The smallest amount of chaos (Q968573)

It is argued in this work that the property of non-approximately periodic points form asymptotic pairs that can be used to characterize those among chaotic dynamical systems (DS) having the least complicated behavior. For a DS a point \(x\in X\) is approximately periodic if, for every \(\varepsilon>0\) there is a periodic point \(p\) such that \[ \limsup_{t\to\infty}d(\varphi(t,x),\varphi(t,p))<\varepsilon \] and it is said that points \(x,y\in X\) form an asymptotic pair if \[ \lim_{t\to\infty}d(\varphi(t,x),\varphi(t,y))=0. \] This thesis introduces a preorder in the class of properties of DS and show that, this property is smallest than several other notions naturally related to the idea of chaotic behavior. The main result of the work represented in the form: Let \(X\) be a compact surface. Then there is an A-system (respectively, an A-system, an S-system) \((X,R,\varphi)\) that can be blown up to a D-system (respectively, an S-system, a D-system).
