Relationships among some chaotic properties of non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems

This paper is concerned with relationships among some chaotic properties of non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems. Some relationships among weak mixing, topologically weak mixing, generic chaos, dense chaos, and sensitivity are investigated. In addition, some equivalent conditions of sensitivity are given and the relationships between sensitivity and Li–Yorke sensitivity are obtained. These results generalize some existing results of autonomous discrete systems, some of which relax the corresponding conditions.     

The fundamental existence theorem on invariant fiber bundles

For discrete dynamical systems the theory of invariant manifolds is well known to be of vital importance. In terms of difference equations this theory is basically concerned with autonomous equations. However, the crucial and currently most difficult questions in this field are related to non-periodic, in particular chaotic motions. Since this topic - even in the autonomous context is an intrinsically time-variant matter. There is and urgent need for a non-autonomous version of invariant manifold theory. In this paper we present we present a very general version of the classical result on stable and unstable manifolds for hyperbolic fixed points of diffeomorphisms. In fact, we drop the assumption of invertibility of the mapping, we consider non-autonomous difference equations rather than mappings In effect, we generalize the notion of invariant manifold to the concept of invariant fiber bundle.

A remark on banks theorem

ABSTRACT

For discrete autonomous dynamical systems, it was found that in the three conditions defining Devaney chaos, topological transitivity and dense periodic points together imply sensitive dependence on initial condition (Banks, Brooks, Cairns, Davis and Stacey, On Devaney's definition of chaos, The Amer. Math. Monthly 99 (1992), pp. 332–334). In this paper, we give the definition of finitely generated non-autonomous dynamical systems (NADS) and generalize the Banks et al. theorem to the finitely generated NADS.     

关于非自治动力系统中的h-极小覆盖

设（X,d1,f1∞）与（Y ,d2,g1,∞）为两个非自治动力系统,h是从（X,d1,f．∞）到（Y,d2,g1∞）的拓扑半共轭．通过对自治动力系统中的h一极小覆盖的研究,本文得到了以下结论：1）对于任意的Y∈Y及X∈h-1（y）,orb（x,f1∞）被h映射为orb（y,g1∞）,w（x,f1∞）被h映射为w（y,g1∞）;2）在（X,d1,f1∞）中引入关于拓扑半共轭的h-极小覆盖的定义,证明了h一极小覆盖的存在性;3）对于任意的XEX和Y∈Y,在（w（z,f1∞）,f1∞。（x,f1,∞）与（w（y,g∞）,g1,∞（y,g1∞））均构成原系统的子系统的前提下,R（f1∞）被h映射为R（g1∞）．这些结论丰富了非自治动力系统的内容．     

Switching systems and entropy

Switching systems are non-autonomous dynamical systems obtained by switching between two or more autonomous dynamical systems as time goes on. They can be mainly found in control theory, physics, economy, biomathematics, chaotic cryptography and of course in the theory of dynamical systems, in both discrete and continuous time. Much of the recent interest in these systems is related to the emergence of new properties by the mechanism of switching, a phenomenon known in the literature as Parrondo's paradox. In this paper we consider a discrete-time switching system composed of two affine transformations and show that the switched dynamics has the same topological entropy as the switching sequence. The complexity of the switching sequence, as measured by the topological entropy, is fully transferred, for example, to the switched dynamics in this particular case.     

Stability and Controllability in Non-autonomous Time-discrete Dynamical Systems

In this paper stability and attractivity in non-autonomous time-discrete dynamical systems is investigated with the aid of Lyapunov functions. The results are applied to the problem of stabilization of controlled systems by feedback controls. In the final section of the paper we give sufficient conditions for norm-bounded null-controllability of linear systems.     

Non-autonomous perturbation of autonomous semilinear differential equations: Continuity of local stable and unstable manifolds

In this paper we prove a result on lower semicontinuity of pullback attractors for dynamical systems given by semilinear differential equations in a Banach space. The situation considered is such that the perturbed dynamical system is non-autonomous whereas the limiting dynamical system is autonomous and has an attractor given as union of unstable manifold of hyperbolic equilibrium points. Starting with a semilinear autonomous equation with a hyperbolic equilibrium solution and introducing a very small non-autonomous perturbation we prove the existence of a hyperbolic global solution for the perturbed equation near this equilibrium. Then we prove that the local unstable and stable manifolds associated to them are given as graphs (roughness of dichotomy plays a fundamental role here). Moreover, we prove the continuity of this local unstable and stable manifolds with respect to the perturbation. With that result we conclude the lower semicontinuity of pullback attractors.     

Persistence in systems of asymptotically autonomous difference equations

Asymptotically autonomous dynamical systems, both continuous and discrete, arise in the study of physical and biological systems that are modeled with explicit time-dependence.Convergence properties of such dynamical systems can be used to simplify analysis. In this paper, results are derived concerning the limiting behavior of a general asymptotically autonomous system of difference equations and its relationship to the dynamics of its limiting system. Examples from the biological literature are given.     

Survival analysis for a periodic predator–prey model with prey impulsively unilateral diffusion in two patches

In this paper, we study a periodic predator–prey system with prey impulsively unilateral diffusion in two patches. Firstly, based on the results in [41], sufficient conditions on the existence, uniqueness and globally attractiveness of periodic solution for predator-free and prey-free systems are presented. Secondly, by using comparison theorem of impulsive differential equation and other analysis methods, sufficient and necessary conditions on the permanence and extinction of prey species x with predator have other food source are established. Finally, the theoretical results both for non-autonomous system and corresponding autonomous system are confirmed by numerical simulations, from which we can see some interesting phenomena happen.     

Approximate Forward Attractors of Non-Autonomous Dynamical Systems

In this paper the forward asymptotical behavior of non-autonomous dynamical systems and their attractors are investigated. Under general conditions, the authors show that every neighborhood of pullback attractor has forward attracting property.     

Sharp conditions for global stability of Lotka-Volterra systems with distributed delays

We give a criterion for the global attractivity of a positive equilibrium of n-dimensional non-autonomous Lotka-Volterra systems with distributed delays. For a class of autonomous Lotka-Volterra systems, we show that such a criterion is sharp, in the sense that it provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability independently of the choice of the delay functions. The global attractivity of positive equilibria is established by imposing a diagonal dominance of the instantaneous negative feedback terms, and relies on auxiliary results showing the boundedness of all positive solutions. The paper improves and generalizes known results in the literature, namely by considering systems with distributed delays rather than discrete delays.     

Single Parameter Dissipativity and Attractors in DiscreteTirne Asynchronous Systems ∗

Discrete time nonautonomous dynamical systems generated by nonautonomous difference equations are formulated as discrete time skew—product systems consisting of cocycle state mappings that are driven by discrete time autonomous dynamical systems. Forwards and pullback attractors are two possible generalizations of autonomous attractors to such systems. Their existence follows from appropriate forwards or pullback dissipativity conditions. For discrete time nonautonomous dynamical systems generated by asynchronous systems with frequency updating components such a dissipativity condition is usually known for a single starting parameter value of the driving system. Additional conditions that then ensure the existence of a forwards or pullback attractor for such an asynchronous system are investigated here     

Chaos induced by weak A-coupled-expansion of non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems

This paper focuses on chaos induced by weak A-coupled-expansion of non-autonomous discrete systems in compact subsets of metric spaces and in bounded and closed subsets of complete metric spaces, separately. A new concept of weak A-coupled-expansion for non-autonomous discrete systems, whose condition is weaker than that of A-coupled-expansion, is introduced, and several new criteria of chaos induced by weak A-coupled-expansion of non-autonomous discrete systems are established. By applying some close relationships between chaotic dynamical behaviours of the original system and its induced systems, two criteria of chaos are established. One example is provided for illustration.     

Asymptotic stability of discrete cocycles

We introduce the notion of asymptotic stability of sequences of multifunctions associated with discrete cocycles. Some sufficient conditions for existence of attracting sets are given. The use of the topological (Kuratowski's) limits, as less complicated as commonly used Hausdorff metric, let us to weaken many standard assumptions. We show that in considered case existence of attractor is a property of a cocycle mapping itself and does not depend on properties of a parameter nor a state space. The obtained results generalize earlier on iterated function systems and can be applied for non-autonomous as well as random dynamical systems.     

Pullback attractors for asymptotically compact non-autonomous dynamical systems

First, we introduce the concept of pullback asymptotically compact non-autonomous dynamical system as an extension of the similar concept in the autonomous framework. Our definition is different from that of asymptotic compactness already used in the theory of random and non-autonomous dynamical systems (as developed by Crauel, Flandoli, Kloeden, Schmalfuss, amongst others) which means the existence of a (random or time-dependent) family of compact attracting sets. Next, we prove a result ensuring the existence of a pullback attractor for a non-autonomous dynamical system under the general assumptions of pullback asymptotic compactness and the existence of a pullback absorbing family of sets. This attractor is minimal and, in most practical applications, it is unique. Finally, we illustrate the theory with a 2D Navier–Stokes model in an unbounded domain.     

Universal theory of dynamical chaos in nonlinear dissipative systems of differential equations

A new universal theory of dynamical chaos in nonlinear dissipative systems of differential equations including ordinary and partial, autonomous and non-autonomous differential equations and differential equations with delay arguments is presented in this paper. Four corner-stones lie in the foundation of this theory: the Feigenbaum’s theory of period doubling bifurcations in one-dimensional mappings, the Sharkovskii’s theory of bifurcations of cycles of an arbitrary period up to the cycle of period three in one-dimensional mappings, the Magnitskii’s theory of rotor type singular points of two-dimensional non-autonomous systems of differential equations as a bridge between one-dimensional mappings and differential equations and the theory of homoclinic cascade of bifurcations of stable cycles in nonlinear differential equations. All propositions of the theory are strictly proved and illustrated by numerous analytical and computing examples.     

Invariant manifolds, global attractors, almost automorphic and almost periodic solutions of non-autonomous differential equations

The paper is devoted to the study of non-autonomous evolution equations: invariant manifolds, compact global attractors, almost periodic and almost automorphic solutions. We study this problem in the framework of general non-autonomous (cocycle) dynamical systems. First, we prove that under some conditions such systems admit an invariant continuous section (an invariant manifold). Then, we obtain the conditions for the existence of a compact global attractor and characterize its structure. Third, we derive a criterion for the existence of almost periodic and almost automorphic solutions of different classes of non-autonomous differential equations (both ODEs (in finite and infinite spaces) and PDEs).     

Stability of random attractors under perturbation and approximation

The comparison of the long-time behaviour of dynamical systems and their numerical approximations is not straightforward since in general such methods only converge on bounded time intervals. However, one can still compare their asymptotic behaviour using the global attractor, and this is now standard in the deterministic autonomous case. For random dynamical systems there is an additional problem, since the convergence of numerical methods for such systems is usually given only on average. In this paper the deterministic approach is extended to cover stochastic differential equations, giving necessary and sufficient conditions for the random attractor arising from a random dynamical system to be upper semi-continuous with respect to a given family of perturbations or approximations.     

A theory for synchronization of dynamical systems

In this paper, a theory for synchronization of multiple dynamical systems under specific constraints is developed from a theory of discontinuous dynamical systems. The concepts on synchronization of two or more dynamical systems to specific constraints are presented. The synchronization, desynchronization and penetration of multiple dynamical systems to multiple specified constraints are discussed, and the necessary and sufficient conditions for such synchronicity are developed. The synchronicity of two dynamical systems to a single specific constraint and to multiple specific constraints is investigated. Finally, the synchronization and the corresponding complexity for multiple slave systems with multiple master systems are discussed briefly. The meaning of synchronization for dynamical systems with constraints is extended as a generalized, universal concept. The theory presented in this paper may be as a universal theory for dynamical systems. The paper provides a theoretic frame work in order to control slave systems which can be synchronized with master systems through specific constraints in a general sense.
