Equilibrium States and SRB-like measures of C1 Expanding Maps of the Circle

For any C1 expanding map f of the circle we study the equilibrium states for the potential -log |f'|. We formulate a C1 generalization of Pesin's Entropy Formula that holds for all the SRB measures if they exist, and for all the (necessarily existing) SRB-like measures. In the C1-generic case Pesin's Entropy Formula holds for a unique SRB measure which is not absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue. The result also stands in the non generic case for which no SRB measure exists.

SRB-like measures for C0 dynamics

For any continuous map f on a compact manifold M, we define the SRB-like (or observable) probabilities as a generalization of Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen (i.e. physical) measures. We prove that f has observable measures, even if SRB measures do not exist. We prove that the definition of observability is optimal, provided that the purpose of the researcher is to describe the asymptotic statistics for Lebesgue almost every initial state. Precisely, the never empty set O of all the observable measures, is the minimal weak*-compact set of Borel probabilities in M that contains the limits (in the weak* topology) of all the convergent subsequences of the empiric probabilities for Lebesgue almost all x in M. We prove that any isolated measure in O is SRB. Finally we conclude that if O is finite or countable infinite, then there exist (up to countable many) SRB measures such that the union of their basins cover M Lebesgue a.e.

Deterministic Dynamics and Chaos: Epistemology and Interdisciplinary Methodology

We analyze, from a theoretical viewpoint, the bidirectional interdisciplinary relation between mathematics and psychology, focused on the mathematical theory of deterministic dynamical systems, and in particular, on the theory of chaos. On one hand, there is the direct classic relation: the application of mathematics to psychology. On the other hand, we propose the converse relation which consists in the formulation of new abstract mathematical problems appearing from processes and structures under research of psychology. The bidirectional multidisciplinary relation from-to pure mathematics, largely holds with the "hard" sciences, typically physics and astronomy. But it is rather new, from the social and human sciences, towards pure mathematics.

Markov partitions for Anosov diffeomorphisms. (Particiones de Markov para difeomorfismos de Anosov.) (Spanish)

This monographic short book is intended to a brief introduction in the classic topic of the theory of Hiperbolic Dynamical Systems, for Spanish speaking students of an undergraduate course in Mathematics. We revisit the classic definition of Markov Partitions for Anosov diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds. We focus on the theorem of Sinai (Func. Anal. and its Applic. 2, 1968) stsating the existence of such partitions with arbitrarily small diameter. To prove the theorem of Sinai we restate the constructive method in Bowen, Lecture Notes in Math. 470, 1975. Finally we also relate the results, the method of their proofs and the properties of the invariant submanifolds, with the semiconjugation of the Anosov diffeomorphism with a Bernoulli shift, via the symbolic dynamics.

Chaos and stability in a model of inhibitory neuronal network

We analyze the dynamics of a deterministic model of inhibitory neuronal networks proving that the discontinuities of the Poincare map produce a never empty chaotic set, while its continuity pieces produce stable orbits. We classify the systems in three types: the almost everywhere (a.e.) chaotic, the a.e. stable, and the combined systems. The a.e. stable are periodic and chaos appears as bifurcations. We prove that a.e. stable systems exhibit limit cycles, attracting a.e. the orbits.

Topological dynamics of generic piecewise continuous contractive maps in n dimensions

We study the topological dynamics by iterations of a piecewise continuous, non linear and locally contractive map in a real finite dimensional compact ball. We consider those maps satisfying the "separation property": different continuity pieces have disjoint images. The continuity pieces act as stable topological manifolds while the points in the discontinuity lines, separating different continuity pieces, act as topological saddles with an infinite expanding rate. We prove that C0 generically such systems exhibit one and at most a finite number of persistent periodic sinks attracting all the orbits. In other words, the chaotic behaviors that this class of mappings may exhibit, are structurally unstable and bifurcating.

Simultaneous Continuation of Infinitely Many Sinks Near a Quadratic Homoclinic Tangency

We prove that the $C^3$ diffeomorphisms on surfaces, exhibiting infinitely many sinksnear the generic unfolding of a quadratic homoclinic tangency of a dissipative saddle, can be perturbed along an infinite dimensional manifold of $C^3$ diffeomorphisms such that infinitely many sinks persist simultaneously. On the other hand, if they are perturbed along one-parameter families that unfold generically the quadratic tangencies, then at most a finite number of those sinks have continuation.
