The purpose of the present work is to treat a new notion related to linear dynamics, which can be viewed as a “localization” of the notion of hypercyclicity. In particular, let T be a bounded linear operator acting on a Banach space X and let x be a non-zero vector in X such that for every open neighborhood U ⊂ X of x and every non-empty open set V ⊂ X there exists a positive integer n such tha...

We study the frequency of hypercyclicity of hypercyclic, non–weakly mixing linear operators. In particular, we show that on the space `(N), any sublinear frequency can be realized by a non–weakly mixing operator. A weaker but similar result is obtained for c0(N) or `(N), 1 < p <∞. Part of our results is related to some Sidon-type lacunarity properties for sequences of natural numbers.

A continuous operator acting on a topological vector space X is called hypercyclic provided there exists a vector x ∈ X such that its orbit {T nx; n ≥ 1} is dense in X. Such a vector is called a hypercyclic vector for T . The set of hypercyclic vectors will be denoted by HC(T ). The first example of hypercyclic operator was given by Birkhoff, 1929 [3], who shows that the operator of translation...

For the last decade there has been a generalized trend in mathematics on the search for large algebraic structures (linear spaces, closed subspaces, or infinitely generated algebras) composed of mathematical objects enjoying certain special properties. This trend has caught the eye of many researchers and has also had a remarkable influence in real and complex analysis, operator theory, summabi...
