Abstract We consider a locally path-connected compact metric space K with finite first Betti number $\textrm {b}_1(K)$ and a flow $(K, G)$ on K such that G is abelian and all G-invariant functions $f\,{\in}\, \text{\rm C}(K)$ are constant. We prove that every equicontinuous factor of the flow $(K, G)$ is isomorphic to a flow on a compact abelian Lie group of dimension less than ${\textrm {b}_1(K)}/{\textrm {b}_0(K)}$ . For this purpose, we use and provide a new proof for Theorem 2.12 of Hauser and Jäger [Monotonicity of maximal equicontinuous factors and an application to toral flows. Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.147 (2019), 4539–4554], which states that for a flow on a locally connected compact space the quotient map onto the maximal equicontinuous factor is monotone, i.e., has connected fibers. Our alternative proof is a simple consequence of a new characterization of the monotonicity of a quotient map $p\colon K\to L$ between locally connected compact spaces K and L that we obtain by characterizing the local connectedness of K in terms of the Banach lattice $\textrm {C}(K)$ .

AbstractIn the study of a dynamical systemf:X→Xgenerated by a continuous mapfon a compact metric spaceX, thechain recurrent setis an object of fundamental interest. This set was defined by C. Conley, who showed that it has two rather different looking, but equivalent, definitions: one given in terms of ‘approximate orbits’ through individual points (pseudo-orbits, or ε-chains), and the other given in terms of the global structure of the class of ‘attractors’ and ‘basins of attraction’ off. The first of these definitions generalizes directly to dynamical systems on any metric space, compact or not. The main purpose of this paper is to extend the second definition to non-compact spaces in such a way that it remains equivalent to the first.

Abstract In this article the properties of attractors of dynamical systems in locally compact metric space are discussed. Existing conditions of attractors and related results are obtained by the near isolating block which we present.

AbstractDownarowicz [Entropy structure. J. Anal.96 (2005), 57–116] stated a variational principle for the tail entropy for invertible continuous dynamical systems of a compact metric space. We give here an elementary proof of this variational principle. Furthermore, we extend the result to the non-invertible case.

Abstract A strong submeasure on a compact metric space X is a sub-linear and bounded operator on the space of continuous functions on X. A strong submeasure is positive if it is non-decreasing. By the Hahn–Banach theorem, a positive strong submeasure is the supremum of a non-empty collection of measures whose masses are uniformly bounded from above. There are many natural examples of continuous maps of the form $f:U\rightarrow X$ , where X is a compact metric space and $U\subset X$ is an open-dense subset, where f cannot extend to a reasonable function on X. We can mention cases such as transcendental maps of $\mathbb {C}$ , meromorphic maps on compact complex varieties, or continuous self-maps $f:U\rightarrow U$ of a dense open subset $U\subset X$ where X is a compact metric space. For the aforementioned mentioned the use of measures is not sufficient to establish the basic properties of ergodic theory, such as the existence of invariant measures or a reasonable definition of measure-theoretic entropy and topological entropy. In this paper we show that strong submeasures can be used to completely resolve the issue and establish these basic properties. In another paper we apply strong submeasures to the intersection of positive closed $(1,1)$ currents on compact Kähler manifolds.

This paper describes some sufficient conditions that ensure the convergence of successive random applications of a family of mappings {Γα : α ∈ A} on a compact metric space (X, d) to a stochastic fixed point. The results are similar in spirit to a recent result of Yahav (1975).

<p>We present some results concerning the topological dynamics of antitriangular maps, F:X<sup>2</sup>→ X<sup>2 </sup>with the formvF(x,y)=(g(y),f(x)), where (X,d) is a compact metric space and f,g : X→ X are continuous maps. We make an special analysis in the case of X = [0,1].</p>
