Let $f_{0,\infty}=\{f_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of continuous self-maps on a compact metric space $X$. The non-autonomous dynamical system $(X,f_{0,\infty})$ induces the set-valued system $(\mathcal{K}(X), \bar{f}_{0,\infty})$ and the fuzzified system $(\mathcal{F}(X),\tilde{f}_{0,\infty})$. We prove that under some natural conditions, positive topological entropy of $(X,f_{0,\infty})$ implies infinite entropy of $(\mathcal{K}(X),\bar{f}_{0,\infty})$ and $(\mathcal{F}(X),\tilde{f}_{0,\infty})$, respectively; and zero entropy of $(S^1,f_{0,\infty})$ implies zero entropy of some invariant subsystems of $(\mathcal{K}(S^1),\bar{f}_{0,\infty})$ and $(\mathcal{F}(S^1),\tilde{f}_{0,\infty})$, respectively. We confirm that $(\mathcal{K}(I), \bar{f})$ and $(\mathcal{F}(I), \tilde{f})$ have infinite entropy for any transitive interval map $f$. In contrast, we construct a transitive non-autonomous system $(I, f_{0,\infty})$ such that both $(\mathcal{K}(I), \bar{f}_{0,\infty})$ and $(\mathcal{F}(I), \tilde{f}_{0,\infty})$ have zero entropy. We obtain that $(\mathcal{K}(X),\bar{f}_{0,\infty})$ is chain weakly mixing of all orders if and only if $(\mathcal{F}^1(X),\tilde{f}_{0,\infty})$ is so, and chain mixing (resp. $h$-shadowing and multi-$\mathscr{F}$-sensitivity) among $(X,f_{0,\infty})$, $(\mathcal{K}(X),\bar{f}_{0,\infty})$ and $(\mathcal{F}^1(X),\tilde{f}_{0,\infty})$ are equivalent, where $(\mathcal{F}^1(X),\tilde{f}_{0,\infty})$ is the induced normal fuzzification.
In this paper we extend the definitions of mean dimension and metric mean di-mension for non-autonomous dynamical systems. We show some properties of this extension and furthermore some applications to the mean dimension and metric mean dimension of single continuous maps.
This paper establishes topological (equi-)semiconjugacy and (equi-)conjugacy between induced non-autonomous set-valued systems and subshifts of finite type. First, some necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a non-autonomous discrete system to be topologically semiconjugate or conjugate to a subshift of finite type. Further, several sufficient conditions for it to be topologically equi-semiconjugate or equi-conjugate to a subshift of finite type are obtained. Consequently, estimations of topological entropy and several criteria of Li-Yorke chaos and distributional chaos in a sequenc…
We consider the non autonomous dynamical system $\{τ_{n}\},$ where $τ_{n}$ is a continuous map $X\rightarrow X,$ and $X$ is a compact metric space. We assume that $\{τ_{n}\}$ converges uniformly to $τ.$ The inheritance of chaotic properties as well as topological entropy by $τ$ from the sequence $\{τ_{n}\}$ has been studied in \cite{Can1, Can2, Li,Ste,Zhu}. In \cite{You} the generalization of SRB\ measures to non-autonomous systems has been considered. In this paper we study absolutely continuous invariant measures (acim) for non autonomous systems. After generalizing the Krylov-Bogoliubov The…
In this paper, we study continuum-wise expansive non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems. We discuss various properties of such non-autonomous systems. We further obtain results for cw-expansive non-autonomous systems with shadowing property and obtain an important equivalence. \keywords{Non-autonomous dynamical systems, continuum-wise expansive, shadowing property
Ovadia and Rodriguez-Hertz (Neutralized local entropy, arXiv:2302.10874) defined the neutralized Bowen open ball for an autonomous dynamical system on a compact metric space. Replacing the usual Bowen open ball with neutralized Bowen open ball, we introduce the notions of neutralized Bowen topological entropy of subsets, neutralized weighted Bowen topological entropy of subsets, lower neutralized Brin-Katok's local entropy of Borel probability measures, and neutralized Katok's entropy of Borel probability measures for a non-autonomous dynamical system on a compact metric space. Then, we establ…
This paper shows that (1) there exists a topologically transitive NADS having two disjoint invariant periodic orbits with dense periodic points, which is finitely generated but not periodic; (2) there exists a topologically transitive non-finitely generated NADS having two disjoint invariant periodic orbits with dense periodic point, which is not sensitive. This answers positively the Open Problems 4.1 and 4.2 posed in [8].
This paper discusses the variational principles on subsets for topological pressure and topological entropy of non-autonomous dynamical systems. We define the Pesin-Pitskel topological pressure (weighted topological pressure) and the Bowen topological entropy (weighted Bowen topological entropy) for any subset. Also, we define the measure-theoretic pressure and the measure-theoretic lower entropy for all Borel probability measures. Then, we prove variational principles for topological pressure (topological entropy) which links the Pesin-Pitskel topological pressure (weighted topological pressu…
This paper studies a control method for switching stable coexisting attractors of a class of non-autonomous dynamical systems. The central idea is to introduce a continuous path for the system's trajectory to transition from its original undesired stable attractor to a desired one by varying one of the system parameters according to the information of the desired attractor. The behaviour of the control is studied numerically for both non-smooth and smooth dynamical systems, using a sof-impact and a Duffing oscillator as examples. Special attention is given to identify the regions where the pro…
This article establishes the foundation for a new theory of invariant/integral manifolds for non-autonomous dynamical systems. Current rigorous support for dimensional reduction modelling of slow-fast systems is limited by the rare events in stochastic systems that may cause escape, and limited in many applications by the unbounded nature of PDE operators. To circumvent such limitations, we initiate developing a backward theory of invariant/integral manifolds that complements extant forward theory. Here, for deterministic non-autonomous ODE systems, we construct a conjugacy with a normal form …
We construct a ring of flows where we can decompose autonomous nonlinear dynamical systems into smaller parts, then solve each part and finally put everything together to obtain the exact solution of these systems.
We develop a general compactification framework to facilitate analysis of nonlinear nonautonomous ODEs where nonautonomous terms decay asymptotically. The strategy is to compactify the problem: the phase space is augmented with a bounded but open dimension and then extended at one or both ends by gluing in flow-invariant subspaces that carry autonomous dynamics of the limit systems from infinity. We derive the weakest decay conditions possible for the compactified system to be continuously differentiable on the extended phase space. This enables us to use equilibria and other compact invariant…
The auxiliary function method allows computation of extremal long-time averages of functions of dynamical variables in autonomous nonlinear ordinary differential equations via convex optimization. For dynamical systems defined by autonomous polynomial vector fields, it is operationally realized as a semidefinite program utilizing sum of squares technology. In this contribution we review the method and extend it for application to periodically driven non-autonomous nonlinear vector fields involving trigonometric functions of the dynamical variables. The damped driven Duffing oscillator and peri…
The proposed article is devoted to the study of the problem of constructing phase trajectories in the vicinity of a singular point. This paper presents a more expanded view of this problem in comparison with those previously considered by other authors and suggests a more meaningful and grounded development of this study. Numerous examples of the application of this approach to the study of trajectories at a singular point are given.
We present a toolbox for the continuation of two-dimensional tori in autonomous dynamical systems and non-autonomous systems with periodic forcing. A torus is solved as the solution to a boundary-value problem. Truncated Fourier series and collocation methods are used to discretize the boundary-value problem. This toolbox is based on the continuation package COCO (https://sourceforge.net/projects/cocotools/). A few examples are included to demonstrate the functionality of this toolbox.
This paper establishes some criteria of chaos in non-autonomous discrete systems. Several criteria of strong Li-Yorke chaos are given. Based on these results, some criteria of distributional chaos in a sequence are established. Moreover, several criteria of distributional chaos induced by coupled-expansion for an irreducible transition matrix are obtained. Some of these results not only extend the existing related results for autonomous discrete systems to non-autonomous discrete systems, but also relax the assumptions of the counterparts. One example is provided for illustration.
We study the ergodicity of non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems with non-uniform expansion. As an application we get that any uniformly expanding finitely generated semigroup action of $C^{1+α}$ local diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold is ergodic with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Moreover, we will also prove that every exact non-uniform expandable finitely generated semigroup action of conformal $C^{1+α}$ local diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold is Lebesgue ergodic.
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behaviors of the solutions of nonlinear dynamic systems nearby an equilibrium point, when the nominal parts are subject to non necessarily small perturbations. We show that, under some estimates on the perturbation terms, the equilibrium point remains (globally) uniformly exponentially stable. The results we obtained can easily be applied in practice since they are based on the Gronwall-Bellman inequalities rather than the classical Lyapunov methods that require the knowledge of a Lyapunov function. Several numerical examples are presented in order …
A tale of two vortices: how numerical ergodic theory and transfer operators reveal fundamental changes to coherent structures in non-autonomous dynamical systems
In this paper notions of strong specification property and quasi-weak specification property for non-autonomous discrete systems are introduced and studied. It is shown that these properties are dynamical properties and are preserved under finite product. It is proved that a k-periodic non-autonomous system on intervals having weak specification is Devaney chaotic whereas if the system has strong specification then the result is true in general. Specification properties of induced systems on hyperspaces and probability measures spaces are also studied. Examples/counter examples are provided wh…
