On quasi-weakly almost periodic points

The core problem of dynamical systems is to study the asymptotic behaviors of orbits and their topological structures. It is well known that the orbits with certain recurrence and generating ergodic (or invariant) measures are important, such orbits form a full measure set for all invariant measures of the system, its closure is called the measure center of the system. To investigate this set, Zhou introduced the notions of weakly almost periodic point and quasi-weakly almost periodic point in 1990s, and presented some open problems on complexity of discrete dynamical systems in 2004. One of the open problems is as follows: for a quasi-weakly almost periodic point but not weakly almost periodic, is there an invariant measure generated by its orbit such that the support of this measure is equal to its minimal center of attraction (a closed invariant set which attracts its orbit statistically for every point and has no proper subset with this property)? Up to now, the problem remains open. In this paper, we construct two points in the one-sided shift system of two symbols, each of them generates a sub-shift system. One gives a positive answer to the question above, the other answers in the negative. Thus we solve the open problem completely. More important, the two examples show that a proper quasi-weakly almost periodic orbit behaves very differently with weakly almost periodic orbit.

A Note on Quasi-weakly Almost Periodic Point

Recently, He et al. [On quasi-weakly almost periodic points. Sci. China Math., 56, 597- 606 （2013）] constructed two binary sub-shifts to solve an open problem posed by Zhou and Feng in [Twelve open problems on the exact value of the Hausdorff measure and on topological entropy： A brief survey of recent results. Nonlinearity, 17, 493-502 （2004）]. In this paper, we study more dynamical properties of those two binary sub-shifts. We show that the first one has zero topological entropy and is transitive but not weakly mixing, while the second one has positive topological entropy and is strongly mixing.

On Quasi-weakly Almost Periodic Points of Continuous Flows

Let X be a compact metric space, F : X ×R→ X be a continuous flow and x ∈ X a proper quasi-weakly almost periodic point, that is, x is quasi-weakly almost periodic but not weakly almost periodic. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether there exists an invariant measure generated by the orbit of x such that the support of this measure coincides with the minimal center of attraction of x? In order to solve the problem, two continuous flows are constructed. In one continuous flow,there exist a proper quasi-weakly almost periodic point and an invariant measure generated by its orbit such that the support of this measure coincides with its minimal center of attraction; and in the other,there is a proper quasi-weakly almost periodic point such that the support of any invariant measure generated by its orbit is properly contained in its minimal center of attraction. So the mentioned problem is sufficiently answered in the paper.

SOLUTIONS TO DISCRETE MULTIPARAMETER PERIODIC BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE p-LAPLACIAN VIA CRITICAL POINT THEORY

In this paper, we consider the existence of three nontrivial solutions for a discrete non-linear multiparameter periodic problem involving the p-Laplacian. By using the similar method for the Dirichlet boundary value problems in [C. Bonanno and P. Candito, Appl. Anal., 88（4） （2009）, pp. 605-616], we construct two new strong maximum principles and obtain that the boundary value problem has three positive solutions for λ and μ in some suitable intervals. The approaches we use are the critical point theory.

Second Descendible Self-Mapping with Closed Periodic Points Set

Let and f:Xn→Xn be a continuous map. If f is a second descendible map, then P(f) is closed if and only if one of the following hold: 1);2) For any z ε R (f), there exists a yεw (z,f) ∩ P(f) such that every point of the set orb (y,f) is a isolated point of the set w (z,f);3) For any z ε R(f), the set w (z,f) is finite;4) For any z ε R(f), the set w' (z,f) is finite. The consult give another condition of f with closed periodic set other than [1].

PERIODIC POINTS AND NORMALITY CONCERNING MEROMORPHIC FUNCTIONS WITH MULTIPLICITY

In this article,two results concerning the periodic points and normality of meromorphic functions are obtained:(i)the exact lower bound for the numbers of periodic points of rational functions with multiple fixed points and zeros is proven by let ting R(z)be a nonpolynomial rational function,and if all zeros and poles of R(z)—z are multiple,then Rk(z)has at least k+1 fixed points in the complex plane for each integer k≥2;(ii)a complete solution to the problem of normality of meromorphic functions with periodic points is given by let ting F be a family of meromorphic functions in a domain D,and let ting k≥2 be a positive integer.If,for each f∈F,all zeros and poles of f(z)-z are multiple,and its iteration fk has at most k distinct fixed points in D,then F is normal in D.Examples show that all of the conditions are the best possible.

Coseismic site response and slope instability using periodic boundary conditions in the material point method

This paper proposed the explicit generalized-a time scheme and periodic boundary conditions in the material point method(MPM)for the simulation of coseismic site response.The proposed boundary condition uses an intuitive particle-relocation algorithm ensuring material points always remain within the computational mesh.The explicit generalized-a time scheme was implemented in MPM to enable the damping of spurious high frequency oscillations.Firstly,the MPM was verified against finite element method(FEM).Secondly,ability of the MPM in capturing the analytical transfer function was investigated.Thirdly,a symmetric embankment was adopted to investigate the effects of ground motion arias intensity(I_(a)),geometry dimensions,and constitutive models.The results show that the larger the model size,the higher the crest runout and settlement for the same ground motion.When using a Mohr-Coulomb model,the crest runout increases with increasing I_(a).However,if the strain-softening law is activated,the results are less influenced by the ground motion.Finally,the MPM results were compared with the Newmark sliding block solution.The simplified analysis herein highlights the capabilities of MPM to capture the full deformation process for earthquake engineering applications,the importance of geometry characterization,and the selection of appropriate constitutive models when simulating coseismic site response and subsequent large deformations.

On the Existence of Time-periodic Solution to the Compressible Heat-conducting Navier-Stokes Equations

We study in this article the compressible heat-conducting Navier-Stokes equations in periodic domain driven by a time-periodic external force. The existence of the strong time-periodic solution is established by a new approach. First, we reformulate the system and consider some decay estimates of the linearized system.Under some smallness and symmetry assumptions on the external force, the existence of the time-periodic solution of the linearized system is then identi?ed as the ?xed point of a Poincare′ map which is obtained by the Tychonoff ?xed point theorem.Although the Tychonoff ?xed point theorem cannot directly ensure the uniqueness,but we could construct a set-valued function, the ?xed point of which is the timeperiodic solution of the original system. At last, the existence of the ?xed point is obtained by the Kakutani ?xed point theorem. In addition, the uniqueness of timeperiodic solution is also studied.

Second Order Periodic Boundary Value Problems Involving the Distributional Henstock-Kurzweil Integral

We apply the distributional derivative to study the existence of solutions of the second order periodic boundary value problems involving the distributional Henstock-Kurzweil integral. The distributional Henstock-Kurzweil integral is a general intergral, which contains the Lebesgue and Henstock-Kurzweil integrals. And the distributional derivative includes ordinary derivatives and approximate derivatives. By using the method of upper and lower solutions and a fixed point theorem, we achieve some results which are the generalizations of some previous results in the literatures.

THE ASYMPTOTIC PERIODICITY OF LORENZ MAPS

A Lorenz map f : I --> I is a one dimensional piecewise monotone map with a single discontinuity c. Let [GRAPHICS] be the collection of all the preimsges of c. Authors prove that if C'(f) is countable then there exists M such that Card(omega(x)) less than or equal to M for all x is an element of I. If C'(f) is uncountable then omega(x) is uncountable for some x is an element of I. So f is asymptotically periodic if and only if C'(f) is countable.

Three positive doubly periodic solutions of a nonlinear telegraph system

This paper studies existence of at least three positive doubly periodic solutions of a coupled nonlinear telegraph system with doubly periodic boundary conditions. First, by using the Green function and maximum principle, existence of solutions of a nonlinear telegraph system is equivalent to existence of fixed points of an operator. By imposing growth conditions on the nonlinearities, existence of at least three fixed points in cone is obtained by using the Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem to cones in ordered Banach spaces. In other words, there exist at least three positive doubly periodic solutions of nonlinear telegraph system.
