State of the art on: "If a dynamical system is Li-Yorke chaotic, does there exist a Cantor scrambled set?"

The following problem is presented in the paper Recent development of chaos theory in topological dynamics - by Jian Li and Xiangdong Ye : "If a dynamical system [$(X,f)$, $X$ metric space, $f$ ...

Group actions and "transfinite dynamics"

$\DeclareMathOperator\Sym{Sym}$I have a question about what I shall name here "transfinite dynamics" because it involves iterating a topological dynamical system $G \curvearrowright X$ ...

Is there a minimal, topologically mixing but not positively expansive dynamical system?

Is there a compact metric space $X$ and a function $f:X\to X$ such that the dynamical system $(X, f)$ has the following three properties? minimal topologically mixing (a map $f$ is topologically ...

Is there a topologically mixing and minimal homeomorphism on the circle (or on $\mathbb S^2$)?

The irrational rotation on the circle is both a homeomorphism and minimal but is not topologically mixing. The argument-doubling transformation on the circle is topologically mixing but is neither a ...

Approximation of topological dynamical systems?

I'm trying to find references to approximations of topological dynamical systems in the following sense: A topological dynamical system $(X, f)$ consists of a topological space (typically compact ...

Is there a universal $\omega$-limit set?

For the purposes of this question, a dynamical system means a compact metric space $X$ together with a continuous map $f: X \to X$. For $x \in X$, the $\omega$-limit set of $x$, denoted $\omega(x)$, ...
