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.

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.

This study demonstrates the devil's staircase structure of topological entropy functions for one-dimensional symmetric unimodal maps with a gap inside. The results are obtained by using kneading theory and are helpful in investigating the communication of chaos.

AbstractGiven an integer n ≥ 3, a metrizable compact topological n-manifold X with boundary, and a finite positive Borel measure μ on X, we prove that for the typical homeomorphism ƒ : X → X, it is true that for μ-almost every point x in X the restriction of ƒ (respectively of f-1) to the omega limit set ω( ƒ ; x) (respectively to the alpha limit set α( ƒ ; x)) is topologically conjugate to the universal odometer.

AbstractIn this article we establish the following result: if a nondegenerate quadratic endomorphism of the plane has no fixed points, then every point has empty omega-limit set and alpha-limit set. It is also shown that there exists a six parameter family open and dense in the space of all quadratic mappings of the plane (even those having fixed points). The degenerate case (when the quadratic forms of both components are linearly dependent), for which the theorem fails, is considered in the last section.

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 paper studies orbits in a function space described by solutions of a system of reaction–diffusion equations in a bounded domain with a boundary condition of homogeneous Robin type. The omega-limit set of a bounded semi-orbit is shown to have a simple structure, provided that certain hypotheses are satisfied. For a two-dimensional system of Fitz-Hugh Nagumo type, these hypotheses yield explicit sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one periodic trajectory.
