Subject Areas: Dynamical System

1. Introduction
We will consider a system
given by a locally compact Hausdorff space (phase space) X and λ-irresolute map
. A point
“moves,” its trajectory being the sequence
, where
is the nth iteration of f. The point
is the position of x after n units of time. The set of points of the trajectory of x under f is called the orbit of x, denoted by
. As a motivation for the notion of topological transitivity of
one may think of a real physical system, where a state is never given or measured exactly, but always up to a certain error. So instead of points one should study λ-open subsets of the phase space and describe how they move in that space. If for instance the λ-type minimality of
is defined by requiring that every point
visits every λ-open set V in X (i.e.,
for some
) then, instead, one may wish to study the following concept: every nonempty λ-open subset U of X visits every nonempty λ-open subset V of X in the following sense:
for some
. If the topological system
has this property; then it is called topologically λ-type transitive. We also say that f itself is topologically λ-transitive.
In this paper, new types of topologically λ-type transitive sets are introduced and studied. This is intended as a survey article on transitive sets in a system given by a λ-irresolute self-map on a topological space. On one hand it introduces postgraduate students to the study of new types of topological transitive sets and gives an overview of results on the topic; but, on the other hand, it covers some of the recent developments of mathematical science, technology, electronic and computer science. I introduced and defined a new type of transitive sets called λ-type transitive set and some of its properties are investigated. Relationships with some other types of transitive sets are given. I list some relevant properties of the λ-type transitive set. I have proved that every λ-type transitive set is transitive set but the converse not necessarily true. A topologically λ-type transitive set does not partition into nonempty λ-closed subsets. If A is a topologically λ-type transitive set, then there does not exist nonempty disjoint λ-closed subsets B and C of A such that
. Every topologically transitive set is nonempty λ-closed and invariant. The set of all λ-cluster points is called the λ-closure of A and is denoted by
A point x ∈ X is said to be a λ-interior point of a subset A ⊂ X if there exists a λ-open set U containing x such that U ⊂ A. The set of all λ-interior points of A is said to be the λ-interior of A and is denoted by
, [1] - [3] .
2. Preliminaries and Definitions
To study the dynamics of a self-map
means to study the qualitative behavior of the sequences
as n goes to infinity when x varies in X,
is the position of x after n unit of time, where
denotes the composition of f with itself n times.
Definition 2.1. [4] By a topological system I mean a pair
where X is a locally compact Hausdorff space (the phase space), and
is a continuous function. The dynamics of the system is given by
and the solution passing through x is the sequence
.
Definition 2.2. Let
, then the set
is called an orbit of x under f, so
is the set of points which occur on the orbit of x at some positive time, and the sequence
is called the trajectory of x.
The set of limit points of the orbit
is called the
-limit set of x, and is denoted by
A subset D of X is f-invariant if
A non-empty closed invariant subset D of X is minimal, if
for every
A point
is minimal if it is contained in some minimal subset of X.
For a point
we say that f is λ-type open at x if for every open set U containing x,
for a subset
we say that f is λ-type open on A, if f is λ-type open at x for every
Note that if f is open at x then it is λ-type open at x but not conversely.
Definition 2.3. [5] A function
is called λ-irresolute if the inverse image of each λ-open set is a λ-open set in X.
Proposition 2.4. Let
be a map, where X, Y are λ-compact, second countable, Hausdorff spaces. If for each
there exists a λ-open set U containing p such that
is λ-irresolute, then f is λ-irresolute.
Proof: Suppose that for every
there exists a λ-open set U such that
is λ-irresolute. So there is a cover
with this property. Consider a λ-open set
. Note that
so
which is λ-open since f is λ-irresolute.
Definition 2.5. (1) Let
be a topological space,
be λ-irresolute map, then the set
is called λ-type transitive set if for every pair of non-empty λ-open sets U and V in X with
and
there is a positive integer n such that
.
(2) A topological system
is λ-type chaotic if for every λ-open pair of not empty subsets
there are a periodic point
and
such that ![]()
Note that:
(1) Every λ-type transitive set is transitive set but not conversely.
(2) Every λ-type transitive map is transitive map but not conversely.
(3) The reason of the foregoing statements is that the map defined on the λ-transitive set is λ-transitive map. For more knowledge see [6] .
Definition 2.6 (1). Let
be a topological space,
be λ-irresolute map, then the set
is called topologically λ-mixing set if given any nonempty λ-open subsets
with
and
then
such that
for all ![]()
(2) A λ-closed set
is called a weakly λ-mixing set of
if for any choice of nonempty λ-open subsets
of A and nonempty λ-open subsets
of X with
and
there exists
n ∈ N such that
and ![]()
Proposition 2.7. If A is a weakly λ-mixing set of
, then A is a λ-type transitive set of
.
3. λ-Type Transitive Sets and Topological λr-Conjugacy
In the present section, I will introduce and define λ-type transitive sets. I will study some of their properties and prove some results associated with these new definitions. Some properties and characterizations of such sets are investigated.
A homeomorphism is a bijective continuous map with continuous inverse. More explicitly, to say that “a bijective mapping f of X onto Y is a homeomorphism” means that “
is open if and only if
is open”.
Definition 3.1. A function
is called λr-homeomorphism if f is λ-irresolute bijective and
is λ-irresolute. More explicitly, to say that “a bijective mapping f of X onto Y is λr-homeomor- phism” means that “
is λ-open if and only if
is λ-open”.
Definition 3.2. Two topological systems
,
and
,
are said to be topologically λr-conjugate if there is λr-homeomorphism
such that
I will call h a topological λr-conjugacy.
Then I have proved some of the following statements:
1) The maps f and g have the same kind of dynamics.
2)
is a topological λr-conjugacy.
3) ![]()
4) A set B is λ-mixing set if and only if
is λ-mixing set.
5) A set B is weakly λ-mixing set if and only if
is weakly λ-mixing set.
Proposition 3.3. If
are λr-conjugated by the λr-homeomorphism
then for all y ∈ Y the orbit
is λ-dense in Y if and only if the orbit
of h(y) is λ-dense in X.
Proof: Suppose that
are maps λr-conjugate via
such that
, then if for all y ∈ Y the orbit
is λ-dense in Y, let
be a nonempty λ-open set. Then since h is a λr-homeomorphism,
is λ-open in Y, so there exists
with
. From
it follows that
so that
is λ-dense in X. Similarly, if
is λ-dense in X, then
is λ-dense in Y.
If h is not λr-homeomorphism but only λ-irresolute surjection (a semi-λr-conjugacy), then the orbit
is λ-dense in Y implies the orbit
of h(y) is λ-dense in X, but not conversely.
Proposition 3.4. if
are λr-conjugate. Then,
(1) T is λ-type transitive subset of X
is λ-type transitive subset of Y;
(2) T is λ-mixing subset of X
is λ-mixing subset of Y.
Proof (1).
Assume that
are topological systems which are topologically λr-conjugated by
.Thus, h is λr-homeomorphism (that is, h is bijective and thus invertible and both h and
are λ-irresolute) and ![]()
Suppose T is λ-type transitive subset of X. Let A, B be λ-open subsets of Y with
and
(to show
for some
).
are λ-open subsets of X since h is an λ-irresolute.
Then there exists some n > 0 such that
since T is λ-type transitive subset of X, with
and
. Thus (as
implies
).
![]()
Therefore,
implies
since
is invertible. So h(T) is λ-type transitive subset of Y.
Proof (2).
We only prove that if T is topologically λ-mixing subset of Y then h−1(T) is also topologically λ-mixing subset of X. Let U, V be two λ-open subsets of X with
and
. We have to show that there is N > 0 such that for any n > N, ![]()
and
are two λ-open sets since h is λ-irresolute with
and
. If the set T is topologically λ-mixing then there is N > 0 such that for any n > M,
So
. That is
and
for
,
. Thus, since
, so that,
, and we have
that is
So, h−1(T) is λ-mixing set.
Proposition 3.5. Let
be a topological system and A be a nonempty λ-closed set of X. Then the following conditions are equivalent.
1) A is a λ-transitive set of
.
2) Let V be a nonempty λ-open subset of A and U be a nonempty λ-open subset of X with
. Then there exists
such that
.
3) Let U be a nonempty λ-open set of X with
. Then
is λ-dense in A.
Note that for any
,
; the nth inverse image of A.
Theorem 3.6. Let
be topological system and A be a nonempty λ-closed invariant set of X. Then A is a λ-type transitive set of
if and only if
is λ-type transitive system.
Proof:
Þ) Let
be two nonempty λ-open subsets of A. For a nonempty λ-open subset
of A, there exists a λ-open set U of X such that
. Since A is a λ-type transitive set of
, there exists n ∈
N such that
Moreover, A is invariant, i.e.,
, which implies that
Therefore,
, i.e.
. This shows that
is λ-type transitive system.
Ü) Let
be a nonempty λ-open set of A and U be a nonempty λ-open set of X with
Since U is a λ-open set of X and
, it follows that U ∩ A is a nonempty λ-open set of A. Since
is topologically λ-type transitive system, there exists n ∈ N such that
which implies that
. This shows that A is a λ-type transitive set of
.
