Connected and not arcwise connected invariant sets for some 2-dimensional dynamical systems (Q2654724)

Let \(T:\mathbb R^2\to\mathbb R^2\) be a diffeomorphism of class \(C^1\). Let \(DT(P)\) denotes the Jacobi's matrix of \(T\) for \(P=(x,y)\) and \(|K|\) denotes the area of \(K\subset\mathbb R^2\). The main theorem of the present paper: Assume that the conditions: \parindent=6mm\begin{itemize}\item[(i)] there exists a compact, simply connected set \(K\) with piecewisely smooth boundary such that \(T(K)\subset K\), \item[(ii)] \(|T^n(K)|\to 0\) for \(n\to\infty\), \item[(iii)] \(K\) contains at least two distinct fixed points, and for one of them say \(P_1\), the eigenvalues of \(DT\left( P_1\right)\) say \(\lambda_1\) and \(\lambda _2\) satisfy the inequality \( \lambda_1<-1<\lambda_2<0 \) are fulfilled. Then the set \(\Omega :=\bigcap _{n=0}^{\infty} T^n(K)\) is connected and not arcwise connected, invariant, compact with zero Lebesgue measure.\end{itemize}
