Abstract: | The measure of scrambled sets of interval self-maps was studied by many authors, including Smítal, Misiurewicz, Bruckner and Hu, and Xiong and Yang. In this note, first we introduce the notion of ``-chaos" which is related to chaos in the sense of Li-Yorke, and we prove a general theorem which is an improvement of a theorem of Kuratowski on independent sets. Second, we apply the result to scrambled sets of higher dimensional cases. In particular, we show that if a map of the unit -cube is -chaotic on , then for any there is a map such that and are topologically conjugate, and has a scrambled set which has Lebesgue measure 1, and hence if , then there is a homeomorphism with a scrambled set satisfying that is an -set in and has Lebesgue measure 1. |
