Compact global chaotic attractors of discrete control systems (Q5920337)

Let \(\mathcal{M}\) be a compact subset of the space of all continuous mappings \(f:W\to W\) on a complete metric space \(W\). In the paper under review, the author gives sufficient conditions for the existence of compact global attractors for a family of discrete control systems (cocycles) in the case when \(\mathcal{M}\) is finite (Section 3), and also in the general case when \(\mathcal{M}\) contains an infinite number of mappings which are not necessarily invertible (Section 4). Furthermore, the author gives a complete description of the dynamics of global attractors. The results in this paper extend and improve some existing results in the field.
