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.

TOPOLOGICAL ENTROPY AND IRREGULAR RECURRENCE

This paper is devoted to problems stated by Z. Zhou and ELi in 2009. They concern relations between almost periodic, weakly almost periodic, and quasi-weakly almost periodic points of a continuous map f and its topological entropy. The negative answer follows by our recent paper. But for continuous maps of the interval and other more general one-dimensional spaces we give more results; in some cases the answer is positive.

Banach Upper Density Recurrent Points of C^0-flows

Let X denote a compact metric space with distance d and F ： X×R→ X or Ft ： X→X denote a C0-flow. From the point of view of ergodic theory, all important dynamical behaviors take place on a full measure set. The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of Banach upper density recurrent points and to show that the closure of the set of all Banach upper density recurrent points equals the measure center or the minimal center of attraction for a C0-flow. Moreover, we give an example to show that the set of quasi-weakly almost periodic points can be included properly in the set of Banach upper density recurrent points, and point out that the set of Banach upper density recurrent points can be included properly in the set of recurrent points.

A Characterization of Topologically Transitive Attributes for a Class of Dynamical Systems

In this work, by virtue of the properties of weakly almost periodic points of a dynamical system （X, T） with at least two points, the authors prove that, if the measure center M（T） of T is the whole space, that is, M（T） = X, then the following statements are equivalent： （1） （X, T） is ergodic mixing; （2） （X, T） is topologically double ergodic; （3） （X, T） is weak mixing; （4） （X, T） is extremely scattering; （5） （X, T） is strong scattering; （6） （X × X, T × T） is strong scattering; （7） （X × X, T × T） is extremely scattering; （8） For any subset S of N with upper density 1, there is a c-dense Fα-chaotic set with respect to S. As an application, the authors show that, for the sub-shift aA of finite type determined by a k × k-（0, 1） matrix A, erA is strong mixing if and only if aA is totally transitive.
