Stirring a two-dimensional viscous fluid with rods is often an effective way to mix. The topological features of periodic rod motions give a lower bound on the topological entropy of the induced flow map, since material lines must `catch'…

We survey the connections between entropy, chaos, and independence in topological dynamics. We present extensions of two classical results placing the following notions in the context of symbolic dynamics: 1. Equivalence of positive entropy…

Let $\pi:X\to Y$ be a factor map, where $(X,T)$ and $(Y,S)$ are topological dynamical systems. Let ${\bf a}=(a_1,a_2)\in {\Bbb R}^2$ with $a_1>0$ and $a_2\geq 0$, and $f\in C(X)$. The ${\bf a}$-weighted topological pressure of $f$, denoted…

Given a dynamical system $(X,f)$ we investigate several topological dynamical properties for its Zadeh extension $(\mathcal{F}(X),\hat{f})$ endowed with the endograph metric $d_{E}$. In particular, we prove that for topological…

For any dynamical system $T:X\rightarrow X$ of a compact metric space $X$ with $g-$almost product property and uniform separation property, under the assumptions that the periodic points are dense in $X$ and the periodic measures are dense…

We investigate the dynamics of substitution subshifts and their associated tiling spaces. For a given subshift, the associated tiling spaces are all homeomorphic, but their dynamical properties may differ. We give criteria for such a tiling…

We consider continuous maps $f:X\to X$ on compact metric spaces admitting inducing schemes of hyperbolic type introduced in [15] as well as the induced maps $\tilde{f}:\tilde{X}\to\tilde{X}$ and the associated tower maps $\hat{f}:\hat{X}…

The integrability of two symplectic maps, that can be considered as discrete-time analogs of the Garnier and Neumann systems is established in the framework of the $r$-matrix approach, starting from their Lax representation. In contrast…

For random dynamical systems, by summarizing the fundamental properties of Kifer's topological pressure we introduce the concept of random pressure functions, and define Ruelle's metric entropy for invariant measures. Employing the…

We show that transport in the presence of entropic barriers exhibits peculiar characteristics which makes it distinctly different from that occurring through energy barriers. The constrained dynamics yields a scaling regime for the particle…

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space and $f:X \to X$ be a self-map. The compact dynamical system $(X,f)$ is called sensitive or sensitivity depends on initial conditions, if there is a positive constant $\delta$ such that in each non-empty…

We study the homomorphism induced in homology by a closed correspondence between topological spaces, using projections from the graph of the correspondence to its domain and codomain. We provide assumptions under which the homomorphism…

For a continuous self-map $T$ of a compact metrizable space with finite topological entropy, the order of accumulation of entropy of $T$ is a countable ordinal that arises in the theory of entropy structure and symbolic extensions. Given…

For many stochastic processes there is an underlying coordinate space, $V$, with the process moving from point to point in $V$ or on variables (such as spin configurations) defined with respect to $V$. There is a matrix of transition…

This work reflects on mechanics as an epistemological framework on the state of a physical system to regard dynamics as the distribution of mechanical properties over spacetime coordinates. The resulting distribution is taken to be the…

We show a flexibility result in the context of generalized entropy. The space of dynamical systems we work with is, homeomorphisms on the sphere whose non-wandering set consist in only one fixed point.

We analyze dynamical properties of a "gap-tent map" - a family of 1D maps with a symmetric gap, which mimics the presence of noise in physical realizations of chaotic systems. We demonstrate that the dependence of the topological entropy on…

We investigate the flexibility of the entropy (topological and metric) for the class of piecewise expanding unimodal maps. We show that the only restrictions for the values of the topological and metric entropies in this class are that both…

This sequel to our previous paper [MS11b] continues the study of topological contact dynamics and applications to contact dynamics and topological dynamics. We provide further evidence that the topological automorphism groups of a contact…

The purpose of this article is twofold. On one hand, we reveal the equivalence of shift of finite type between a one-sided shift $X$ and its associated hom tree-shift $\mathcal{T}_{X}$, as well as the equivalence in the sofic shift. On the…
