In this paper we investigate maps of the two-torus $\mathbb{T}^{2}$ of the form $T(x,y)=(x+\unicode[STIX]{x1D714},g(x)+f(y))$ for Diophantine $\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}\in \mathbb{T}$ and for a class of maps $f,g:\mathbb{T}\rightarrow \mathbb{T}$, where each $g$ is strictly monotone and of degree 2 and each $f$ is an orientation-preserving circle homeomorphism. For our class of $f$ and $g$, we show that $T$ is minimal and has exactly two invariant and ergodic Borel probability measures. Moreover, these measures are supported on two $T$-invariant graphs. One of the graphs is a strange non-chaotic attractor whose basin of attraction consists of (Lebesgue) almost all points in $\mathbb{T}^{2}$. Only a low-regularity assumption (Lipschitz) is needed on the maps $f$ and $g$, and the results are robust with respect to Lipschitz-small perturbations of $f$ and $g$.

Boolean networks are discrete dynamical systems comprised of coupled Boolean functions. An important parameter that characterizes such systems is the Lyapunov exponent, which measures the state stability of the system to small perturbations. We consider networks comprised of monotone Boolean functions and derive asymptotic formulas for the Lyapunov exponent of almost all monotone Boolean networks. The formulas are different depending on whether the number of variables of the constituent Boolean functions, or equivalently, the connectivity of the Boolean network, is even or odd.

Existence of expansivity for group action [Formula: see text] depends on algebraic properties of [Formula: see text] and the topology of [Formula: see text]. We give an expansive action of a solvable group on [Formula: see text] while there is no expansive action of a solvable group on a dendrite [Formula: see text]. We prove that a continuous action [Formula: see text] on a compact metric space [Formula: see text] is expansive if and only if there exists an open cover [Formula: see text] such that for any other open cover [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] for some finite set [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we introduce the notion of topological expansivity of a group action [Formula: see text] on a [Formula: see text]-paracompact space [Formula: see text]. If a [Formula: see text]-paracompact space [Formula: see text] admits topologically expansive action, then [Formula: see text] is Hausdorff space. We also show that a continuous action [Formula: see text] of a finitely generated group [Formula: see text] on a compact Hausdorff uniform space [Formula: see text] is expansive with an expansive neighborhood [Formula: see text] if and only if for every [Formula: see text] there is an entourage [Formula: see text] such that for every two [Formula: see text]-pseudo orbit [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. Finally, we introduce measure [Formula: see text]-expansive actions on a uniform space. The set of all [Formula: see text]-expansive measures with common expansive neighborhood for a group action [Formula: see text] is a convex, closed and [Formula: see text]-invariant subset of the set of all Borel probability measures on [Formula: see text]. Also, we show that a group action [Formula: see text] is expansive if all Borel probability measures are [Formula: see text]-expansive or all Dirac measures [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], have a common expansive neighborhood.

Abstract Let $(n_k)_{k=1}^{\infty }$ be a lacunary sequence of integers. We show that if $\mu$ is a probability measure on $[0,1)$ such that $|\widehat{\mu }(t)|\leq c|t|^{-\eta }$, then for $\mu$-almost all $x$, the discrepancy $D_N(n_kx)$ satisfies $$\begin{equation*}\frac{1}{4} \leq \limsup_{N\to\infty}\frac{N D_N(n_kx)}{\sqrt{N\log\log N}} \leq C\end{equation*}$$for some constant $C>0$. This proves a conjecture of Haynes, Jensen and Kristensen and allows an improvement on their previous result relevant to an inhomogeneous version of the Littlewood conjecture.

The use of active (feedback) control to alter the bifurcation structure of dynamical systems is discussed and illustrated with an example. It is shown that with the use of a feedback controller effecting small perturbations in the boundary conditions, one can stabilize some of the otherwise non-stable orbits embedded in the chaotic attractor. The controller also can be used to destabilize stable flows or, in other words, to induce chaos in otherwise laminar (fully predictable), non-chaotic flow. Finally, the controller can be used to switch at will from one flow pattern to another.

The Muthuswamy–Chua system [Formula: see text] describes the simplest electronic circuit which can have chaotic phenomena. In this paper, we first prove the existence of three families of consecutive periodic orbits of the system when α = 0, two of which are located on consecutive invariant surfaces and form two invariant topological cylinders. Then we prove that for α > 0 if the system has a periodic orbit or a chaotic attractor, it must intersect both of the planes z = 0 and z = -1 infinitely many times as t tends to infinity. As a byproduct, we get an example of unstable invariant topological cylinders which are not normally hyperbolic and which are also destroyed under small perturbations.

We prove that the set of expansive measures of a homeomorphism of a compact metric space is a [Formula: see text] subset of the space of Borel probability measures equipped with the weak* topology. Next that every expansive measure of a homeomorphism of a compact metric space can be weak* approximated by expansive measures with invariant support. In addition, if the expansive measures of a homeomorphism of a compact metric space are dense in the space of Borel probability measures, then there is an expansive measure whose support is both invariant and close to the whole space with respect to the Hausdorff metric. Henceforth, if the expansive measures are dense in the space of Borel probability measures, the set of heteroclinic points has no interior and the space has no isolated points.

Abstract In this paper, we introduce measure-theoretic for Borel probability measures to characterize upper and lower Katok measure-theoretic entropies in discrete type and the measure-theoretic entropy for arbitrary Borel probability measure in nonautonomous case. Then we establish new variational principles for Bowen topological entropy for nonautonomous dynamical systems. JEL classification numbers: 37A35. Keywords: Nonautonomous, Measure-theoretical entropies, Variational principles.

A method for finding hidden chaotic attractors in the plasma system is presented. Using the Routh–Hurwitz criterion, the stability distribution associated with two parameters is identified to find the region around the equilibrium points of the stable nodes, stable focus-nodes, saddles and saddle-foci for the purpose of investigating hidden chaos. A physical interpretation is provided of the stability distribution for each type of equilibrium point. The basin of attraction and parameter region of hidden chaos are identified by excluding the self-excited chaotic attractors of all equilibrium points. Homotopy and numerical continuation are also employed to check whether the basin of chaotic attraction intersects with the neighborhood of a saddle equilibrium. Bifurcation analysis, phase portrait analysis, and basins of different dynamical attraction are used as tools to distinguish visually the self-excited chaotic attractor and hidden chaotic attractor. The Casimir power reflects the error power between the dissipative energy and the energy supplied by the whistler field. It explains physically, analytically, and numerically the conditions that generate the different dynamics, such as sinks, periodic orbits, and chaos.

We consider a certain two-parameter family of automorphisms of the affine plane over a complete, locally compact non-Archimedean field. Each of these automorphisms admits a chaotic attractor on which it is topologically conjugate to a full two-sided shift map, and the attractor supports a unit Borel measure which describes the distribution of the forward orbit of Haar-almost all points in the basin of attraction. We also compute the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor, which is non-integral.
