In this paper, we construct a homeomorphism on the unit closed disk to show that an invertible mapping on a compact metric space is Li-Yorke chaotic does not imply its inverse being Li-Yorke chaotic.
Li-Yorke chaos is a popular and well-studied notion of chaos. Several simple and useful characterizations of this notion of chaos in the setting of linear dynamics were obtained recently. In this note we show that even simpler and more useful charact
erizations of Li-Yorke chaos can be given in the special setting of composition operators on $L^p$ spaces. As a consequence we obtain a simple characterization of weighted shifts which are Li-Yorke chaotic. We give numerous examples to show that our results are sharp.
We investigate the notion of mean Li-Yorke chaos for operators on Banach spaces. We show that it differs from the notion of distributional chaos of type 2, contrary to what happens in the context of topological dynamics on compact metric spaces. We p
rove that an operator is mean Li-Yorke chaotic if and only if it has an absolutely mean irregular vector. As a consequence, absolutely Ces`aro bounded operators are never mean Li-Yorke chaotic. Dense mean Li-Yorke chaos is shown to be equivalent to the existence of a dense (or residual) set of absolutely mean irregular vectors. As a consequence, every mean Li-Yorke chaotic operator is densely mean Li-Yorke chaotic on some infinite-dimensional closed invariant subspace. A (Dense) Mean Li-Yorke Chaos Criterion and a sufficient condition for the existence of a dense absolutely mean irregular manifold are also obtained. Moreover, we construct an example of an invertible hypercyclic operator $T$ such that every nonzero vector is absolutely mean irregular for both $T$ and $T^{-1}$. Several other examples are also presented. Finally, mean Li-Yorke chaos is also investigated for $C_0$-semigroups of operators on Banach spaces.
It is shown that any non-PI minimal system is Li-Yorke sensitive. Consequently, any minimal system with nontrivial weakly mixing factor (such a system is non-PI) is Li-Yorke sensitive, which answers affirmatively an open question by Akin and Kolyada.
We show that group actions on many treelike compact spaces are not too complicated dynamically. We first observe that an old argument of Seidler implies that every action of a topological group $G$ on a regular continuum is null and therefore also ta
me. As every local dendron is regular, one concludes that every action of $G$ on a local dendron is null. We then use a more direct method to show that every continuous group action of $G$ on a dendron is Rosenthal representable, hence also tame. Similar results are obtained for median pretrees. As a related result we show that Hellys selection principle can be extended to bounded monotone sequences defined on median pretrees (e.g., dendrons or linearly ordered sets). Finally, we point out some applications of these results to continuous group actions on dendrites.
This paper shows that a large class of fading memory state-space systems driven by discrete-time observations of dynamical systems defined on compact manifolds always yields continuously differentiable synchronizations. This general result provides a
powerful tool for the representation, reconstruction, and forecasting of chaotic attractors. It also improves previous statements in the literature for differentiable generalized synchronizations, whose existence was so far guaranteed for a restricted family of systems and was detected using Holder exponent-based criteria.
