Any continuous, transitive, piecewise monotonic map is determined up to a binary choice by its dimension module with the associated finite sequence of generators. The dimension module by itself determines the topological entropy of any transitive piecewise monotonic map, and determines any transitive unimodal map up to conjugacy. For a transitive piecewise monotonic map which is not essentially...

It is proved that no region of a homogeneous locally compact, locally connected metric space can be cut by an Fσ-subset of a “smaller” dimension. The result applies to different finite or infinite topological dimensions of metrizable spaces. The classical Hurewicz-Menger-Tumarkin theorem in dimension theory says that connected topological n-manifolds (with or without boundary) are Cantor manifo...

in addition to exploring constructions and properties of limits and colimits in categories of topologicalalgebras, we study special subcategories of topological algebras and their properties. in particular, undercertain conditions, reflective subcategories when paired with topological structures give rise to reflectivesubcategories and epireflective subcategories give rise to epireflective subc...

An extensive statistical survey of universal approximators shows that as the dimension of a typical dissipative dynamical system is increased, the number of positive Lyapunov exponents increases monotonically and the number of parameter windows with periodic behavior decreases. A subset of parameter space remains where noncatastrophic topological change induced by a small parameter variation be...

The dynamical stability conjectures of Palis and Smale, and Pugh and Shub are investigated from the stand-point of numerical observation, and a new stability conjecture is proposed. As the dimension of a dissipative dynamical system is increased, the number of positive Lyapunov exponents increases monotonically, the number of observable periodic windows decreases, and there is a subset of param...
