Escape Rates and Perron-frobenius Operators: Open and Closed Dynamical Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the Perron-Frobenius operator P of closed dynamical systems and certain open dynamical systems. We prove that the presence of a large positive eigenvalue ρ of P guarantees the existence of a 2-partition of the phase space for which the escape rates of the open systems defined on the two partition sets are both slower than − log ρ. The open systems with slow escape rates are easily identified from the Perron-Frobenius operators of the closed systems. Numerical results are presented for expanding maps of the unit interval. We also apply our technique to shifts of finite type to show that if the adjacency matrix for the shift has a large positive second eigenvalue, then the shift may be decomposed into two disjoint subshifts, both of which have high topological entropies.

Invariant Densities and Escape Rates: Rigorous and Computable Approximations in the L∞-norm
In this article we study a piecewise linear discretization schemes for transfer operators (Perron-Frobenius operators) associated with interval maps. We show how these can be used to provide rigorous pointwise approximations for invariant densities of Markov interval maps. We also derive the order of convergence of the approximate invariant density to the real one in the L∞-norm. The outcome of...
متن کاملMetastability, Lyapunov Exponents, Escape Rates, and Topological Entropy in Random Dynamical Systems
We explore the concept of metastability in random dynamical systems, focusing on connections between random Perron–Frobenius operator cocycles and escape rates of random maps, and on topological entropy of random shifts of finite type. The Lyapunov spectrum of the random Perron–Frobenius cocycle and the random adjacency matrix cocycle is used to decompose the random system into two disjoint ran...
متن کاملCompact weighted Frobenius-Perron operators and their spectra
In this note we characterize the compact weighted Frobenius-Perron operator $p$ on $L^1(Sigma)$ and determine their spectra. We also show that every weakly compact weighted Frobenius-Perron operator on $L^1(Sigma)$ is compact.
