The set of continuous functions with zero topological entropy

From MaRDI portal





The author considers the class \(\mathcal E\) of continuous maps of the interval with zero topological entropy. He proves that any \(f\) in \(\mathcal E\) is the uniform limit of functions possessing only finite omega-limit sets; this solves a problem stated by \textit{L. S. Block} and \textit{W. A. Coppel} [Dynamics in one dimension, Lect. Notes Math. 1513 (1992; Zbl 0746.58007)]. Moreover, from \textit{L. S. Block}'s stability theorem [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 81, 333-336 (1981; Zbl 0462.54029)] it follows that \(\mathcal E\) is a nowhere dense perfect subset of the space \(\mathcal C\) of continuous maps of the interval. The author gives a new proof of this fact.
