Shadowing properties of \({\mathcal L}\)-hyperbolic homeomorphisms (Q5935976)

The notion of \(\mathcal L\)-hyperbolic homeomorphisms on compact metric spaces is introduced as a generalization of Axiom A diffeomorphisms. It is shown to be equivalent to expansive homeomorphisms having the shadowing property and to Ruelle's Smale spaces. For \(\mathcal L\)-hyperbolic homeomorphisms the Lipschitz shadowing property and average shadowing property are established. Some examples of \(\mathcal L\)-hyperbolic homeomorphisms are considered. Main results of the paper are the following. Theorem 1. Let \(f\) be a homeomorphism of a compact metric space \(X\). The following conditions are equivalent: (1) \(f\) is expansive and has the shadowing property, (2) there is a compatible metric \(d\) for \(X\) such that \(f\) is \(\mathcal L\)-hyperbolic, (3) \((X,f)\) is a Smale space. Theorem 2. Let \(f:X\to X\) be a homeomorphism of a compact metric space \((X,d)\). If \(f\) is \(\mathcal L\)-hyperbolic then \(f\) has the Lipschitz shadowing property. Theorem 3. Let \(f:(X,d)\to (X,d)\) be an \(\mathcal L\)-hyperbolic homeomorphism of a compact metric space \((X,d)\). The following conditions are equivalent: (1) \(f\) has the average shadowing property, (2) \(f\) is topologically transitive.
