Devaney chaos and stronger forms of sensitivity on the product of semiflows (Q2416391): Difference between revisions

A semiflow is a triplet \((T,X,\phi)\), where \(\phi\) is a continuous left action of a non-compact topological monoid \(T\) on metric space \(X\). The authors study chaos, transitivity and sensitivity problems on products of semiflows. They investigate sufficient conditions for a product of two semiflows under the action of psp monoid (satisfying the piecewise syndetic property: no piecewise syndetic subset is relatively compact) to be topologically transitive (TT) (see Theorem 3.1). For this to hold the first multiplier has to be strongly mixing (and cannot be replaced by weaker forms of transitivity, see Example 3.3) and the second one has to be TT and has a dense set of almost periodic points. They also generalize previously known results for discrete dynamical systems. Other results refer to countably infinite products \((T, X_\infty,\phi_\infty)\) of semiflows \(\{(T, X_i, \phi_i)\}_{i=1}^\infty\). The authors study how various types of chaos and related properties of sensitivity (e.g., topological transitivity, strong mixing, sensitivity, multisensitivity, ergodical sensitivity) are extended to countably infinite products of semiflows. If a countably infinite product of semiflows \(\phi_i\) is Devaney chaotic and each factor map \(\phi_i\) is non-minimal, then each \(\phi_i\) is Devaney chaotic (Theorem 4.1), but the converse is not true (Example 4.3). As a corollary, if a countably infinite product of semiflows is TT and each factor map \(\phi_i\) is TT, then each factor map is also TT (Corollary 4.2), but not conversely (Examples 4.4 and 4.5). The map \(\phi_\infty\) is strongly mixing if and only if each factor map \(\phi_i\) is strongly mixing (Theorem 4.6). It is also shown that \(\phi_\infty\) is sensitive (resp., multisensitive, egodically sensitive) if and only if there exists a sensitive (resp., multisensitive, ergodically sensitive) factor semiflow \(\phi_k\) (see resp., Theorems 4.7, 4.12, 4.13). Finally, the authors weaken the conditions under which the infinite product of semiflows is chaotic in the sense of Devaney (see Theorem 4.9).
