文摘A topological dynamical system is n-sensitive,if there is a positive constant such that in each non-empty open subset there are n distinct points whose iterates will be apart from the constant at least for a same moment.The properties of n-sensitivity in minimal systems are investigated.It turns out that a minimal system is n-sensitive if and only if the n-th regionally proximal relation Q_n contains a point whose coordinates are pairwise distinct.Moreover,the structure of a minimal system which is n-sensitive but not(n+1)-sensitive(n≥2)is determined.
