Abstract
Let be a continuous map defined on a compact metric space . An open dynamical system introduces disjoint open balls centered at points in , and considers the trajectories of points from , and the balls that they visit first. As the balls in question are allowed to shrink, a point is considered indecisive if its trajectory changes infinitely many times the ball first visited. Here, we let be an adding machine, a simple system and a solenoidal system. In each case, we show that the set of points which generate indecisive trajectories is residual.
