Iteration problem for distributional chaos

Abstract

We disprove the conjecture that distributional chaos of type 3 (briefly, DC3) is iteration invariant and show that a slightly strengthened definition, denoted by DC212\frac{1}{2}, is preserved under iteration, i.e. fnf^n is DC212\frac{1}{2} if and only if ff is too. Unlike DC3, DC212\frac{1}{2} is also conjugacy invariant and implies Li-Yorke chaos. The definition of DC212\frac{1}{2} is the following: a pair (x,y)(x,y) is DC212\frac{1}{2} iff Φ(x,y)(0)<Φ(x,y)(0)\Phi_{(x,y)}(0)<\Phi^*_{(x,y)}(0), where Φ(x,y)(δ)\Phi_{(x,y)}(\delta) (resp. Φ(x,y)(δ)\Phi^*_{(x,y)}(\delta)) is lower (resp. upper) density of times kk when d(fk(x),fk(y))<δd(f^k(x),f^k(y))<\delta and both densities are defined at 0 as limits of their values for δ0+\delta\to 0^+. Hence DC2122\frac{1}{2} shares similar properties with DC1 and DC2 but unlike them, strict DC2122\frac{1}{2} systems must have zero topological entropy.
