Chaotic dynamics of continuous-time topological semi-flows on Polish spaces (Q2259253): Difference between revisions

In the paper under review a \textit{semiflow} \((\mathbb{R}_+,X,f)\), shortly \((\mathbb{R}_+,X)\), is a continuous monoid action \(f:\mathbb{R}_+\times X\to X\), \((t,x)\mapsto f(t,x)=:tx\) for every \(t\in \mathbb{R}_+, x\in X\), of the additive monoid \(\mathbb{R}_+=[0,\infty)\) on a Polish space \((X,d)\). The main result of the paper is the following theorem: Let \((\mathbb{R}_+,X)\) be a semiflow which is non-minimal, point-transitive and such that the set of points \(x\in X\) whose orbit-closure is a compact minimal subset of \(X\) is dense in \(X\). Then the semiflow \((\mathbb{R}_+,X)\) is \textit{sensitive} in the following sense: there is a number \(c>0\) such that for every \(x\in X\) there exists a dense \(G_\delta\)-set \(S_c(x)\subset X\) with the property \(\limsup_{t\to\infty} d(tx,ty)\geq c\) for each \(y\in S_c(x)\). The paper is well written and interesting.
