Chaotic behaviour on invariant sets of linear operators (Q2342940)

In the paper under review, the authors are concerned with the study of the dynamics of a linear operator \(T: X\to X\) on a topological vector space \(X\) in connection with the dynamical behaviour of the restriction of \(T\) to certain invariant sets. In particular, in Section 2 of the paper, the authors provide several conditions under which a dynamical property can pass from an invariant set (or a sequence of invariant sets) of the operator \(T\) to the closure of its linear span (or to the union of the sequence of invariant sets). For example, they show that, if \(K\) is a \(T\)-invariant set for \(T\) such that \(0\in K\) and \(T|_{K}\) is weakly mixing (respectively, mixing, weakly mixing and chaotic), then \(T|_{\overline{\text{span K}}}\) is weakly mixing (respectively, mixing, weakly mixing and chaotic). Vice versa, they give conditions on the operator \(T\) to ensure that the restriction of \(T\) to an invariant set satisfies certain dynamical properties. In the last section of the paper, the authors give several criteria for operators and \(C_0\)-semigroups that allow certain dynamical properties to their restriction to the invariant sets. Special attention is devoted to positive operators on Fréchet lattices and to \(C_0\)-semigroups of positive operators on Banach lattices when the invariant set is the positive cone. The authors also provide examples that illustrate the results of the paper.
