Course objectives
This course is a graduate level introduction to the mathematical theory of discrete dynamical systems on compact metric spaces and additionaly on the intercal. We will discuss some fundamental examples in the field, including circle rotations, shifts and subshifts, quadratic maps. We cover topics such as limit sets and recurrence, topological mixing, transitivity, entropy and symbolic dynamics.
Syllabus
  • 1. Elementary notions
    Orbit (full, forward, backward), periodic orbit.
    Brower fixed point theorem.
    Sharkovskii ordering.
    2. Hyperbolicity
    Critical point, hyperbolic point, attractive and repulsice point.
    3. Examples of dynamical systems
    Quadratic system - logistic map, the tent map, rotations of the circle.
    4. Symbolical dynamics - shift space
    Shift map and its properties, shift of finite type.
    5. Topological dynamics
    Minimal sets, limit sets, nonwandering sets, centre, conjugacy.
    Transitivity, total transitivity, mixings, their relations and relations to the dense orbit.
    Recurrence and relations to ninimality.
    Topological entropy.
