We show that for almost every ergodic $S$-integer dynamical system the radius of convergence of the dynamical zeta function is no larger than $\exp(-\frac{1}{2}h_{\rm top})<1$. In the arithmetic case almost every zeta function is irrational.We conjecture that for almost every ergodic $S$-integer dynamical system the radius of convergence of the zeta function is exactly $\exp(-h_{\rm top})<1$ and the zeta function is irrational.In an important geometric case (the $S$-integer systems corresponding to isometric extensions of the full $p$-shift or, more generally, linear algebraic cellular automata on the full $p$-shift) we show that the conjecture holds with the possible exception of at most two primes $p$.Finally, we explicitly describe the structure of $S$-integer dynamical systems as isometric extensions of (quasi-)hyperbolic dynamical systems.

This paper exposes a procedure for modeling and solving linear systems using continuous-valued cellular automata. The original part of this work consists on showing how the cells in the automaton may contain both real values and operators for carrying out numerical calculations and solve a desired problem. In this sense the automaton acts as a program, where data and operators are mixed in the evolution space for obtaining the correct calculations. As an example, Euler's integration method is implemented in the configuration space in order to achieve an approximated solution for a dynamical system. Three examples showing linear behaviors are presented.

In the following text we prove that in a generalized shift dynamical system (XГ, σφ) for infinite countable Г and discrete X with at least two elements the following statements are equivalent: the dynamical system (XГ, σφ) is chaotic in the sense of Devaneythe dynamical system (XГ, σφ) is topologically transitivethe map φ: Г → Г is one to one without any periodic point.Also for infinite countable Г and finite discrete X with at least two elements (XГ, σφ) is exact Devaney chaotic, if and only if φ: Г → Г is one to one and φ: Г → Г has niether periodic points nor φ-backwarding infinite sequences.

AbstractIf (X, f) is a compact metric, finite-dimensional dynamical system with a zero-dimensional set of periodic points, then there is a zero-dimensional compact metric dynamical system (C, g) and a finite-to-one (in fact, at most (n + l)n-to-one) surjection h: C → X such that h o g = f o h. An example shows that the requirement on the set of periodic points is necessary.

We study Livsic's problem of finding $\phi$ satisfying $X\phi=\eta$, where $\eta$ is a given function and $X$ is a given Anosov vector field. We show that, if $\phi$ is a continuous solution and $X,\eta$ are analytic, then $\phi$ is analytic. We use the previous result to show that if two low-dimensional Anosov systems are topologically conjugate and the Lyapunov exponents at corresponding periodic points agree, the conjugacy is analytic. Analogous results hold for diffeomorphisms.

A finite dynamical system is a function $f : A^n \to A^n$ where $A$ is a finite alphabet, used to model a network of interacting entities. The main feature of a finite dynamical system is its interaction graph, which indicates which local functions depend on which variables; the interaction graph is a qualitative representation of the interactions amongst entities on the network. The rank of a finite dynamical system is the cardinality of its image; the periodic rank is the number of its periodic points. In this paper, we determine the maximum rank and the maximum periodic rank of a finite dynamical system with a given interaction graph over any non-Boolean alphabet. The rank and the maximum rank are both computable in polynomial time. We also obtain a similar result for Boolean finite dynamical systems (also known as Boolean networks) whose interaction graphs are contained in a given digraph. We then prove that the average rank is relatively close (as the size of the alphabet is large) to the maximum. The results mentioned above only deal with the parallel update schedule. We finally determine the maximum rank over all block-sequential update schedules and the supremum periodic rank over all complete update schedules.

AbstractWe extend results of Bowen and Manning on systems with good symbolic dynamics. In particular we identify the class of dynamical systems that admit Markov partitions. For these systems the Manning-Bowen method of counting periodic points is explained in terms of topological coincidence numbers. We show, in particular, that an expansive system with a finite cover by rectangles has a rational zeta function.

AbstractThis paper contains a study of attractors in cellular automata, particularly the minimal attractors as defined by J. Milnor. Milnor's definition of attractor uses a measure on the state space; the measures that we consider are Bernoulli product measures. Given a Bernoulli measure it is shown that a cellular automaton has at most one minimal attractor; when there is one, it is the omega-limit set of almost all points. Examples are given to show that the minimal attractor can change as the Bernoulli measure is varied. Other examples illustrate the difference between this result and the corresponding result that is obtained by replacing Milnor's definition of attractor by the purely topological definition used by C. Conley. The examples also show that certain invariant sets of cellular automata are less well-behaved than one might hope: for instance the periodic points are not necessarily dense in the nonwandering set.

Let [Formula: see text] be a [Formula: see text] random partially hyperbolic dynamical system. For the unstable foliation, the corresponding unstable metric entropy, unstable topological entropy and unstable pressure via the dynamics of [Formula: see text] on the unstable foliation are introduced and investigated. A version of Shannon–McMillan–Breiman Theorem for unstable metric entropy is given, and a variational principle for unstable pressure (and hence for unstable entropy) is obtained. Moreover, as an application of the variational principle, equilibrium states for the unstable pressure including Gibbs [Formula: see text]-states are investigated.

For a measure-preserving dynamical system $({\mathcal{X}},f,\unicode[STIX]{x1D707})$, we consider the time series of maxima $M_{n}=\max \{X_{1},\ldots ,X_{n}\}$ associated to the process $X_{n}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}(f^{n-1}(x))$ generated by the dynamical system for some observable $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}:{\mathcal{X}}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. Using a point-process approach we establish weak convergence of the process $Y_{n}(t)=a_{n}(M_{[nt]}-b_{n})$ to an extremal process $Y(t)$ for suitable scaling constants $a_{n},b_{n}\in \mathbb{R}$. Convergence here takes place in the Skorokhod space $\mathbb{D}(0,\infty )$ with the $J_{1}$ topology. We also establish distributional results for the record times and record values of the corresponding maxima process.

We study asynchronous cellular automata (ACA) induced by symmetric Boolean functions [1]. These systems can be considered as sequential dynamical systems (SDS) over words, a class of dynamical systems that consists of (a) a finite, labeled graph Y with vertex set {v1,…,vn} and where each vertex vi has a state xvi in a finite field K, (b) a sequence of functions (Fvi,Y)i, and (c) a word w = (w1,…,wk), where each wi is a vertex in Y. The function Fvi,Y updates the state of vertex vi as a function of the state of vi and its Y-neighbors and maps all other vertex states identically. The SDS is the composed map [Formula: see text]. In the particular case of ACA, the graph is the circle graph on n vertices (Y = Circ n), and all the maps Fvi are induced by a common Boolean function. Our main result is the identification of all w-independent ACA, that is, all ACA with periodic points that are independent of the word (update schedule) w. In general, for each w-independent SDS, there is a finite group whose structure contains information about for example SDS with specific phase space properties. We classify and enumerate the set of periodic points for all w-independent ACA, and we also compute their associated groups in the case of Y = Circ 4. Finally, we analyze invertible ACA and offer an interpretation of S35 as the group of an SDS over the three-dimensional cube with local functions induced by nor3 + nand3.
