On multi-transitivity with respect to a vector

A topological dynamical system $(X,f)$ is said to be multi-transitive if for every $n\in\mathbb{N}$ the system $(X^{n}, f\times f^{2}\times \dotsb\times f^{n})$ is transitive. We introduce the concept of multi-transitivity with respect to a vector and show that multi-transitivity can be characterized by the hitting time sets of open sets, answering a question proposed by Kwietniak and Oprocha [On weak mixing, minimality and weak disjointness of all iterates, Erg. Th. Dynam. Syst., 32 (2012), 1661--1672]. We also show that multi-transitive systems are Li-Yorke chaotic.Comment: 11 page

Existence of translating solutions to the flow by powers of mean curvature on unbounded domains

In this paper, we prove the existence of classical solutions of the Dirichlet problem for a class of quasi-linear elliptic equations on unbounded domains like a cone or a U-type domain. This problem comes from the study of mean curvature flow and its generalization, the flow by powers of mean curvature. Our approach is a modified version of the classical Perron method, where the solutions to the minimal surface equation are used as sub-solutions and a family auxiliary functions are constructed as super-solutions.Comment: 30 page
