ON F-SENSITIVE PAIRS

In the present paper, we define sensitive pairs via Furstenberg families and discuss the relation of three definitions: sensitivity, F -sensitivity and F -sensitive pairs, see Theorem 1. For transitive systems, we give some sufficient conditions to ensure the existence of F -sensitive pairs. In particular, each non-minimal E system (M system, P system) has positive lower density ( Fs , Fr resp.)-sensitive pairs almost everywhere. Moreover, each non-minimal M system is Fts -sensitive. Finally, by some examples we show that: (1) F -sensitivity can not imply the existence of F -sensitive pairs. That means there exists an F -sensitive system, which has no F -sensitive pairs. (2) There is no immediate relation between the existence of sensitive pairs and Li-Yorke chaos, i.e., there exists a system (X, f ) without Li-Yorke scrambled pairs, which has κ B -sensitive pairs almost everywhere. (3) If the system (G, f ) is sensitive, where G is a finite graph, then it has κ B -sensitive pairs almost everywhere.
