The Topological Entropy Conjecture
mathematics Article The Topological Entropy Conjecture Lvlin Luo 1,2,3,4 1 Arts and Sciences Teaching Department, Shanghai University of Medicine and Health Sciences, Shanghai 201318, China; [email protected] or [email protected] 2 School of Mathematical Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China 3 School of Mathematics, Jilin University, Changchun 130012, China 4 School of Mathematics and Statistics, Xidian University, Xi’an 710071, China Abstract: For a compact Hausdorff space X, let J be the ordered set associated with the set of all finite open covers of X such that there exists nJ, where nJ is the dimension of X associated with ¶. Therefore, we have Hˇ p(X; Z), where 0 ≤ p ≤ n = nJ. For a continuous self-map f on X, let a 2 J be f an open cover of X and L f (a) = fL f (U)jU 2 ag. Then, there exists an open fiber cover L˙ f (a) of X induced by L f (a). In this paper, we define a topological fiber entropy entL( f ) as the supremum of f ent( f , L˙ f (a)) through all finite open covers of X = fL f (U); U ⊂ Xg, where L f (U) is the f-fiber of − U, that is the set of images f n(U) and preimages f n(U) for n 2 N. Then, we prove the conjecture log r ≤ entL( f ) for f being a continuous self-map on a given compact Hausdorff space X, where r is the maximum absolute eigenvalue of f∗, which is the linear transformation associated with f on the n L Cechˇ homology group Hˇ ∗(X; Z) = Hˇ i(X; Z). -
A Gentle Introduction to Dynamical Systems Theory for Researchers in Speech, Language, and Music
A Gentle Introduction to Dynamical Systems Theory for Researchers in Speech, Language, and Music. Talk given at PoRT workshop, Glasgow, July 2012 Fred Cummins, University College Dublin [1] Dynamical Systems Theory (DST) is the lingua franca of Physics (both Newtonian and modern), Biology, Chemistry, and many other sciences and non-sciences, such as Economics. To employ the tools of DST is to take an explanatory stance with respect to observed phenomena. DST is thus not just another tool in the box. Its use is a different way of doing science. DST is increasingly used in non-computational, non-representational, non-cognitivist approaches to understanding behavior (and perhaps brains). (Embodied, embedded, ecological, enactive theories within cognitive science.) [2] DST originates in the science of mechanics, developed by the (co-)inventor of the calculus: Isaac Newton. This revolutionary science gave us the seductive concept of the mechanism. Mechanics seeks to provide a deterministic account of the relation between the motions of massive bodies and the forces that act upon them. A dynamical system comprises • A state description that indexes the components at time t, and • A dynamic, which is a rule governing state change over time The choice of variables defines the state space. The dynamic associates an instantaneous rate of change with each point in the state space. Any specific instance of a dynamical system will trace out a single trajectory in state space. (This is often, misleadingly, called a solution to the underlying equations.) Description of a specific system therefore also requires specification of the initial conditions. In the domain of mechanics, where we seek to account for the motion of massive bodies, we know which variables to choose (position and velocity). -

Edited by Bogdan T. Maruszewski, Wolfgang Muschik, and Andrzej Radowicz. Singapore, World Scientific, 1999, 334(12). 1. INTRODUCTION Atmospheric flows exhibit long-range spatiotemporal correlations manifested as the fractal geometry to the global cloud cover pattern concomitant with inverse power-law form for power spectra of temporal fluctuations of all scales ranging from turbulence (millimeters-seconds) to climate (thousands of kilometers-years) (Tessier et. al., 1996) Long-range spatiotemporal correlations are ubiquitous to dynamical systems in nature and are identified as signatures of self-organized criticality (Bak et. al., 1988) Standard models for turbulent fluid flows in meteorological theory cannot explain satisfactorily the observed multifractal (space-time) structures in atmospheric flows. Numerical models for simulation and prediction of atmospheric flows are subject to deterministic chaos and give unrealistic solutions. Deterministic chaos is a direct consequence of round-off error growth in iterative computations. Round-off error of finite precision computations doubles on an average at each step of iterative computations (Mary Selvam, 1993). Round- off error will propagate to the mainstream computation and give unrealistic solutions in numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate models which incorporate thousands of iterative computations in long-term numerical integration schemes.

Topological Invariance of the Sign of the Lyapunov Exponents in One-Dimensional Maps
PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 134, Number 1, Pages 265–272 S 0002-9939(05)08040-8 Article electronically published on August 19, 2005 TOPOLOGICAL INVARIANCE OF THE SIGN OF THE LYAPUNOV EXPONENTS IN ONE-DIMENSIONAL MAPS HENK BRUIN AND STEFANO LUZZATTO (Communicated by Michael Handel) Abstract. We explore some properties of Lyapunov exponents of measures preserved by smooth maps of the interval, and study the behaviour of the Lyapunov exponents under topological conjugacy. 1. Statement of results In this paper we consider C3 interval maps f : I → I,whereI is a compact interval. We let C denote the set of critical points of f: c ∈C⇔Df(c)=0.We shall always suppose that C is finite and that each critical point is non-flat: for each ∈C ∈ ∞ 1 ≤ |f(x)−f(c)| ≤ c ,thereexist = (c) [2, )andK such that K |x−c| K for all x = c.LetM be the set of ergodic Borel f-invariant probability measures. For every µ ∈M, we define the Lyapunov exponent λ(µ)by λ(µ)= log |Df|dµ. Note that log |Df|dµ < +∞ is automatic since Df is bounded. However we can have log |Df|dµ = −∞ if c ∈Cis a fixed point and µ is the Dirac-δ measure on c. It follows from [15, 1] that this is essentially the only way in which log |Df| can be non-integrable: if µ(C)=0,then log |Df|dµ > −∞. The sign, more than the actual value, of the Lyapunov exponent can have signif- icant implications for the dynamics. A positive Lyapunov exponent, for example, indicates sensitivity to initial conditions and thus “chaotic” dynamics of some kind. -
Thermodynamic Properties of Coupled Map Lattices 1 Introduction
Thermodynamic properties of coupled map lattices J´erˆome Losson and Michael C. Mackey Abstract This chapter presents an overview of the literature which deals with appli- cations of models framed as coupled map lattices (CML’s), and some recent results on the spectral properties of the transfer operators induced by various deterministic and stochastic CML’s. These operators (one of which is the well- known Perron-Frobenius operator) govern the temporal evolution of ensemble statistics. As such, they lie at the heart of any thermodynamic description of CML’s, and they provide some interesting insight into the origins of nontrivial collective behavior in these models. 1 Introduction This chapter describes the statistical properties of networks of chaotic, interacting el- ements, whose evolution in time is discrete. Such systems can be profitably modeled by networks of coupled iterative maps, usually referred to as coupled map lattices (CML’s for short). The description of CML’s has been the subject of intense scrutiny in the past decade, and most (though by no means all) investigations have been pri- marily numerical rather than analytical. Investigators have often been concerned with the statistical properties of CML’s, because a deterministic description of the motion of all the individual elements of the lattice is either out of reach or uninteresting, un- less the behavior can somehow be described with a few degrees of freedom. However there is still no consistent framework, analogous to equilibrium statistical mechanics, within which one can describe the probabilistic properties of CML’s possessing a large but finite number of elements. -
Writing the History of Dynamical Systems and Chaos

In this paper, we flesh out the historiographical tensions arising from these confrontations: longue-duree´ history and revolution; abstract mathematics and the use of mathematical techniques in various other domains. After reviewing the historiography of dynamical systems theory from Poincar´e to the 1960s, we highlight the pioneering work of a few individuals (Steve Smale, Edward Lorenz, David Ruelle). We then go on to discuss the nature of the chaos phenomenon, which, we argue, was a conceptual reconfiguration as -

Infinitely Renormalizable Quadratic Polynomials 1
TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 352, Number 11, Pages 5077{5091 S 0002-9947(00)02514-9 Article electronically published on July 12, 2000 INFINITELY RENORMALIZABLE QUADRATIC POLYNOMIALS YUNPING JIANG Abstract. We prove that the Julia set of a quadratic polynomial which ad- mits an infinite sequence of unbranched, simple renormalizations with complex bounds is locally connected. The method in this study is three-dimensional puzzles. 1. Introduction Let P (z)=z2 + c be a quadratic polynomial where z is a complex variable and c is a complex parameter. The filled-in Julia set K of P is, by definition, the set of points z which remain bounded under iterations of P .TheJulia set J of P is the boundary of K. A central problem in the study of the dynamical system generated by P is to understand the topology of a Julia set J, in particular, the local connectivity for a connected Julia set. A connected set J in the complex plane is said to be locally connected if for every point p in J and every neighborhood U of p there is a neighborhood V ⊆ U such that V \ J is connected. We first give the definition of renormalizability. A quadratic-like map F : U ! V is a holomorphic, proper, degree two branched cover map, whereT U and V are ⊂ 1 −n two domains isomorphic to a disc and U V .ThenKF = n=0 F (U)and JF = @KF are the filled-in Julia set and the Julia set of F , respectively. We only consider those quadratic-like maps whose Julia sets are connected. -
