The well-known Conley's theorem states that the complement of chain recurrent set equals the union of all connecting orbits of the flow $ϕ$ on the compact metric space $X$, i.e. $X-\mathcal{CR}(ϕ)=\bigcup [B(A)-A]$, where $\mathcal{CR}(ϕ)$ denotes the chain recurrent set of $ϕ$, $A$ stands for an attractor and $B(A)$ is the basin determined by $A$. In this paper we show that by appropriately selecting the definition of random attractor, in fact we define a random local attractor to be the $ω$-limit set of some random pre-attractor surrounding it, and by considering appropriate measurability, in fact we also consider the universal $σ$-algebra $\mathcal F^u$-measurability besides $\mathcal F$-measurability, we are able to obtain the random case of Conley's theorem.
In this paper, we generalize Conley's fundamental theorem of dynamical systems in Conley index theory. We also conclude the existence of regular index filtration for every Morse decomposition.
A theorem is established where the computation of the discrete Conley index for zero dimensional basic sets is given with respect to the dynamical information contained in the associated structure matrices. A classification of the reduced homology Conley index of a zero dimensional basic set in terms of its Jordan real form is presented.
Let $ϕ:X\times\mathbb{R} \rightarrow X$ be a continuous flow on a compact metric space $(X,d)$. In this article we constructively prove the existence of a continuous Lyapunov function for $ϕ$ which is strictly decreasing outside $\mathcal{SCR}_d(ϕ)$. Such a result generalizes Conley's Fundamental Theorem of Dynamical Systems for the strong chain recurrent set.
Conley index theory is a very powerful tool in the study of dynamical systems, differential equations and bifurcation theory. In this paper, we make an attempt to generalize the Conley index to discrete random dynamical systems. And we mainly follow the Conley index for maps given by Franks and Richeson in [6]. Furthermore, we simply discuss the relations of isolated invariant sets between time-continuous random dynamical systems and the corresponding time-$h$ maps. For applications we give several examples to illustrate our results.
In the first part of this paper, we generalize the results of the author \cite{Liu,Liu2} from the random flow case to the random semiflow case, i.e. we obtain Conley decomposition theorem for infinite dimensional random dynamical systems. In the second part, by introducing the backward orbit for random semiflow, we are able to decompose invariant random compact set (e.g. global random attractor) into random Morse sets and connecting orbits between them, which generalizes the Morse decomposition of invariant sets originated from Conley \cite{Con} to the random semiflow setting and gives the pos…
Conley in \cite{Con} constructed a complete Lyapunov function for a flow on compact metric space which is constant on orbits in the chain recurrent set and is strictly decreasing on orbits outside the chain recurrent set. This indicates that the dynamical complexity focuses on the chain recurrent set and the dynamical behavior outside the chain recurrent set is quite simple. In this paper, a similar result is obtained for random dynamical systems under the assumption that the base space $(Ω,\mathcal F,\mathbb P)$ is a separable metric space endowed with a probability measure. By constructing a…

We establish versions of Conley's (i) fundamental theorem and (ii) decomposition theorem for a broad class of hybrid dynamical systems. The hybrid version of (i) asserts that a globally-defined "hybrid complete Lyapunov function" exists for every hybrid system in this class. Motivated by mechanics and control settings where physical or engineered events cause abrupt changes in a system's governing dynamics, our results apply to a large class of Lagrangian hybrid systems (with impacts) studied extensively in the robotics literature. Viewed formally, these results generalize those of Conley and …
A theorem on computation of the homological Conley index of an isolated invariant set of the Poincaré map associated to a section in a rotating local dynamical system $ϕ$ is proved. Let $(N,L)$ be an index pair for a discretization $ϕ^h$ of $ϕ$, where $h>0$, and let $S$ denote the invariant part of $N\setminus L$; it follows that the section $S_0$ of $S$ is an isolated invariant set of the Poincaré map. The theorem asserts that if the sections $N_0$ of $N$ and $L_0$ of $L$ are ANRs, the homology classes $[u_j]$ of some cycles $u_j$ form a basis of $H(N_0,L_0)$, and for some scalars $a_{ij}$, t…
Firstly, we wish to motivate that Conley pairs, realized via Salamon's definition [17], are rather useful building blocks in geometry: Initially we met Conley pairs in an attempt to construct Morse filtrations of free loop spaces [21]. From this fell off quite naturally, firstly, an alternative proof [20] of the cell attachment theorem in Morse theory [13] and, secondly, some ideas [12] how to try to organize the closures of the unstable manifolds of a Morse-Smale gradient flow as a CW decomposition of the underlying manifold. Relaxing non-degeneracy of critical points to isolatedness we use t…
It is known by the Conley's theorem that the chain recurrent set $CR(ϕ)$ of a deterministic flow $ϕ$ on a compact metric space is the complement of the union of sets $B(A)-A$, where $A$ varies over the collection of attractors and $B(A)$ is the basin of attraction of $A$. It has recently been shown that a similar decomposition result holds for random dynamical systems on noncompact separable complete metric spaces, but under a so-called \emph{absorbing condition}. In the present paper, the authors introduce a notion of random chain recurrent sets for random dynamical systems, and then prove th…
Some properties of random Conley index are obtained and then a sufficient condition for the existence of abstract bifurcation points for both discrete-time and continuous-time random dynamical systems is presented. This stochastic bifurcation phenomenon is demonstrated by a few examples.
In the present paper, we consider random invariant densities and the mean ergodic theorem for Markov operator cocycles which are applicable to quenched type random dynamical systems. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of random invariant densities for Markov operator cocycles and establish the mean ergodic theorem for generalized linear operator cocycles over a weakly sequentially complete Banach space. The advantage of the result is that we show the implication of weak precompactness for almost every environment to strong convergence in the global sense.
This is an earlier, but more general, version of "An L^1 Ergodic Theorem for Sparse Random Subsequences". We prove an L^1 ergodic theorem for averages defined by independent random selector variables, in a setting of general measure-preserving group actions. A far more readable version of this paper is in the works.
We extend the recent spectral approach for quenched limit theorems developed for piecewise expanding dynamics under general random driving [DrFrGTVa18] to quenched random piecewise hyperbolic dynamics including some classes of billiards. For general ergodic sequences of maps in a neighbourhood of a hyperbolic map we prove a quenched large deviations principle (LDP), central limit theorem (CLT), and local central limit theorem (LCLT).
We establish self-norming central limit theorems for non-stationary time series arising as observations on sequential maps possessing an indifferent fixed point. These transformations are obtained by perturbing the slope in the Pomeau-Manneville map. We also obtain quenched central limit theorems for random compositions of these maps.
We study limit theorems in the context of random perturbations of dispersing billiards in finite and infinite measure. In the context of a planar periodic Lorentz gas with finite horizon, we consider random perturbations in the form of movements and deformations of scatterers. We prove a Central Limit Theorem for the cell index of planar motion, as well as a mixing Local Limit Theorem for the cell index with piecewise Hölder continuous observables. In the context of the infinite measure random system, we prove limit theorems regarding visits to new obstacles and self-intersections, as well as …
We study a random dynamical system such that one transformation is randomly selected from a family of transformations and then applied on each iteration. For such random dynamical systems, we consider estimates of absolutely continuous invariant measures. Since the random dynamical systems are made by complicated compositions of many deterministic maps and probability density functions, it is difficult to estimate the invariant measures. To get rid of this difficulty, we present fundamental comparison theorems which make easier the estimates of invariant measures of random maps. We also demons…
In this paper, we investigate annealed and quenched limit theorems for random expanding dynamical systems. Making use of functional analytic techniques and more probabilistic arguments with martingales, we prove annealed versions of a central limit theorem, a large deviation principle, a local limit theorem, and an almost sure invariance principle. We also discuss the quenched central limit theorem, dynamical Borel-Cantelli lemmas, Erdös-Rényi laws and concentration inequalities.
The central limit theorem for Markov chains generated by iterated function systems consisting of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the interval is proved. We study also ergodicity of such systems.
For linear random dynamical systems in a separable Banach space $X$, we derived a series of Krein-Rutman type Theorems with respect to co-invariant cone family with rank-$k$, which present a (quasi)-equivalence relation between the measurably co-invariant cone family and the measurably dominated splitting of $X$. Moreover, such (quasi)-equivalence relation turns out to be an equivalence relation whenever (i) $k=1$; or (ii) in the frame of the Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem with certain Lyapunov exponent being greater than the negative infinity. For the second case, we thoroughly investigated t…
The Lyapunov spectra of random U(1) extensions of expanding maps on the torus were investigated in our previous work [NW2015]. Using the result, we extend the recent spectral approach for quenched limit theorems for expanding maps [DFGV2018] and hyperbolic maps [DFGV2019] to our partially hyperbolic dynamics. Quenched central limit theorems, large deviations principles and local central limit theorems for random U(1) extensions of expanding maps on the torus are proved via corresponding theorems for abstract random dynamical systems.
We prove the annealed Central Limit Theorem for random walks in bistochastic random environments on $Z^d$ with zero local drift. The proof is based on a "dynamicist's interpretation" of the system, and requires a much weaker condition than the customary uniform ellipticity. Moreover, recurrence is derived for $d \le 2$.
We introduce a new, elementary method for studying random differences in arithmetic progressions and convergence phenomena along random sequences of integers. We apply our method to obtain significant improvements on previously known results.
We employ an extension of ergodic theory to the random setting to investigate the existence of random periodic solutions of random dynamical systems. Given that a random dynamical system has a dissipative structure, we proved that a random invariant compact set can be expressed as a union of finite of number of random periodic curves. The idea in this paper is closely related to the work recently considered by Zhao and Zheng [46].
We prove a Berry-Esseen theorem, a local central limit theorem and (local) large and (global) moderate deviations principles for i.i.d. (uniformly) random non-uniformly expanding or hyperbolic maps with exponential first return times. Using existing results the problem is reduced to certain random (Young) tower extensions, which is the main focus of this paper. On the random towers we will obtain our results using contraction properties of random complex equivariant cones with respect to the complex Hilbert projective metric.
We prove the following version of the Furstenberg-Zimmer structure theorem for stationary actions: Any stationary action of a locally compact second-countable group is a weakly mixing extension of a measure-preserving distal system.
We propose a generalization of the Poincaré-Birkhoff Theorem on area-preserving twist maps to area-preserving twist maps that are random with respect to an ergodic probability measure. The classical theory is a particular instance of the random theory we propose.
In this paper we study random iterated function systems. Our main result gives sufficient conditions for an analogue of a well known theorem due to Khintchine from Diophantine approximation to hold almost surely for stochastically self-similar and self-affine random iterated function systems.
