Continuum-wise expansive diffeomorphisms

There Are No Stable Points for Continuum-Wise Expansive Homeomorphisms

Chaotic continua of (continuum-wise) expansive homeomorphisms and chaos in the sense of Li and Yorke

A homeomorphism f : X → X of a compactum X is expansive (resp. continuum-wise expansive) if there is c > 0 such that if x, y ∈ X and x 6= y (resp. if A is a nondegenerate subcontinuum of X), then there is n ∈ Z such that d(f(x), f(y)) > c (resp. diam f(A) > c). We prove the following theorem: If f is a continuum-wise expansive homeomorphism of a compactum X and the covering dimension of X is po...

Circle Diffeomorphisms: Quasi-reducibility and Commuting Diffeomorphisms

In this article, we show two related results on circle diffeomorphisms. The first result is on quasi-reducibility: for a Baire-dense set of α, for any diffeomorphism f of rotation number α, it is possible to accumulate Rα with a sequence hn f h−1 n , hn being a diffeomorphism. The second result is: for a Baire-dense set of α, given two commuting diffeomorphisms f and g, such that f has α for ro...

On indecomposability and composants of chaotic continua

A homeomorphism f : X → X of a compactum X with metric d is expansive if there is c > 0 such that if x, y ∈ X and x 6= y, then there is an integer n ∈ Z such that d(fn(x), fn(y)) > c. A homeomorphism f : X → X is continuum-wise expansive if there is c > 0 such that if A is a nondegenerate subcontinuum of X, then there is an integer n ∈ Z such that diam fn(A) > c. Clearly, every expansive homeom...

Simplicial diffeomorphisms

In this paper we will present a theory for simplicial diffeomorphims, that is, diffeomorphims that preserve the incidence relations of a simplicial complex. Simplicial diffeomorphisms can be regarded as curvilinear barycentric coordinates. Using the combination of piecewise linear functions on complexes with simplicial diffeomorphisms, we also propose a new representation of curves and surfaces...
