Sub-shadowing and specification through pointwise dynamics

From MaRDI portal





This paper studies how pointwise dynamical properties can be used to recover global dynamical behavior in continuous maps on compact metric spaces, with a focus on variants of the shadowing and specification properties. The authors introduce the notion of \(\bar{d}\)-shadowable points, which is a pointwise version of the \(\bar{d}\)-shadowing property. More precisely, let \(f: X \rightarrow X\) be a continuous map on a compact metric space \(X\). A point \(x \in X\) is said to be a \textit{\(\bar{d}\)-shadowable point} of \(f\) if for every \(\varepsilon >0\), there exists \(\delta >0\) such that every \(\delta\)-ergodic-pseudo-orbit of \(f\) through \(x\) is \(\varepsilon\)-ergodic-shadowed with index \(\frac{1}{2}\) by some point in \(X\).\N\NThe authors show that a system has the \(\bar{d}\)-shadowing property if and only if it possesses at least one \(\bar{d}\)-shadowable point. Using this framework, they prove that an equicontinuous map on a non-trivial compact metric space cannot have the \(\bar{d}\)-shadowing property. As a consequence, any minimal continuous map with the \(\bar{d}\)-shadowing property is chaotic in the sense of Auslander-Yorke.\N\NThe paper further investigates the relationship between shadowing, ergodic shadowing, and specification through pointwise dynamics. For surjective continuous maps, the authors establish the equivalence between the existence of an ergodic shadowable point, the ergodic shadowing property, the existence of a pseudo-orbital specification point, and the pseudo-orbital specification property. As a consequence, the existence of a pseudo-orbital specification point implies the classical specification property. Moreover, they prove that if a point is both shadowable and a specification point, then the system has the shadowing property, the specification property, the ergodic shadowing property, and the \(\bar{d}\)-shadowing property. In particular, the presence of a shadowable point in a topologically mixing system guarantees both the shadowing property and the specification property. Finally, the paper connects the specification property with sensitivity notions, showing that any system with the specification property must be mean sensitive.
