We explore the notion of discrete spectrum and its various characterizations for ergodic measure-preserving actions of an amenable group on a compact metric space. We introduce a notion of 'weak-tameness', which is a measure-theoretic…
We construct a well ordered symbolic dynamics plane for the stadium billiard. In this symbolic plane the forbidden and the allowed orbits are separated by a monotone pruning front, and allowed orbits can be systematically generated by…
Recurrence is a fundamental characteristic of dynamical systems with complicated behavior. Understanding the inner structure of recurrence is challenging, especially if the system has many degrees of freedom and is subject to noise. We…
In this article we show that any ergodic rigid system can be topologically realized by a uniformly rigid and (topologically) weak mixing topological dynamical system.
Recent progress of symbolic dynamics of one- and especially two-dimensional maps has enabled us to construct symbolic dynamics for systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Numerical study under the guidance of symbolic dynamics is…
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…
We show that the concept of topological order, introduced to describe ordered quantum systems which cannot be classified by broken symmetries, also applies to classical systems. Starting from a specific example, we show how to use pure…
Any infinite sequence of substitutions with the same matrix of the Pisot type defines a symbolic dynamical system which is minimal. We prove that, to any such sequence, we can associate a compact set (Rauzy fractal) by projection of the…
We investigate the relationship between the dynamical properties of minimal topological dynamical systems and the multiplicative combinatorial properties of return time sets arising from those systems. In particular, we prove that for a…
Paper withdrawn; will be replaced by revised version containing application to lattice models as well. We study hierarchical properties of Sturmian words. These properties are similar to those of substitution dynamical systems. This…
Iterations of odd piecewise continuous maps with two discontinuities, i.e., symmetric discontinuous bimodal maps, are studied. Symbolic dynamics is introduced. The tools of kneading theory are used to study the homology of the discrete…
We provide a classification of random orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of $\mathbb{S}^1$, up to topological conjugacy of the random dynamical systems generated by i.i.d. iterates of the random homeomorphism. This classification covers…
We show that any semi-algebraic sweeping process admits piecewise absolutely continuous solutions, and any such bounded trajectory must have finite length. Analogous results hold more generally for sweeping processes definable in o-minimal…
Much of dynamical algebraic combinatorics focuses on global dynamical systems defined via maps that are compositions of local toggle operators. The second author and Roby studied such maps that result from toggling independent sets of a…
Let $\beta: S^{2n+1}\to S^{2n+1}$ be a minimal homeomorphism ($n\ge 1$). We show that the crossed product $C(S^{2n+1})\rtimes_{\beta} \Z$ has rational tracial rank at most one. More generally, let $\Omega$ be a connected compact metric…
Warped time-frequency systems have recently been introduced as a class of structured continuous frames for functions on the real line. Herein, we generalize this framework to the setting of functions of arbitrary dimensionality. After…
Our aim is to find some new links between linear (circular) orderability of groups and topological dynamics. We suggest natural analogs of the concept of algebraic orderability for topological groups involving order-preserving actions on…
We introduce a geometric dynamical system where iteration is defined as a cycling composition of different maps acting on a space composed of three or more lines in $\mathbb{R}^2$. This system is motivated by the dynamics of iterated…
Let K denote a compact invariant set for a strongly monotone semiflow in an ordered Banach space E, satisfying standard smoothness and compactness assumptions. Suppose the semiflow restricted to K is chain transitive. The main result is…
Motivated by Furstenberg's Theorem on sets in the circle invariant under multiplication by a non-lacunary semigroup, we define a general class of dynamical systems possessing similar topological dynamical properties. We call such systems…
