For a continuous function $f : [0,1] \to [0,1]$ we define a splitting sequence admitted by $f$ and show that the inverse limit of $f$ is an arc if and only if $f$ does not admit a splitting sequence.
In this paper we show that the group of automorphisms of a non-recurrent tent map inverse limit is very simple by demonstrating that every homeomorphism of such a space is isotopic to a power of the induced shift homeomorphism.
We prove that every self-homeomorphism $h : K_s \to K_s$ on the inverse limit space $K_s$ of the tent map $T_s$ with slope $s \in (\sqrt 2, 2]$ has topological entropy $\htop(h) = |R| \log s$, where $R \in \Z$ is such that $h$ and $σ^R$ are isotopic. Conclusions on the possible values of the entropy of homeomorphisms of the inverse limit space of a (renormalizable) quadratic map are drawn as well.
We prove that every self-homeomorphism on the inverse limit space of a quadratic map is isotopic to some power of the shift map.
In this paper we study the family of the Lozi maps $L_{a,b} : {\mathbb R}^2 \to {\mathbb R}^2$, $L_{a,b} = (1 + y - a|x|, bx)$, and their strange attractors $Λ_{a,b}$. We introduce the set of kneading sequences for the Lozi map and prove that it determines the symbolic dynamics for that map. We also introduce two other equivalent approaches.
We study the structure of inverse limit space of so-called Fibonacci-like tent maps. The combinatorial constraints implied by the Fibonacci-like assumption allow us to introduce certain chains that enable a more detailed analysis of symmetric arcs within this space than is possible in the general case. We show that link-symmetric arcs are always symmetric or a well-understood concatenation of quasi-symmetric arcs. This leads to the proof of the Ingram Conjecture for cores of Fibonacci-like unimodal inverse limits.
We prove that every self-homeomorphism $h : K_s \to K_s$ on the inverse limit space $K_s$ of tent map $T_s$ with slope $s \in (\sqrt 2, 2]$ is isotopic to a power of the shift-homeomorphism $σ^R : K_s \to K_s$.
