The dynamics of a nonequilibrium system can become complex because the system has many components (e.g., a human brain), because the system is strongly driven from equilibrium (e.g., large Reynolds-number flows), or because the system…
Dynamical chaos is a term that encompasses a wide range of nonlinear phenomena such as turbulence, neuronal avalanches, weather patterns, and many others. However, despite much work in the field of chaos, its fundamental physical origin…
In this paper, we focus on some properties, calculations and estimations of topological entropy for a nonautonomous dynamical system $(X,f_{0,\infty})$ generated by a sequence of continuous self-maps $f_{0,\infty}=\{f_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ on…
This book chapter introduces to the concept of weak chaos, aspects of its ergodic theory description, and properties of the anomalous dynamics associated with it. In the first half of the chapter we study simple one-dimensional…
In this paper, we study the topological entropy and the Hausdorff dimension of a shrinking target set. We give lower and upper bounds of topological entropy and Hausdorff dimension for dynamical systems with exponential specification…
A sofic approximation to a countable group is a sequence of partial actions on finite sets that asymptotically approximates the action of the group on itself by left-translations. A group is sofic if it admits a sofic approximation. Sofic…
We deal with a mechanism of generating distributional chaos in planar nonautonomous ODEs and try to measure chaosity in terms of topological entropy. It is based on the interplay between simple periodic solutions. We prove the existence of…
The presence of a period-doubling cascade in dynamical systems that depend on a parameter is one of the basic routes to chaos. It is rarely mentioned that there are virtually always infinitely many cascades whenever there is one. We report…
In this work we study the problem of positiveness of topological entropy for flows using pointwise dynamics. We show that the existence of a non-periodic nonwandering point of an expansive and non-singular flow with shadowing is a…
In this paper we extend the notion of a continuous bundle random dynamical system to the setting where the action of $\R$ or $\N$ is replaced by the action of an infinite countable discrete amenable group. Given such a system, and a…
In this paper we provide examples of topological dynamical systems having either finite or countable scrambled sets. In particular we study conditions for the existence of Li-Yorke, asymptotic and distal pairs in constant--length…
A practical and popular technique to extract the symbolic dynamics from experimentally measured chaotic time series is the threshold-crossing method, by which an arbitrary partition is utilized for determining the symbols. We address to…
The topological entropy dimension is mainly used to distinguish the zero topological entropy systems. Two types of topological entropy dimensions, the classical entropy dimension and the Pesin entropy dimension, are investigated for…
Let $f_{0,\infty}=\{f_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of continuous self-maps on a compact metric space $X$. Firstly, we obtain the relations between topological sequence entropy of a nonautonomous dynamical system $(X,f_{0,\infty})$ and…
We propose utilizing entropy as a diagnostic tool to distinguish between constant and dynamical dark energy models. Entropy, a measure of the system's disorder or information content, captures the complexity and evolution of the universe.…
We study the problem of detecting the structure of a complex dynamical system described by a set of deterministic differential equation that contains a Hamiltonian subsystem, without any information on the explicit form of evolution laws.…
We present a geometric, model-independent, argument that aims to explain why the Tsallis entropy describes systems exhibiting "weak chaos", namely systems whose underlying dynamics has vanishing largest Lyapunov exponent. Our argument…
The Causal Set hypothesis asserts that spacetime, ultimately, is discrete and its underlying structure is that of a locally finite partial ordered set, and macroscopic causality reflects a deeper notion of order in terms of which all the…
In this paper we propose, discuss and illustrate a computationally feasible definition of chaos which can be applied very generally to situations that are commonly encountered, including attractors, repellers and non-periodically forced…
Transitivity, the existence of periodic points and positive topological entropy can be used to characterize complexity in dynamical systems. It is known that for graphs that are not trees, for every $\varepsilon>0,$ there exist (complicate)…
