Graph maps whose periodic points form a closed set

A continuous map f from a graph G to itself is called a graph map. Denote by P(f), R(f), ω(f), Ω(f) and CR(f) the sets of periodic points, recurrent points, ω-limit points, non-wandering points and chain recurrent points of f respectively. It is well known that P(f)⊂R(f)⊂ω(f)⊂Ω(f)⊂CR(f). Block and Franke (1983) [5] proved that if f:I→I is an interval map and P(f) is a closed set, then CR(f)=P(f). In this paper we show that if f:G→G is a graph map and P(f) is a closed set, then ω(f)=R(f). We also give an example to show that, for general graph maps f with P(f) being a closed set, the conclusion ω(f)=R(f) cannot be strengthened to Ω(f)=R(f) or ω(f)=P(f).     

Non-wandering points and the depth for graph maps

Let G be a graph and f:G→G be continuous.Denote by R(f) andΩ(f) the set of recurrent points and the set of non-wandering points of f respectively.LetΩ_0(f) = G andΩ_n(f)=Ω(f|_(Ω_(n-1)(f))) for all n∈N.The minimal m∈NU {∞} such thatΩ_m(f)=Ω_(m 1)(f) is called the depth of f.In this paper,we show thatΩ_2 (f)=(?) and the depth of f is at most 2.Furthermore,we obtain some properties of non-wandering points of f.     

Fixed points and graph images for minimal maps on the once punctured torus

A fixed point detection theorem for a family of maps defined on the once punctured torus is proved. As a consequence, we produce an example of a homotopy class [f] of self-maps on the once punctured torus that illustrates the following: (i) there is a map in the homotopy class that has no fixed points, and (ii) if the image of f lies in a 1-complex that embeds as a homotopy equivalence, then f must have a fixed point.     

Non-wandering Expanding Maps on Branched 1-Manifolds and Smale–Williams Solenoids

In this paper, we give a criterion of whether there are non-wandering expanding maps on a given branched 1-manifold. As an application, we give an example of a dynamic on a 3-manifold having non-zero first Betti number, the non-wander sets of which are two Smale–Williams solenoids.     

Fixed points of contractive multivalued maps

For a class of contractive multivalued maps defined on a complete absolute retract and with closed bounded values, the set of fixed points is proved to be an absolute retract. This result unifies and extends to arbitrary absolute retracts both Theorem 1 by Ricceri [Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei Rend. Cl.Sci. Fis. Mat. Natur. (8) 81 (1987), 283--286] and Theorem 1 by Bressan, Cellina, and Fryszkowski [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 112 (1991), 413--418].

     

Recurrent critical points and typical limit sets of rational maps

We consider a rational map of the Riemann sphere with normalized Lebesgue measure and show that if there is a subset of the Julia set of positive -measure whose points have limit sets not contained in the union of the limit sets of recurrent critical points, then for -a.e. point and is conservative, ergodic and exact.

     

Random fixed points of discontinuous random maps

We prove some random fixed-point theorems for random maps which are not necessarily continuous. This may lead to the discovery of some new results in random fixed-point theory for discontinuous maps.     

Nonwandering set of points of skew-product maps with base having closed set of periodic points

The aim of the present paper is to study the structure of the nonwandering set of points Ω() for the skew-product maps of the unit square , (x,y)→(f(x),g(x,y)), with base f having closed set of periodic points. For every and every point (x,y) with x periodic of period p_x by f and y not chain recurrent of F^p_x|_Ix, where , we prove that (x,y)Ω(F). On the other hand we construct a map with an isolated fixed point x₀ of f and y₀Ω(F|_Ix0) such that (x₀,y₀)Ω(F₀).

On the triple points of singular maps

The number of triple points (mod 2) of a self-transverse immersion of a closed 2n-manifold M into 3n-space are known to equal one of the Stiefel-Whitney numbers of M. This result is generalized to the case of generic (i.e. stable) maps with singularities. Besides triple points and Stiefel-Whitney numbers, a certain linking number of the manifold of singular values with the rest of the image is involved in the generalized equation which corrects an erroneous formula in [9].? If n is even and the closed manifold is oriented then the equations mentioned above make sense over the integers. Together, the integer- and mod 2 generalized equations imply that a certain Stiefel-Whitney number of closed oriented 4k-manifolds vanishes. This Stiefel-Whitney number is in fact the first in a family which vanish on such manifolds. Received: October 12, 2001     

Equicontinuity of maps on a dendrite with finite branch points

Let(T, d) be a dendrite with finite branch points and f be a continuous map from T to T. Denote byω(x,f) and P(f) the ω-limit set of x under f and the set of periodic points of,respectively. Write Ω(x,f) = {y| there exist a sequence of points x_k E T and a sequence of positive integers n_1 n_2 … such that lim_(k→∞)x_k=x and lim_(k→∞)f~(n_k)(x_k) =y}. In this paper, we show that the following statements are equivalent:(1) f is equicontinuous.(2) ω(x, f) = Ω(x,f) for any x∈T.(3) ∩_(n=1)~∞f~n(T) = P(f),and ω(x,f)is a periodic orbit for every x ∈ T and map h : x→ω(x,f)(x ET)is continuous.(4) Ω(x,f) is a periodic orbit for any x∈T.     

Fixed points of order‐reversing maps in ℝ and chemical equilibrium

The problem of computing the equilibrium state of a reversible chemical reaction network has a natural interpretation as a fixed‐point problem. Several authors have used fixed‐point iterations in this context, yet there are no comprehensive investigations into the convergence of the algorithm. We address this void by studying the larger problem of the existence and uniqueness of fixed points, and the convergence of fixed‐point iterations, for order‐reversing maps in ?. By using the Thompson metric, we are able to apply fixed‐point theorems based on the Lipschitz condition and obtain upper bounds on judiciously defined approximation errors.

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.     

Equilibria and fixed points of set-valued maps with nonconvex and noncompact domains and ranges

Let C$C$ be a nonempty subset of a topological vector space E$E$. We state and prove new various fixed point theorems of Fan–Browder type for set-valued maps F:C→2^E$F:C\to 2^E$ such that C⊂F(C)$C\subset F\left(C\right)$ (called expansive), without assuming that the sets C$C$ and F(C)$F\left(C\right)$ are convex or compact or equal, and E$E$ is Hausdorff. Let K$K$ be a convex subset of E$E$ and let C$C$ be a nonempty subset of K$K$. Our proofs use a technique based on the investigations of the images of maps and restated for maps f:C×K→R∪{−∞,+∞}$f:C\times K\to \mathbb{R}\cup \{-\infty ,+\infty \}$ of G.X.-Z. Yuan’s results concerning the existence of equilibrium points and minimax inequalities for maps f:K×K→R∪{−∞,+∞}$f:K\times K\to \mathbb{R}\cup \{-\infty ,+\infty \}$. Examples are provided.

A note on the periodic orbits and topological entropy of graph maps

This paper deals with the relationship between the periodic orbits of continuous maps on graphs and the topological entropy of the map. We show that the topological entropy of a graph map can be approximated by the entropy of its periodic orbits.

     

Fixed points of approximable maps

We present a simple proof of the Leray-Schauder type theorem for approximable multimaps given recently by Ben-El-Mechaiekh and Idzik. We apply this theorem to obtain a Schaefer type theorem, the Birkhoff-Kellogg type theorems, a Penot type theorem for non-self-maps, and quasi-variational inequalities, all related to compact closed approximable maps.
