Topological Chaos for Differential Inclusions with Multivalued Impulses on Tori

A multivalued version of the Ivanov inequality for the lower estimate of topological entropy of admissible maps is applied to differential inclusions with multivalued impulses on tori via the associated Poincaré translation operators along their trajectories. The topological chaos in the sense of a positive topological entropy is established in terms of the asymptotic Nielsen numbers of the impulsive maps being greater than 1. This condition implies at the same time the existence of subharmonic periodic solutions with infinitely many variety of periods. Under a similar condition, the coexistence of subharmonic periodic solutions of all natural orders is also carried out.

Chaos for Differential Equations with Multivalued Impulses

The deterministic chaos in the sense of a positive topological entropy is investigated for differential equations with multivalued impulses. Two definitions of topological entropy are examined for three classes of multivalued maps: [Formula: see text]-valued maps, [Formula: see text]-maps and admissible maps in the sense of Górniewicz. The principal tool for its lower estimates and, in particular, its positivity are the Ivanov-type inequalities in terms of the asymptotic Nielsen numbers. The obtained results are then applied to impulsive differential equations via the associated Poincaré translation operators along their trajectories. The main theorems for chaotic differential equations with multivalued impulses are formulated separately on compact subsets of Euclidean spaces and on tori. Several illustrative examples are supplied.

Multiple Periodic Solutions and Fractal Attractors of Differential Equations with n-Valued Impulses

Ordinary differential equations with n-valued impulses are examined via the associated Poincaré translation operators from three perspectives: (i) the lower estimate of the number of periodic solutions on the compact subsets of Euclidean spaces and, in particular, on tori; (ii) weakly locally stable (i.e., non-ejective in the sense of Browder) invariant sets; (iii) fractal attractors determined implicitly by the generating vector fields, jointly with Devaney’s chaos on these attractors of the related shift dynamical systems. For (i), the multiplicity criteria can be effectively expressed in terms of the Nielsen numbers of the impulsive maps. For (ii) and (iii), the invariant sets and attractors can be obtained as the fixed points of topologically conjugated operators to induced impulsive maps in the hyperspaces of the compact subsets of the original basic spaces, endowed with the Hausdorff metric. Five illustrative examples of the main theorems are supplied about multiple periodic solutions (Examples 1–3) and fractal attractors (Examples 4 and 5).

Ivanov’s Theorem for Admissible Pairs Applicable to Impulsive Differential Equations and Inclusions on Tori

The main aim of this article is two-fold: (i) to generalize into a multivalued setting the classical Ivanov theorem about the lower estimate of a topological entropy in terms of the asymptotic Nielsen numbers, and (ii) to apply the related inequality for admissible pairs to impulsive differential equations and inclusions on tori. In case of a positive topological entropy, the obtained result can be regarded as a nontrivial contribution to deterministic chaos for multivalued impulsive dynamics.

Relative Nielsen Numbers, Braids and Periodic Segments

The aim of this paper is to establish a connection between the method of period segments and the relative Nielsen fixed point theory. We prove that if
