Yet Another Definition of Chaos

From MaRDI portal





By R. L. Devaney, a self-map of a metric space is chaotic if it satisfies denseness of periodic points, sensitivity with respect to initial conditions, and topological transitivity. Banks et al. showed that the middle condition is superfluous. The present paper proves that chaoticity can equivalently be defined by the condition that every pair of nonempty open subsets shares a periodic orbit. Moreover, two more equivalent conditions are given.
