T,ξ). In [6] Kushnirenko used sequence entropy to give a characterization of systems with discrete spectrum.

AbstractWe give a new characterization of amenability for dynamical systems, in cohomological terms, which generalizes the classical characterization of amenable locally compact groups stated by Johnson.

AbstractThe shift map σ on ω* is the continuous self-map of ω* induced by the function n ↦ n + 1 on ω. Given a compact Hausdorff space X and a continuous function f : X → X, we say that (X, f) is a quotient of (ω*, σ) whenever there is a continuous surjection Q : ω*→ X such that Q ○ σ = σ ○ f.Our main theorem states that if the weight of X is at most ℵ1, then (X, f) is a quotient of (ω*, σ), if and only if f is weakly incompressible (which means that no nontrivial open U ⊆ X has $f\left( {\bar{U}} \right) \subseteq U$). Under CH, this gives a complete characterization of the quotients of (ω*, σ) and implies, for example, that (ω*, σ−1) is a quotient of (ω*, σ).In the language of topological dynamics, our theorem states that a dynamical system of weight ℵ1 is an abstract ω-limit set if and only if it is weakly incompressible.We complement these results by proving (1) our main theorem remains true when ℵ1 is replaced by any κ < p, (2) consistently, the theorem becomes false if we replace ℵ1 by ℵ2, and (3) OCA + MA implies that (ω*, σ−1) is not a quotient of (ω*, σ).

This paper proposes a new iteration method for chaotifying and controlling dynamical systems. By applying this iteration method, the dimension of the given dynamical system can be reduced from to n to n-1. Moreover, the chaotified system is not necessarily Hurwitz stable originally. The iteration method is applied to three-dimensional systems for demonstration, for which a sufficient condition is obtained for chaotification. In addition, the iteration method can be used to control a class of chaotic systems. These results are illustrated via simulations on the Duffing oscillator and the Chen system.

We provide a complete characterization of extreme points of the space of sofic representations. We also show that the restriction map $\text{Sof}(G,P^{{\it\omega}})$ to $\text{Sof}(H,P^{{\it\omega}})$, where $H\subset G$, is not always surjective. The first part of the paper is a continuation of Păunescu [A convex structure on sofic embeddings. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.34(4) (2014), 1343–1352] and follows more closely the plan of Brown [Topological dynamical systems associated to $\text{II}_{1}$-factors. Adv. Math.227(4) (2011), 1665–1699].

Let G be a separable locally compact group (separable in the sense that the topology of G has a countable base). Let S be a standard Borel space on which G acts on the right such that:(1) s · g1g2 = (s · g1) · g2;(2) s · e = s;(3) (s, g) → s · g is a Borel function from S × G to S.If μ is a Borel measure on S, let μg be the Borel measure on S defined by μg(E) = μ(E · g).Let μ be a Borel measure on S which is quasi-invariant under the action of G; i.e., μg and μ are absolutely continuous (g ∈ G). The triple (G, S, μ) is called a dynamical system [11; 8].Consider the following general problem. Let (G, S, μ) be a dynamical system.

Abstract Let $\mathcal {G}$ be a second countable, Hausdorff topological group. If $\mathcal {G}$ is locally compact, totally disconnected and T is an expansive automorphism then it is shown that the dynamical system $(\mathcal {G}, T)$ is topologically conjugate to the product of a symbolic full-shift on a finite number of symbols, a totally wandering, countable-state Markov shift and a permutation of a countable coset space of $\mathcal {G}$ that fixes the defining subgroup. In particular if the automorphism is transitive then $\mathcal {G}$ is compact and $(\mathcal {G}, T)$ is topologically conjugate to a full-shift on a finite number of symbols.

A generative probabilistic model for relational data consists of a family of probability distributions for relational structures over domains of different sizes. In most existing statistical relational learning (SRL) frameworks, these models are not projective in the sense that the marginal of the distribution for size-n structures on induced substructures of size k<n is equal to the given distribution for size-k structures. Projectivity is very beneficial in that it directly enables lifted inference and statistically consistent learning from sub-sampled relational structures. In earlier work some simple fragments of SRL languages have been identified that represent projective models. However, no complete characterization of, and representation framework for projective models has been given. In this paper we fill this gap: exploiting representation theorems for infinite exchangeable arrays we introduce a class of directed graphical latent variable models that precisely correspond to the class of projective relational models. As a by-product we also obtain a characterization for when a given distribution over size-k structures is the statistical frequency distribution of size-k substructures in much larger size-n structures. These results shed new light onto the old open problem of how to apply Halpern et al.'s ``random worlds approach'' for probabilistic inference to general relational signatures.

It is usually assumed that the t parameter in the equations of dynamics can be identified with the indication of the pointer of a clock. Things are not so simple, however. In fact, because the equations of motion can be written in terms of t but also in terms of t′ = f(t), f being any well-behaved function, any one of those infinite parametric times t′ is as good as the newtonian one to study classical dynamics in hamiltonian form. Here we show that, as a consequence of parametric invariance, one of the foundations of classical dynamics, the relation between the mathematical parametric time t in the equations of dynamics and the physical dynamical time σ that is measured with a particular clock (which is itself a dynamical system) requires the characterization of the clock that is used to achieve a complete treatment of dynamical systems. These two kinds of time, therefore, must be carefully distinguished. Furthermore, we show that not all the dynamical clock-times are necessarily equivalent and that the observational fingerprint of this nonequivalence has, curiously, the same form as that of the Pioneer anomaly. This suggests, therefore, that an acceleration to one another of the astronomical and the atomic times, tastr and tatom, can contribute to the total amount of the anomaly.
