The notion of topological entropy can be conceptualized in terms of the number of forward trajectories that are distinguishable at resolution $\varepsilon$ within $T$ time units. It can then be formally defined as a limit of a limit…
In this work we consider a general non-autonomous hybrid system based on the integrate-and-fire model, widely used as simplified version of neuronal models and other types of excitable systems. Our unique assumption is that the system is…
The concept of "$A$-coupled-expanding" map for a transition matrix $A$ has been studied as one of the most important criteria of chaos in the past years. In this paper, the lower bound of the topological entropy for strictly…
We study circle maps with a flat interval where the critical exponents at the two boundary points of the flat spot might be different. The space of such systems is partitioned in two connected parts whose common boundary only depends on the…
Nonlinear dynamical systems may be exposed to tipping points, critical thresholds at which small changes in the external inputs or in the systems parameters abruptly shift the system to an alternative state with a contrasting dynamical…
Structure of bifurcation diagram in the plane of parameters controlling period-doublings for the system of coupled logistic maps is discussed. The analysis is carried out by computing the charts of dynamical regimes and charts of Lyapunov…
From a two-agent, two-strategy congestion game where both agents apply the multiplicative weights update algorithm, we obtain a two-parameter family of maps of the unit square to itself. Interesting dynamics arise on the invariant diagonal,…
Topological entropy or spatial entropy is a way to measure the complexity of shift spaces. This study investigates the relationships between the spatial entropy and the various periodic entropies which are computed by skew-coordinated…
We explore the relationship between Turing completeness and topological entropy of dynamical systems. We first prove that a natural class of Turing machines that we call "branching Turing machines" (which includes most of the known examples…
In arXiv:1801.01238 a variation of Bowen's topological entropy that can be applied to the study of discontinuous semiflows on compact metric spaces was introduced. The main novetly is the use of certain family of pseudosemimetrics…
A basic problem in dynamics is to identify systems with positive entropy, i.e., systems which are "chaotic." While there is a vast collection of results addressing this issue in topological dynamics, the phenomenon of positive entropy…
We give a hierarchy of many-parameter families of maps of the interval [0,1] with an invariant measure and using the measure, we calculate Kolmogorov--Sinai entropy of these maps analytically. In contrary to the usual one-dimensional maps…
This work describes the way that topological mixing and chaos in continua, as induced by discrete dynamical systems, can or can't be understood through topological conjugacy with symbolic dynamical systems. For example, there is no symbolic…
Abrupt shifts in ecosystems, brains, markets, and climate are often diagnosed as signs of approaching a tipping point, i.e. a critical bifurcation where stability is lost. Here we reveal a broader and more deceptive mechanism:…
Chaos associated with bifurcation makes a new science, but the origin and essence of chaos are not yet clear. Based on the well-known logistic map, chaos used to be regarded as intrinsic randomicity of determinate dynamics systems. However,…
We study the chaos of travelling waves (TW) in unidirectional chains of bistable maps. Previous numerical results suggested that this property is selective, {\sl viz.}\ given the parameters, there is at most a single (non-trivial) velocity…
We consider reversible vector fields in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ such that the set of fixed points of the involutory reversing symmetry is $n$-dimensional. Let such system have a smooth one-parameter family of symmetric periodic orbits which is of…
It is shown that in a topological dynamical system with positive entropy, there is a measure-theoretically "rather big" set such that a multivariant version of mean Li-Yorke chaos happens on the closure of the stable or unstable set of any…
It is well known that a continuous piecewise monotone interval map with positive topological entropy is semiconjugate to a map of a constant slope and the same entropy, and if it is additionally transitive then this semiconjugacy is…
Consider a quadratic rational self-map of the Riemann sphere such that one critical point is periodic of period 2, and the other critical point lies on the boundary of its immediate basin of attraction. We will give explicit topological…
