Distributional chaos for linear operators

We characterize distributional chaos for linear operators on Fréchet spaces in terms of a computable condition (DCC), and also as the existence of distributionally irregular vectors. A sufficient condition for the existence of dense uniformly distributionally irregular manifolds is presented, which is very general and can be applied to many classes of operators. Distributional chaos is also analyzed in connection with frequent hypercyclicity, and the particular cases of weighted shifts and composition operators are given as an illustration of the previous results. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.The fourth author was supported in part by MEC and FEDER, Project MTM2010-14909.Bernardes, NC.; Bonilla, A.; Müller, V.; Peris Manguillot, A.

Chaos for endomorphisms of completely metrizable groups and linear operators on Fr\'echet spaces

Using the techniques in topological dynamics, we give a uniform treatment of Li-Yorke chaos, mean Li-Yorke chaos and distributional chaos for continuous endomorphisms of completely metrizable groups, and characterize three kinds of chaos (resp. extreme chaos) in term of the existence of corresponding semi-irregular points (resp. irregular points). We also apply the results to the chaos theory of continuous linear operators on Fr\'echet spaces, which improve some results in the literature.Comment: 50 page

Dynamics of weighted composition operators on function spaces defined by local properties

We study topological transitivity/hypercyclicity and topological (weak) mixing for weighted composition operators on locally convex spaces of scalar-valued functions which are defined by local properties. As main application of our general approach we characterize these dynamical properties for weighted composition operators on spaces of ultradifferentiable functions, both of Beurling and Roumieu type, and on spaces of zero solutions of elliptic partial differential equations. Special attention is given to eigenspaces of the Laplace operator and the Cauchy-Riemann operator, respectively. Moreover, we show that our abstract approach unifies existing results which characterize hypercyclicity, resp. topological mixing, of (weighted) composition operators on the space of holomorphic functions on a simply connected domain in the complex plane, on the space of smooth functions on an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$, as well as results characterizing topological transitiviy of such operators on the space of real analytic functions on an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$.Comment: 35 pages; some minor changes, accepted for publication in Studia Mathematic

Distributional chaos for backward shifts

AbstractWe provide sufficient conditions which give uniform distributional chaos for backward shift operators. We also compare distributional chaos with other well-studied notions of chaos for linear operators, like Devaney chaos and hypercyclicity, and show that Devaney chaos implies uniform distributional chaos for weighted backward shifts, but there are examples of backward shifts which are uniformly distributionally chaotic and not hypercyclic

On the continuous Cesàro operator in certain function spaces

“The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11117-014-0321-5"Various properties of the (continuous) Cesàro operator C, acting on Banach and Fréchet spaces of continuous functions and L p-spaces, are investigated. For instance, the spectrum and point spectrum of C are completely determined and a study of certain dynamics of C is undertaken (eg. hyper- and supercyclicity, chaotic behaviour). In addition, the mean (and uniform mean) ergodic nature of C acting in the various spaces is identified.The research of the first two authors was partially supported by the projects MTM2010-15200 and GVA Prometeo II/2013/013 (Spain).

Existence of common and upper frequently hypercyclic subspaces

We provide criteria for the existence of upper frequently hypercyclic subspaces and for common hypercyclic subspaces, which include the following consequences. There exist frequently hypercyclic operators with upper-frequently hypercyclic subspaces and no frequently hypercyclic subspace. On the space of entire functions, each differentiation operator induced by a non-constant polynomial supports an upper frequently hypercyclic subspace, and the family of its non-zero scalar multiples has a common hypercyclic subspace. A question of Costakis and Sambarino on the existence of a common hypercyclic subspace for a certain uncountable family of weighted shift operators is also answered.Comment: 30 page

Dynamics, Operator Theory, and Infinite Holomorphy

The works on linear dynamics in the last two decades show that many, even quite natural, linear dynamical systems exhibit wild behaviour. Linear chaos and hypercyclicity have been at the crossroads of several areas of mathematics. More recently, fascinating new connections have started to be explored: operators on spaces of analytic functions, semigroups and applications to partial differential equations, complex dynamics, and ergodic theory. Related aspects of functional analysis are the study of linear operators on Banach spaces by using geometric, topological, and algebraic techniques, the works on the geometry of Banach spaces and Banach algebras, and the study of the geometry of a Banach space via the behaviour of some of its operators. In recent years some aspects of the theory of infinite-dimensional complex analysis have attracted the attention of several researchers. One is in the general field of Banach and Fréchet algebras and Banach spaces of polynomial and holomorphic functions. Another is in a deep connection with the theory of one and several complex variables as Dirichlet series in one variable, Bohr radii in several variables, Bohnenblust-Hille constants, Sidon constants, domains of convergence, and so forth. This special issue shows some new advances in the topics shortly described above
