Finite Invariant Sets with Bridging Points in Logistic IFS

Abstract

We investigate iterated function systems (IFS) that randomly alternate between two non-identical one-dimensional maps as simple models of regime-switching dynamical systems. Our primary focus is on finite invariant sets exhibiting ``toss-and-catch'' dynamics, in which trajectories alternate between fixed points and periodic points of the constituent maps. Using two representative types of low-dimensional nonlinear systems--a pair of logistic maps and a combination of logistic and tent maps--we derive exact parameter conditions for several toss-and-catch structures. The comparison between these systems reveals two distinct mechanisms for finite invariant sets: one mediated by bridging points that connect invariant structures of different maps, and another generated by nontrivial intersections shared by the maps themselves. Notably, we identify invariant sets containing bridging points that are not periodic points of either constituent map. These results demonstrate that switching between simple nonlinear maps can generate invariant structures that do not exist in the constituent systems alone, suggesting a more general mechanism for the emergence of invariant structures in random dynamical systems.

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
