Characterization of Measures Satisfying the Pesin Entropy Formula for Random Dynamical Systems

In this paper we first give a formulation of SRB (Sinai–Ruelle–Bowen) property for invariant measures of stationary random dynamical systems and then prove that this property is sufficient and necessary for a formula of Pesin's type relating entropy and Lyapunov exponents of such dynamical systems. This result is a random version of the main result in Part I of Ledrappier and Young's celebrated paper [11].     

Dynamical Spectrum in Random Dynamical Systems

Dynamical spectrum is a concept in terms of exponential dichotomy. The theory of dynamical spectrum, due to Sacker and Sell, plays important roles in many fields of dynamical systems and differential equations. Noticing its significance and importance, we study in this paper the theory of dynamical spectrum for some general random dynamical systems. More precisely, after introducing a random version of the concept of exponential dichotomy, by using some methods and techniques from dynamical systems and ergodic theory, under some general integrability conditions, we establish the dynamical spectral decomposition theorem in framework of random dynamical systems, which can be regarded as a random version of the deterministic dynamical systems due to Sacker and Sell. In our result, the dynamical spectral intervals and the corresponding spectral subbundles will be given.     

Sets of Dynamical Systems with Various Limit Shadowing Properties

We study the C ¹-interiors of sets of diffeomorphisms of a closed smooth manifold with various limit shadowing properties. It is shown that, for some natural analogs of the usual limit shadowing property, the corresponding C ¹-interiors coincide with the set of Ω-stable diffeomorphisms. The same problem is considered for two-sided analogs of the limit shadowing property. To Pavol Brunovsky on the occasion of his 70th birthday.     

Synchronization and Non-Smooth Dynamical Systems

In this article we establish an interaction between non-smooth systems, geometric singular perturbation theory and synchronization phenomena. We find conditions for a non-smooth vector fields be locally synchronized. Moreover its regularization provide a singular perturbation problem with attracting critical manifold. We also state a result about the synchronization which occurs in the regularization of the fold-fold case. We restrict ourselves to the 3-dimensional systems (ℓ = 3) and consider the case known as a T-singularity.     

Dynamical Parallelepipeds in Minimal Systems

For a topological dynamical system $(X,T)$ ( X , T ) and $d\in \mathbb N $ d ∈ N , the associated dynamical parallelepiped $\mathbf{Q}^{[d]}$ Q [ d ] was defined by Host–Kra–Maass. For a minimal distal system it was shown by them that the relation $\sim _{d-1}$ ～ d ? 1 defined on $\mathbf{Q}^{[d-1]}$ Q [ d ? 1 ] is an equivalence relation; the closing parallelepiped property holds, and for each $x\in X$ x ∈ X the collection of points in $\mathbf{Q}^{[d]}$ Q [ d ] with first coordinate $x$ x is a minimal subset under the face transformations. We give examples showing that the results do not extend to general minimal systems.     

Conductance and Noncommutative Dynamical Systems

In this work, we introduce the notion of conductance in the context of Cuntz–Krieger C^∗-algebras. These algebras can be seen as a noncommutative version of topological Markov chains. Conductance is a useful notion in the theory of Markov chains to study the approach of a system to the equilibrium state. Our goal is twofold. On one hand, conductance can be used to measure the complexity of dynamical systems, complementing topological entropy. On the other hand, using C^∗-algebras, we can give a natural framework to analyze the path space of a finite graph associated to a Markov shift.     

Metric Invariants in Dynamical Systems

The scaling function and the linear model for a circle endomorphism are two important smooth invariants under conjugacy. We discuss these two invariants and some relations between them. Furthermore, we use these relations to discuss some realization results in this direction. The discussion in this paper avoids quasiconformal mapping theory and Gibbs theory and g-measure theory, which are used in our previous discussions, therefore, is straightforward and simple.This paper is dedicated to Professor Shui-Nee Chow on the occasion of his 60th Birthday.Mathematics Subject Classification 2000: Primary 37E10, Secondary 34C14     

On Minimality of Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems

The minimality of a nonautonomous dynamical system given by a compact Hausdorff space X and a sequence of continuous self-maps of X is studied. A sufficient condition for the nonminimality of such a system is formulated. Special attention is given to the particular case where X is a real compact interval I. A sequence of continuous self-maps of I forming a minimal nonautonomous system may converge uniformly. For example, the limit may be any topologically transitive map. However, if all maps in the sequence are surjective, then the limit is necessarily monotone. An example where the limit is the identity is given. As an application, in a simple way we construct a triangular map in the square I ² with the property that every point except those in the leftmost fiber has an orbit whose -limit set coincides with the leftmost fiber.     

Finite Intersection Property and Dynamical Compactness

Dynamical compactness with respect to a family as a new concept of chaoticity of a dynamical system was introduced and discussed in Huang et al. (J Differ Equ 260(9):6800–6827, 2016). In this paper we continue to investigate this notion. In particular, we prove that all dynamical systems are dynamically compact with respect to a Furstenberg family if and only if this family has the finite intersection property. We investigate weak mixing and weak disjointness by using the concept of dynamical compactness. We also explore further difference between transitive compactness and weak mixing. As a byproduct, we show that the \(\omega _{{\mathcal {F}}}\)-limit and the \(\omega \)-limit sets of a point may have quite different topological structure. Moreover, the equivalence between multi-sensitivity, sensitive compactness and transitive sensitivity is established for a minimal system. Finally, these notions are also explored in the context of linear dynamics.     

Practical Stability of Set Dynamical Systems

We investigate problems of practical stability of set dynamical systems and prove the main properties of sets of initial conditions optimal with respect to inclusion. For systems with linear dynamical component and specific types of set components, we obtain optimal deformation functions and optimal estimates for practical stability.     

Universal Systems for Entropy Intervals

A topological system is universal for a class of ergodic measure-theoretic systems if its simplex of invariant measures contains, up to an isomorphism, all elements of this class and no elements from outside the class. We construct universal systems for classes given by the combination of three properties: measure-theoretic entropy belonging to a nondegenerate interval of the extended nonnegative real halfline, invertibility and aperiodicity. For classes consisting of aperiodic systems the universal system can be made minimal.

Tracing KAM Tori in Presymplectic Dynamical Systems

We present a KAM theorem for presymplectic dynamical systems. The theorem has a “a posteriori” format. We show that given a Diophantine frequency ω and a family of presymplectic mappings, if we find an embedded torus which is approximately invariant with rotation ω such that the torus and the family of mappings satisfy some explicit non-degeneracy condition, then we can find an embedded torus and a value of the parameter close to the original one so that the torus is invariant under the map associated to the value of the parameter. Furthermore, we show that the dimension of the parameter space is reduced if we assume that the systems are exact.     

Invariant Manifolds for Random Dynamical Systems with Slow and Fast Variables

We consider random dynamical systems with slow and fast variables driven by two independent metric dynamical systems modeling stochastic noise. We establish the existence of a random inertial manifold eliminating the fast variables. If the scaling parameter tends to zero, the inertial manifold tends to another manifold which is called the slow manifold. We achieve our results by means of a fixed point technique based on a random graph transform. To apply this technique we need an asymptotic gap condition.      

Dynamical Methods for Linear Hamiltonian Systems with Applications to Control Processes

The nonautonomous version of the Yakubovich Frequency Theorem characterizes the solvability of an infinite horizon optimization problem in terms of the validity of the Frequency and Nonoscillation Conditions for a linear Hamiltonian system, which is defined from the coefficients of the quadratic functional to be minimized. This paper describes those nonautonomous linear Hamiltonian systems satisfying the required properties. Two groups appear, depending on whether they are uniformly weakly disconjugate or not. It also contains a previous analysis of the long-term behavior of the Grassmannian and Lagrangian flows under the presence of exponential dichotomy, which is required for the classification and has interest by itself.     

Robustness of Exponential Dichotomies in Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems

In this paper we examine the issue of the robustness, or stability, of an exponential dichotomy, or an exponential trichotomy, in a dynamical system on an Banach space W. These two hyperbolic structures describe long-time dynamical properties of the associated time-varying linearized equation _t +A=B(t) , where the linear operator B(t) is the evaluation of a suitable Fréchet derivative along a given solution in the set K in W. Our main objective is to show, under reasonable conditions, that if B(t)=B(, t) depends continuously on a parameter and there is an exponential dichotomy, or exponential trichotomy, at a value ₀, then there is an exponential dichotomy, or exponential trichotomy, for all near ₀.We present several illustrations indicating the significance of this robustness property.     

On Non-dense Orbits of Certain Non-algebraic Dynamical Systems

In this paper, we manage to apply Schmidt games to certain non-algebraic dynamical systems. More precisely, we show that the set of points with non-dense forward orbit under a \(C^2\)-Anosov diffeomorphism with conformality on unstable manifolds is a winning set for Schmidt’s game. It is also proved that for a \(C^{1+\theta }\)-expanding endomorphism the set of points with non-dense forward orbit is a winning set for certain variants of Schmidt’s game.     

Topological and Measure-Theoretical Entropies of Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems

We consider the dynamics of a nonautonomous dynamical system determined by a sequence of continuous self-maps \(f_n:X \rightarrow X,\) where \( n \in {\mathbb {N}},\) defined on a compact metric space X. Applying the theory of the Carathéodory structures, elaborated by Pesin (Dimension Theory in Dynamical Systems. Chicago Lectures in Mathematics. The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1997), we construct a Carathéodory structure whose capacity coincides with the topological entropy of the considered system. Generalizing the notion of local measure entropy, introduced by Brin and Katok (in: Palis (ed) Geometric Dynamics, Lecture Notes in Mathematics. Springer, Berlin 1983) for a single map, to a nonautonomous dynamical system we provide a lower and upper estimations of the topological entropy by local measure entropies. The theorems of the paper generalize results of Kawan (Nonautonomous Stoch Dyn Syst 1:26–52, 2013) and of Feng and Huang (J Funct Anal 263:2228–2254, 2012). Also, we construct a new entropy-like invariant such the entropy of a sequence \(\{f_n:X \rightarrow X\}_{n=1}^{\infty }\) of Lipschitz continuous maps with the same Lipschitz constant \(L >1,\) restricted to a subset \(Y\subset X,\) is upper bounded by Hausdorff dimension of Y multiplied by the logarithm of the Lipschitz constant L. This gives a generalizations of results of Dai et al. (Sci China Ser A 41:1068–1075, 1998) and Misiurewicz (Discret Contin Dyn Syst 10:827–833, 2004).     

Dynamical Order in Systems of Coupled Noisy Oscillators

We investigate a dynamical order induced by coupling and/or noise in systems of coupled oscillators. The dynamical order is referred to a one-dimensional topological structure of the global attractor of the system in the context of random skew-product flows. We show that if the coupling is sufficiently strong, then the system exhibits one dimensional dynamics regardless of the strength of noise. If the coupling is weak, then it is shown numerically that the system also exhibits one dimensional dynamics provided the noise is sufficiently strong. We also show that for any coupling and any noise, the system has a unique rotation number and hence all the oscillators tend to oscillate with the same frequency eventually (frequency locking).
