Abstract

Let t=t1t2t=t_1t_2\cdots be an element of the full shift with shift map τ\tau on a finite set of characters A\mathcal{A} and let Σ= closure{τi(t):  iN{0}} \Sigma=\text{ closure} \{\tau^i(t):\;i\in\N\cup\{0\}\}. Let ft=ft1,=ft2ft1f_t=f_{t_1,\,\infty}=\cdots\circ f_{t_2}\circ f_{t_1} be a non-autonomous system over a compact metric space X X where tiAt_i\in \mathcal A . The set \Ft+={fτi(t):  iN}\F_t^+=\{f_{\tau^i(t)}:\; i\in\N\} is called the shifted family of ftf_t. If tt is a transitive point of the full shift on A\mathcal A, then by introducing a natural topology, \Ft+\overline{\F_t^+} is a classical IFS; otherwise, \Ft+={fσ=fσ1,:  σΣ}\overline{\F_t^+}=\{f_\sigma=f_{\sigma_1,\,\infty}:\; \sigma\in\Sigma\} is a generalized IFS. We will show that if ft f_t has some various shadowing and specification properties, then this is true for fσ\Ft+f_{\sigma}\in\overline{\F^+_t}; however, this claim is not true for other properties such as transitivity, mixing and exactness. Also, if Σ \Sigma is sofic and xXx\in X is periodic point for some fσ\Ft+f_\sigma\in\overline{\F^+_t}, then there is a periodic σΣ\sigma'\in\Sigma such that xx is periodic for fσ\Ft+f_{\sigma'}\in\overline{\F^+_t}.
