On a symbolic dynamical zeta function and applications

A symbolic dynamical zeta function for subshifts over a countable alphabet is analyzed. We present examples on interval maps and suspensions.     

The entropy theory of symbolic extensions

Fix a topological system (X,T), with its space K(X,T) of T-invariant Borel probabilities. If (Y,S) is a symbolic system (subshift) and :(Y,S)(X,T) is a topological extension (factor map), then the function h_ext on K(X,T) which assigns to each the maximal entropy of a measure on Y mapping to is called the extension entropy function of . The infimum of such functions over all symbolic extensions is called the symbolic extension entropy function and is denoted by h_sex. In this paper we completely characterize these functions in terms of functional analytic properties of an entropy structure on (X,T). The entropy structure is a sequence of entropy functions h_k defined with respect to a refining sequence of partitions of X (or of X×Z, for some auxiliary system (Z,R) with simple dynamics) whose boundaries have measure zero for all the invariant Borel probabilities. We develop the functional analysis and computational techniques to produce many dynamical examples; for instance, we resolve in the negative the question of whether the infimum of the topological entropies of symbolic extensions of (X,T) must always be attained, and we show that the maximum value of h_sex need not be achieved at an ergodic measure. We exhibit several characterizations of the asymptotically h-expansive systems of Misiurewicz, which emerge as a fundamental natural class in the context of the entropy structure. The results of this paper are required for the Downarowicz-Newhouse results [DN] on smooth dynamical systems.

Coupled-expanding maps and one-sided symbolic dynamical systems

This paper studies relationships between coupled-expanding maps and one-sided symbolic dynamical systems. The concept of coupled-expanding map is extended to a more general one: coupled-expansion for a transitive matrix. It is found that the subshift for a transitive matrix is strictly coupled-expanding for the matrix in certain disjoint compact subsets; the topological conjugacy of a continuous map in its compact invariant set of a metric space to a subshift for a transitive matrix has a close relationship with that the map is strictly coupled-expanding for the matrix in some disjoint compact subsets. A certain relationship between strictly coupled-expanding maps for a transitive matrix in disjoint bounded and closed subsets of a complete metric space and their topological conjugacy to the subshift for the matrix is also obtained. Dynamical behaviors of subshifts for irreducible matrices are then studied and several equivalent statements to chaos are obtained; especially, chaos in the sense of Li–Yorke is equivalent to chaos in the sense of Devaney for the subshift, and is also equivalent to that the domain of the subshift is infinite. Based on these results, several new criteria of chaos for maps are finally established via strict coupled-expansions for irreducible transitive matrices in compact subsets of metric spaces and in bounded and closed subsets of complete metric spaces, respectively, where their conditions are weaker than those existing in the literature.     

Minimal dynamical system with givenD-function and topological entropy

TheD-function is a new topological invariant introduced by the author in [3] to classify the minimal dynamical system and to generalize Sharkovskii's theorem on the coexistence of periodic orbits. We show that theD-function and the topological entropy are independent.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 45, No. 2, pp. 287–292, February, 1993.     

On entropy of dynamical systems with almost specification

We construct a family of shift spaces with almost specification and multiple measures of maximal entropy. This answers a question from Climenhaga and Thompson [Israel J. Math. 192 (2012), 785–817]. Elaborating on our examples we prove that sufficient conditions for every shift factor of a shift space to be intrinsically ergodic given by Climenhaga and Thompson are in some sense best possible; moreover, the weak specification property neither implies intrinsic ergodicity, nor follows from almost specification. We also construct a dynamical system with the weak specification property, which does not have the almost specification property. We prove that the minimal points are dense in the support of any invariant measure of a system with the almost specification property. Furthermore, if a system with almost specification has an invariant measure with non-trivial support, then it also has uniform positive entropy over the support of any invariant measure and cannot be minimal.     

Hilbertian Jamison sequences and rigid dynamical systems

A strictly increasing sequence (nk)_k?0 of positive integers is said to be a Hilbertian Jamison sequence if for any bounded operator T on a separable Hilbert space such that supk?0‖Tnk‖<+∞, the set of eigenvalues of modulus 1 of T is at most countable. We first give a complete characterization of such sequences. We then turn to the study of rigidity sequences (nk)_k?0 for weakly mixing dynamical systems on measure spaces, and give various conditions, some of which are closely related to the Jamison condition, for a sequence to be a rigidity sequence. We obtain on our way a complete characterization of topological rigidity and uniform rigidity sequences for linear dynamical systems, and we construct in this framework examples of dynamical systems which are both weakly mixing in the measure-theoretic sense and uniformly rigid.     

On properties of the topological entropy of dynamical systems

In this paper, the dependence on the parameter of the topological entropy of dynamical systems continuously depending on the parameter is studied from the point of view of the Baire classification of functions.     

Two notes on measure-theoretic entropy of random dynamical systems

In this paper, Brin-Katok local entropy formula and Katok＇s definition of the measuretheoretic entropy using spanning set are established for the random dynamical system over an invertible ergodic system.     

Lower bounds of the topological entropy for nonautonomous dynamical systems

In this paper, lower bounds of the topological entropy for nonautonomous dynamical systems are given via the growths of topological complexity in fundamental group and in degree.     

A characteristic frequency of chaotic dynamical system

A simple algorithm for determination of characteristic frequency at which the chaotic system may be synchronized by external force is proposed. This frequency can be defined without application of the synchronizing force to the investigated system, but merely from the time series at its output. The knowledge of synchronization region helps in easy quantification of chaotic motion. The characteristic frequency depends on the parameters of the dynamical system. Hence, its value can be used for the purposes of monitoring and diagnostics.     

Lyapunov quantities and limit cycles of two-dimensional dynamical systems. Analytical methods and symbolic computation

In the present work the methods of computation of Lyapunov quantities and localization of limit cycles are demonstrated. These methods are applied to investigation of quadratic systems with small and large limit cycles. The expressions for the first five Lyapunov quantities for general Lienard system are obtained. By the transformation of quadratic system to Lienard system and the method of asymptotical integration, quadratic systems with large limit cycles are investigated. The domain of parameters of quadratic systems, for which four limit cycles can be obtained, is determined.     

A concept of local metric entropy for finite-time nonautonomous dynamical systems

We introduce a concept of entropy for difference and differential equations which is a local-in-space and transient-in-time version of the classical concept of metric entropy. Based on that, a finite-time (or transient) version of Pesin’s entropy theorem and also an explicit formula of finite-time entropy for 2-D systems are derived.     

Local stable and unstable sets for positive entropy C;dynamical systems

For any C;diffeomorphism on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold that admits an ergodic measure with positive entropy,a lower bound of the Hausdorff dimension for the local stable and unstable sets is given in terms of the measure-theoretic entropy and the maximal Lyapunov exponent.The main line of our approach to this result is under the setting of topological dynamical systems,which is also applicable to infinite-dimensional C;dynamical systems.

Computing topological entropy for periodic sequences of unimodal maps

In this paper we introduce an algorithm which allows us to compute the topological entropy of a class of piecewise monotone continuous interval maps. The algorithm can be applied to a class of economic models called duopolies, and it can be useful to compute the topological entropy of periodic sequences of continuous maps which have been used in some population growth models.     

Nonstationary Szegö theorem,band sequences and maximum entropy

Well known theorems concerning positive definite extensions of banded Toeplitz matrices are generalized. The proofs are based upon the theory ofm-sequences which is developed herein. The nonstationary versions of the maximum distance and maximum entropy problems are discussed.
