    ABSTRACT Chaos in Dendritic and Circular Julia Sets Nathan Averbeck, Ph.D. Advisor: Brian Raines, D.Phil. We demonstrate the existence of various forms of chaos (including transitive distributional chaos, !-chaos, topological chaos, and exact Devaney chaos) on two families of abstract Julia sets: the dendritic Julia sets Dτ and the \circular" Julia sets Eτ , whose symbolic encoding was introduced by Stewart Baldwin. In particular, suppose one of the two following conditions hold: either fc has a Julia set which is a dendrite, or (provided that the kneading sequence of c is Γ-acceptable) that fc has an attracting or parabolic periodic point. Then, by way of a conjugacy which allows us to represent these Julia sets symbolically, we prove that fc exhibits various forms of chaos.

  • ABSTRACT the Specification Property and Chaos In
    ABSTRACT The Specification Property and Chaos in Multidimensional Shift Spaces and General Compact Metric Spaces Reeve Hunter, Ph.D. Advisor: Brian E. Raines, D.Phil. Rufus Bowen introduced the specification property for maps on a compact met- ric space. In this dissertation, we consider some implications of the specification d property for Zd-actions on subshifts of ΣZ as well as on a general compact metric space. In particular, we show that if σ : X X is a continuous Zd-action with ! d a weak form of the specification property on a d-dimensional subshift of ΣZ , then σ exhibits both !-chaos, introduced by Li, and uniform distributional chaos, intro- duced by Schweizer and Smítal. The !-chaos result is further generalized for some broader, directional notions of limit sets and general compact metric spaces with uniform expansion at a fixed point.

  • ONE HUNDRED YEARS of COMPLEX DYNAMICS the Subject of Complex Dynamics, That Is, the Behaviour of Orbits of Holomorphic Functions
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Liverpool Repository ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF COMPLEX DYNAMICS MARY REES The subject of Complex Dynamics, that is, the behaviour of orbits of holomorphic functions, emerged in the papers produced, independently, by Fatou and Julia, almost 100 years ago. Although the subject of Dynami- cal Systems did not then have a name, the dynamical properties found for holomorphic systems, even in these early researches, were so striking, so unusually comprehensive, and yet so varied, that these systems still attract widespread fascination, 100 years later. The first distinctive feature of iter- ation of a single holomorphic map f is the partition of either the complex plane or the Riemann sphere into two sets which are totally invariant under f: the Julia set | closed, nonempty, perfect, with dynamics which might loosely be called chaotic | and its complement | open, possibly empty, but, if non-empty, then with dynamics which were completely classified by the two pioneering researchers, modulo a few simply stated open questions. Before the subject re-emerged into prominence in the 1980's, the Julia set was alternately called the Fatou set, but Paul Blanchard introduced the idea of calling its complement the Fatou set, and this was immediately universally accepted. Probably the main reason for the remarkable rise in interest in complex dynamics, about thirty-five years ago, was the parallel with the subject of Kleinian groups, and hence with the whole subject of hyperbolic geome- try. A Kleinian group acting on the Riemann sphere is a dynamical system, with the sphere splitting into two disjoint invariant subsets, with the limit set and its complement, the domain of discontinuity, having exactly similar properties to the Julia and Fatou sets.

  • Thermodynamic Formalism in Neuronal Dynamics and Spike Train Statistics
    Thermodynamic Formalism in Neuronal Dynamics and Spike Train Statistics Rodrigo Cofré ∗1, Cesar Maldonado †2, and Bruno Cessac ‡3 1CIMFAV-Ingemat, Facultad de Ingeniería, Universidad de Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile. 2IPICYT/División de Matemáticas Aplicadas, San Luis Potosí, Mexico 3Université Côte d’Azur, Inria, France, Inria Biovision team and Neuromod Institute November 20, 2020 Abstract The Thermodynamic Formalism provides a rigorous mathematical framework to study quantitative and qualitative aspects of dynamical systems. At its core there is a variational principle corresponding, in its simplest form, to the Maximum Entropy principle. It is used as a statistical inference procedure to represent, by specific prob- ability measures (Gibbs measures), the collective behaviour of complex systems. This framework has found applications in different domains of science.In particular, it has been fruitful and influential in neurosciences. In this article, we review how the Thermodynamic Formalism can be exploited in the field of theoretical neuroscience, as a conceptual and operational tool, to link the dynamics of interacting neurons and the statistics of action potentials from either experimental data or mathematical mod- els. We comment on perspectives and open problems in theoretical neuroscience that could be addressed within this formalism. Keywords. thermodynamic formalism; neuronal networks dynamics; maximum en- tropy principle; free energy and pressure; linear response; large deviations, ergodic theory. arXiv:2011.09512v1 [q-bio.NC] 18 Nov 2020 1 Introduction Initiated by Boltzmann [1, 2], the goal of statistical physics was to establish a link between the microscopic mechanical description of interacting particles in a gas or a fluid, and the macroscopic description provided by thermodynamics [3, 4].

  • Maximal Entropy Measures for Certain Partially Hyperbolic, Derived from Anosov Systems
    MAXIMAL ENTROPY MEASURES FOR CERTAIN PARTIALLY HYPERBOLIC, DERIVED FROM ANOSOV SYSTEMS J. BUZZI, T. FISHER, M. SAMBARINO, C. VASQUEZ´ Abstract. We show that a class of robustly transitive diffeomor- phisms originally described by Ma˜n´eare intrinsically ergodic. More precisely, we obtain an open set of diffeomorphisms which fail to be uniformly hyperbolic and structurally stable, but nevertheless have the following stability with respect to their entropy. Their topological entropy is constant and they each have a unique measure of maximal entropy with respect to which peri- odic orbits are equidistributed. Moreover, equipped with their re- spective measure of maximal entropy, these diffeomorphisms are pairwise isomorphic. We show that the method applies to several classes of systems which are similarly derived from Anosov, i.e., produced by an iso- topy from an Anosov system, namely, a mixed Ma˜n´eexample and one obtained through a Hopf bifurcation. 1. Introduction Let f be a diffeomorphism of a manifold M to itself. The diffeomor- phism f is transitive if there exists a point x ∈ M where + n Of (x)= {f (x)|n ∈ N} is dense in M. It is robustly transitive [4, Ch. 7] if there exists a neighborhood U of f in the space Diff1(M) of C1 diffeomorphisms such that each g in U is transitive. Since robust transitivity is an open condition, it is an important component of the global picture of dynamical systems [23].

  • Lecture Notes on Dynamical Systems, Chaos and Fractal Geometry
    LECTURE NOTES ON DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS, CHAOS AND FRACTAL GEOMETRY Geoffrey R. Goodson Towson University Mathematics Department 1 2 Preface These notes were created over a number of years of teaching senior seminar type courses to senior year students at Towson University and graduate courses in the Towson University Applied Mathematics Graduate Program. Originally I based the course on some of the existing text books currently available, such as [63], [22], [28] and [20], but gradually realized that these didn’t fully suit the needs of our students, so I produced my own lecture notes. However, these notes owe a debt to the above mentioned books. The first 12 chapters cover fairly standard topics in (mostly) one- dimensional dynamics and should be accessible to most upper level undergraduate students. The requirements from real analysis and topology (metric spaces) are de- veloped as the material progresses. Chapter 13 gives a (non-rigorous) introduction to the theory of substitutions (via examples) and we show how these can give rise to cer- tain types of fractals. Subsequent chapters develop the rigorous mathematical theory of substitutions and Sturmian sequences. Although there are numerous expositions of this material, most either give a non-rigorous account with no depth, or assume a level of sophistication above that of the upper level undergraduate or beginning graduate student. Our study of substitutions is purely topological and avoids any measure theory. Consequently we do not touch on some important topics of current interest such as the spectral properties of substitutions (see [49]). Some of this material owes a debt to quite recent publications in the field of dy- namical systems appearing in journals such as the American Mathematical Monthly, the College Mathematics Journal, Mathematical Intelligencer and Mathematics Mag- azine.

J. Mod. Dyn. 1 (2007), no. 4, 545–596. This is an attractive overview of the role played by “entropy” in the study of dynamical systems since its discovery by Kolmogorov at the end of the 1950s. Several features make it a particularly interesting read. First, the author has been an active participant in the field, often very close to the most exciting and influential developments. Second, the article does not attempt to provide a (potentially indigestible) complete history shaped by time, but instead an overview exposing the mathematical story, taking full advantage of later insights and developments. Third, it is written with candour (for example, one of the many interesting footnotes records the extent to which the disjointness paper of Furstenberg in 1967 was underestimated), with a vision of great extent in time and breadth in topic, with much detailed knowledge (for example, the ergodic-theory aspect of Wiener’s monograph of 1958 was new to me), and with great authority (both mathematical and personal: the author interacted directly with many of the key contributors both in the “Moscow school” and later in the United States). The breadth of the pervasive influence of entropy is re- flected in the main sections: Early history of entropy; Isomorphism problem; Topological entropy, variational principle, symbolic dynamics; Entropy and nonuniform hyperbolicity; Entropy as a source of rigidity; Rigidity of positive entropy measures for higher-rank abelian actions.

Introduction In the field of Dynamical Systems we study spaces and maps on those spaces. Often we are interested in describing the behavior of a dynamical system exactly, but in many cases this is very hard to do. In the subset of Dynamical systems known as ergodic theory we introduce the tools of measure theory into dynamics. This is useful because we can obtain sta- tistical results for our dynamical systems. In ergodic theory we study invariant measures. Suppose we have a dynamical system on a space X with f : X ! X measurable. Then a measure µ is f-invariant if µ(A) = µ(f −1(A)) Date: DEADLINES: Draft AUGUST 14 and Final version AUGUST 26, 2018.
