STOCHASTIC POTENTIALS OF INTERMITTENT MAPS

Consider an intermittent map $f_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D705}}:[0,1]\rightarrow [0,1]$ and a Hölder continuous potential $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}:[0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ . We show that $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$ is stochastic for $f_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D705}}$ if and only if the topological pressure $P(f_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D705}},\unicode[STIX]{x1D711})$ satisfies $P(f_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D705}},\unicode[STIX]{x1D711})-\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}(0)>0$ . As a consequence, for each $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}>0$ sufficiently small, the set of Hölder continuous potentials of exponent $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}$ that are not stochastic for $f_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D705}}$ has nonempty interior in the space of all such potentials.

Monotone Flows with Dense Periodic Orbits

Let R d be partially ordered by a closed convex cone K ⊂ R d having nonempty interior: y x ⇐⇒ y − x ∈ K. Assume X ⊂ R d is a connected open set, and ϕ a flow on X that is monotone for this order: If y x and t ≥ 0, then ϕ t y ϕ t y. Theorem: If periodic points are dense, ϕ is globally periodic.

ON ANNULAR MAPS OF THE TORUS AND SUBLINEAR DIFFUSION

A classical article by Misiurewicz and Ziemian (J. Lond. Math. Soc.40(2) (1989), 490–506) classifies the elements in Homeo$_{0}(\mathbf{T}^{2})$ by their rotation set $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}$, according to wether $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}$ is a point, a segment or a set with nonempty interior. A recent classification of nonwandering elements in Homeo$_{0}(\mathbf{T}^{2})$ by Koropecki and Tal was given in (Invent. Math.196 (2014), 339–381), according to the intrinsic underlying ambient space where the dynamics takes place: planar, annular and strictly toral maps. We study the link between these two classifications, showing that, even abroad the nonwandering setting, annular maps are characterized by rotation sets which are rational segments. Also, we obtain information on the sublinear diffusion of orbits in the—not very well understood—case that $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}$ has nonempty interior.

An Approach for Solving Discrete Game Problems with Total Constraints on Controls

We consider a linear pursuit game of one pursuer and one evader whose motions are described by different-type linear discrete systems. Controls of the players satisfy total constraints. Terminal setMis a subset ofℝnand it is assumed to have nonempty interior. Game is said to be completed ifyk-xk∈Mat some stepk. To construct the control of the pursuer, at each stepi, we use positions of the players from step 1 to stepiand the value of the control parameter of the evader at the stepi. We give sufficient conditions of completion of pursuit and construct the control for the pursuer in explicit form. This control forces the evader to expend some amount of his resources on a period consisting of finite steps. As a result, after several such periods the evader exhausted his energy and then pursuit will be completed.

On similarity between topologies

Let T 1 and T 2 be topologies defined on the same set X and let us say that (X, T 1) and (X, T 2) are similar if the families of sets which have nonempty interior with respect to T 1 and T 2 coincide. The aim of the paper is to study how similar topologies are related with each other.

Commutativity of set-valued cosine families

Let K be a closed convex cone with nonempty interior in a real Banach space and let cc(K) denote the family of all nonempty convex compact subsets of K. If {F t: t ≥ 0} is a regular cosine family of continuous additive set-valued functions F t: K → cc(K) such that x ∈ F t(x) for t ≥ 0 and x ∈ K, then $F_t \circ F_s (x) = F_s \circ F_t (x)fors,t \geqslant 0andx \in K$.
