Dimension estimates for invariant sets of dynamical systems

From MaRDI portal





The author deals with both free flows and discrete-time dynamical systems of smoothness \(C^{1}\) on \(n\)-dimensional smooth Riemannian manifolds which posses compact invariant sets. This is a clarifying paper on the relationships between several classes of dimension like characteristics (namely Hausdorff, box and Lyapunov dimensions, and topological entropy) of a dynamical system and the geometric complexity of invariant sets and limit sets. After to give a short review on attractors, dissipativity and Lyapunov functions, the author presents basic facts on multilinear operators acting on bundles, for instance, Losinskij measures and measure free-Lyapunov exponents, the vertical part of the variational equation and Liouville inequality. Subsequently, the author analyzes various dimension estimates of invariant sets, for semi-flows in normal coordinates, for dynamical systems with an equivariant tangent bundle splitting and for noninjective maps, respectively. As example of the results examined we have a lower estimate for the lower box dimension which goes back to G. Kushnirenko [\textit{A. Fathi}, Commun. Math. Phys. 126, No. 2, 249-262 (1989; Zbl 0819.58026)], an adapted version for Riemannian manifolds of Hilmy's result concerning an upper topological dimension estimate of invariant sets [\textit{H. Hilmy}, C. R. (Dokl.) Acad. Sci. URSS, n. Ser. 14, 261-262 (1937; Zbl 0016.23601)], and Franz's theorems concerning an upper Hausdorff dimension estimate of invariant sets [\textit{A. Franz}, Nonlinearity 13, No. 5, 1425-1438 (2000; Zbl 0978.37038)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0968.00013].
