Li-Yorke chaos on fuzzy dynamical systems

Abstract

Given a dynamical system (X,f)(X,f) we investigate how several variants of Li-Yorke chaos behave with respect to the extended systems (K(X),f)(\mathcal{K}(X),\overline{f}) and (F(X),f^)(\mathcal{F}(X),\hat{f}), where f\overline{f} is the hyperextension of ff acting on the space K(X)\mathcal{K}(X) of non-empty compact subsets of XX, and where f^\hat{f} denotes the Zadeh extension of ff acting on the space F(X)\mathcal{F}(X) of normal fuzzy subsets of XX. We first prove that the main variants of Li-Yorke chaos transfer from (X,f)(X,f) to (K(X),f)(\mathcal{K}(X),\overline{f}) and from (K(X),f)(\mathcal{K}(X),\overline{f}) to (F(X),f^)(\mathcal{F}(X),\hat{f}), but that the converse implications do not hold in general. However, combining the notions of proximality and sensitivity we introduce Cantor-dense Li-Yorke chaos, and we prove that this strengthened variant of chaos does transfer from (F(X),f^)(\mathcal{F}(X),\hat{f}) to (K(X),f)(\mathcal{K}(X),\overline{f}) under natural assumptions.
