Rendezvous with Sensitivity

Dynamical Systems 2019-10-09 v1

Abstract

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a compact metric space and f:XXf:X \to X be a self-map. The compact dynamical system (X,f)(X,f) is called sensitive or sensitivity depends on initial conditions, if there is a positive constant δ\delta such that in each non-empty open subset there are distinct points whose iterates will be δ\delta-apart at same instance. This dynamical property, though being a very weak one, brings in the essence of unpredictability in the system. In this article, we survey various sensitivities and some properties implied by and implying such sensitivities.
