We investigate the dynamics of unimodal maps $f$ of the interval restricted to the omega limit set $X$ of the critical point for cases where $X$ is a Cantor set. In particular, many cases where $X$ is a measure attractor of $f$ are included. We give two classes of examples of such maps, both generalizing unimodal Fibonacci maps [LM, BKNS]. In all cases $f_{|X}$ is a continuous factor of a generalized odometer (an adding machine-like dynamical system), and at the same time $f_{|X}$ factors onto an irrational circle rotation. In some of the examples we obtain irrational rotations on more complicated groups as factors.

The kneading map and the Hofbauer tower are tools, developed by F. Hofbauer and G. Keller, to study unimodal maps and the kneading theory. In this paper we survey the geometric properties of these tools. Results concerning the topological structure of the critical omega-limit set are obtained.

AbstractFor an arbitrary non-renormalizable unimodal map of the interval,f:I→I, with negative Schwarzian derivative, we construct a related mapFdefined on a countable union of intervals Δ. For each interval Δ,Frestricted to Δ is a diffeomorphism which coincides with some iterate offand whose range is a fixed subinterval ofI. IfFsatisfies conditions of the Folklore Theorem, we callfexpansion inducing. Letcbe a critical point off. Forfsatisfyingf″(c) ≠ 0, we give sufficient conditions for expansion inducing. One of the consequences of expansion inducing is that Milnor's conjecture holds forf: the ω-limit set of Lebesgue almost every point is the interval [f2,f(c)]. An important step in the proof is a starting condition in the box case: if for initial boxes the ratio of their sizes is small enough, then subsequent ratios decrease at least exponentially fast and expansion inducing follows.

The orbit of the critical point of a nonlinear dynamical system defines a family of functions in the parameter space of the system. For unimodal maps a renormalization makes these functions indistinguishable over a wide range of parameter values. The universal representation of these functions leads directly to a number of interesting results: (1) the positions in the parameter space of the windows of order; (2) the sizes of the windows of order; (3) measures of distortion in the window structure; and (4) various generalized Feigenbaum numbers. We explicitly discuss the examples of the quadratic and sine maps.

Abstract We prove that Kleinian groups whose limit sets are Cantor sets of Hausdorff dimension < 1 are free. On the other hand we construct for any ε > 0 an example of a non-free purely hyperbolic Kleinian group whose limit set is a Cantor set of Hausdorff dimension < 1 + ε.

Following Brown [1992, 1993] we study maps of the real line into itself obtained from the modified Chua equations. We fix our attention on a one-parameter family of such maps, which seems to be typical. For a large range of parameters, invariant intervals exist. In such an invariant interval, the map is piecewise continuous, with most of pieces of continuity mapped in a monotone way onto the whole interval. However, on the central piece there is a critical point. This allows us to find sometimes a smaller invariant interval on which the map is unimodal. In such a way, we get one-parameter families of smooth unimodal maps, very similar to the well-known family of logistic maps x ↦ ax(1−x). We study more closely one of those and show that these maps have negative Schwarzian derivative. This implies the existence of at most one attracting periodic orbit. Moreover, there is a set of parameters of positive measure for which chaos occurs.

A modified Brans–Dicke theory (abbreviated as GBD) is proposed by generalizing the Ricci scalar [Formula: see text] to an arbitrary function [Formula: see text] in the original BD action. It can be found that the GBD theory has some interesting properties, such as solving the problem of PPN value without introducing the so-called chameleon mechanism (comparing with the [Formula: see text] modified gravity), making the state parameter to crossover the phantom boundary: [Formula: see text] without introducing the negative kinetic term (comparing with the quintom model). In the GBD theory, the gravitational field equation and the cosmological evolutional equations have been derived. In the framework of cosmology, we apply the dynamical system approach to investigate the stability of the GBD model. A five-variable cosmological dynamical system and three critical points ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) are obtained in the GBD model. After calculation, it is shown that the critical point [Formula: see text] corresponds to the radiation dominated universe and it is unstable. The critical point [Formula: see text] is unstable, which corresponds to the geometrical dark energy dominated universe. While for case of [Formula: see text], according to the center manifold theory, this critical point is stable, and it corresponds to geometrical dark energy dominated de Sitter universe ([Formula: see text]).

This paper contributes the dynamics for stochastic Benjamin–Bona–Mahony (BBM) equations on an unbounded 3D-channel with a multiplicative noise. An interesting feature is that the noise has a Laplace-operator multiplier, which seems not to appear in any literature for the study of stochastic PDE. After translating the stochastic BBM equation into a random equation and deducing a random dynamical system, we obtain both existence and semi-continuity of random attractors for this random system in the Sobolev space. The convergence of the system can be verified without the lower bound assumption of the nonlinear derivative. The tail-estimate is achieved by using a square of the usual cutoff function and by a careful analysis of the solution’s biquadrate. A spectrum method is also applied to prove the collective limit-set compactness.

We construct purely loxodromic, geometrically finite, free Kleinian groups acting on S3 whose limit sets are wild Cantor sets. Our construction is closely related to the construction of the wild Fox–Artin arc.

In this paper we give mixing properties (ergodic, weak-mixng and strong-mixing) to a dynamical system on the Cantor set by showing that the one-sided(12,12)-shift map is isomorphic to a measure preserving transformation defined on the Cantor set
