Closure of Periodic Points Over a Non-Archimedean Field

The closure of the periodic points of rational maps over a non-archimedeanfield is studied. An analogue of Montel's theorem over non-archimedeanfields is first proved. Then, it is shown that the (nonempty)Julia set of a rational map over a non-archimedean field iscontained in the closure of the periodic points.     

The set of dynamically special points

We call a point ??dynamically special?? if it has a dynamical property, which no other point has. We prove that, for continuous self maps of the real line, all dynamically special points are in the closure of the union of the full orbits of periodic points, critical points and limits at infinity. We completely describe the set of dynamically special points of real polynomial functions. The following characterization for the set of special points is also obtained: A subset of ${\mathbb{R}}$ is the set of dynamically special points for some continuous self map of ${\mathbb{R}}$ if and only if it is closed.     

The periodic points and the invariant set of an ϵ-contractive map

It is shown that the invariant set of an ϵ-contractive map f on a compact metric space X is the same as the set of periodic points of f. Furthermore, the set of periodic points of f is finite and, only assuming that X is locally compact, there is at most one periodic point in each component X. The theorems are applied to prove a known fixed-point theorem, a result concerning inverse limits, a result about periodic points of compositions, and a result showing that ϵ-contractive maps on continua are really contraction maps with a change in metric. It is shown that all our results hold for locally contractive maps on compact metric spaces.     

The structure of graph maps without periodic points

In this paper we show that any graph map without periodic points has only one minimal set. We describe a class of graph maps without periodic points. Our main result is to give a structure theorem of graph maps without periodic points, which states that any graph map without periodic points must be topologically conjugate to one of the described class. In addition, we give some applications of the structure theorem.     

The triangular maps with closed sets of periodic points

In a recent paper we provided a characterization of triangular maps of the square, i.e., maps given by F(x,y)=(f(x),gx(y)), satisfying condition (P1) that any chain recurrent point is periodic. For continuous maps of the interval, there is a list of 18 other conditions equivalent to (P1), including (P2) that there is no infinite ω-limit set, (P3) that the set of periodic points is closed and (P4) that any regularly recurrent point is periodic, for instance. We provide an almost complete classification among these conditions for triangular maps, improve a result given by C. Arteaga [C. Arteaga, Smooth triangular maps of the square with closed set of periodic points, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 196 (1995) 987-997] and state an open problem concerning minimal sets of the triangular maps. The paper solves partially a problem formulated by A.N. Sharkovsky in the eighties. The mentioned open problem, the validity of (P4) ⇒ (P3), is related to the question whether some regularly recurrent point lies in the fibres over an f-minimal set possessing a regularly recurrent point. We answered this question in the positive for triangular maps with nondecreasing fiber maps. Consequently, the classification is completed for monotone triangular maps.     

On the existence of maximal ω-limit sets for dendrite maps

For interval maps and also for graph maps, every ω-limit set is a subset of a maximal one. In this note we construct a continuous map on a dendrite with no maximal ω-limit set. Moreover, the set of branch points is nowhere dense, every ω-limit set of the map is nowhere dense, the set of periodic points and the set of recurrent points are equal and the set of ω-limit points is not closed (an example with the last property was constructed by the authors already in [Ko?an Z, Kornecká-Kurková V, Málek M. On the centre and the set of omega-limit points of continuous maps on dendrites. Topol Appl 2009;156:2923-2931]).     

Rotation Numbers of Discontinuous Orientation-Preserving Circle Maps

We extend a few well-known results about orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the circle to orientation preserving circle maps, allowing even an infinite number of discontinuities. We define a set-valued map associated to the lift by filling the gaps in the graph, that shares many properties with continuous functions. Using elementary set-valued analysis, we prove existence and uniqueness of the rotation number, periodic limit orbit in the case when the latter is rational, and Cantor structure of the unique limit set when the rotation number is irrational. Moreover, the rotation number is found to be continuous with respect to the set-valued extension if we endow the space of such maps with the Haussdorff topology on the graph. For increasing continuous families of such maps, the set of parameter values where the rotation number is irrational is a Cantor set (up to a countable number of points).     

Non-wandering sets of the powers of dendrite maps

Let(X, d) be a metric space and f be a continuous map from X to X. Denote by EP(f)and Ω(f) the sets of eventually periodic points and non-wandering points of f, respectively. It is well known that for a tree map f, the following statements hold:(1) If x ∈Ω(f)-Ω(f~n) for some n ≥ 2,then x ∈ EP(f).(2) Ω(f) is contained in the closure of EP(f). The aim of this note is to show that the above results do not hold for maps of dendrites D with Card(End(D)) = ?0(the cardinal number of the set of positive integers).     

Non-autonomous periodic systems with Allee effects

A new class of maps called unimodal Allee maps are introduced. Such maps arise in the study of population dynamics in which the population goes extinct if its size falls below a threshold value. A unimodal Allee map is thus a unimodal map with three fixed points, a zero fixed point, a small positive fixed point, called threshold point, and a bigger positive fixed point, called the carrying capacity. In this paper, the properties and stability of the three fixed points are studied in the setting of non-autonomous periodic dynamical systems or difference equations. Finally, we investigate the bifurcation of periodic systems/difference equations when the system consists of two unimodal Allee maps.
