On the Dynamics of Induced Maps on the Space of Probability Measures
For the generic continuous map and for the generic homeomorphism of the
Cantor space, we study the dynamics of the induced map on the space of
probability measures, with emphasis on the notions of Li-Yorke chaos,
topological entropy, equicontinuity, chain continuity, chain mixing, shadowing
and recurrence. We also establish some results concerning induced maps that
hold on arbitrary compact metric spaces.Comment: 23 page
A note on the continuity of multilinear mappings in topological modules
In the present note, we obtain a criterion for the equicontinuity of families of multilinear mappings between topological modules. We also give an example which shows that the hypothesis imposed on the neighborhoods of zero is essential for the validity of our theorem
Time Spent in Home Care Tasks Related to Ownership and Uses of Home Care Equipment
The data for this research were taken from Utah\u27s contribution to the regional research project An Interstate Comparison of Urban/Rural Families\u27 Time Use. Data were collected between May 1977 and August 1978 from 210 two-parent/ two-child families.
This thesis research studied the relationship between ownership and use of nine selected household appliances and time spent on the related housekeeping tasks for 208 of the families studied. Statistical analysis was done using t-tests for comparisons of time spent on the related task by owners and non-owners of each appliance. Analysis of variance was used to compare time spent on combined activities with ownership of differing numbers of appliances . The relationship between frequency of use and time spent on tasks was measured us ing the Pearson Product Moment correlation.
The hypotheses tested were:
1. Ownership of home care equipment is not related to the amount of time spent in home care tasks.
2. Reported use of home care equipment is not related to the amount of time spent in home care tasks.
Hypothesis Number 1 was accepted for all relationships tested with the exception of the dishwasher and time spent in dishwashing and the sewing machine and time spent in construction of clothing and household linens. The results indicated that the homemakers who owned a dishwasher spent less time in dishwashing than did non-owners.
This was not true of the spouses, who spent very little time in dishwashing under either circumstance. The homemakers who owned a sewing machine spent considerably more time in construction of clothing and household linens than non-owners. When families were grouped by the number of appliances owned , no statistically significant relationships were found to exist between the number of appliances owned and the total time spent in home care tasks. Generally, those who owned many or few of the appliances spent more time in home care activities than did owners of four or five of the appliances.
Hypothesis Number 2 was rejected for the relationships between dishwasher use and spouse time spent in dishwashing, sewing machine use and homemaker time spent in construction of clothing and household linens and use of power yard equipment and time spent in maintenance of home, yard, car and pets. The number of times the dishwasher was reported to have been used was related to the amount of time spent in dishwashing by spouses although the time was very limited. The lime spent in clothing and household linen construction increased with the number of times the sewing machine was used. This relationship would have been expected. Those who used their power yard equipment more often spent more time in maintenance of home, yard, car and pets. This was true for both the borne makers and the spouses.
The assumed relationship between appliance ownership and use and time spent on home care activities was not found to exist for most appliances. The time savings potential of appliances had not been realized. The time spent on most tasks did not differ significantly between owners and non-owners, or by the reported number of times used
Pilot to Program: The full integration of PebblePad eportfolio learning into a Bachelor of Nursing course
ePortfolio e-learning has moved student learning from the didactic model to a student-led focus. The integration of PebblePad eportfolio learning has allowed students to take ownership of their learning in units where PebblePad is integrated, and what is evident is that students want ownership of all their learning and achievements throughout their nurse education
Expansivity and Shadowing in Linear Dynamics
In the early 1970's Eisenberg and Hedlund investigated relationships between
expansivity and spectrum of operators on Banach spaces. In this paper we
establish relationships between notions of expansivity and hypercyclicity,
supercyclicity, Li-Yorke chaos and shadowing. In the case that the Banach space
is or (), we give complete characterizations
of weighted shifts which satisfy various notions of expansivity. We also
establish new relationships between notions of expansivity and spectrum.
Moreover, we study various notions of shadowing for operators on Banach spaces.
In particular, we solve a basic problem in linear dynamics by proving the
existence of nonhyperbolic invertible operators with the shadowing property.
This also contrasts with the expected results for nonlinear dynamics on compact
manifolds, illuminating the richness of dynamics of infinite dimensional linear
operators

A generalized Grobman-Hartman theorem
We prove that any generalized hyperbolic operator on any Banach space is
structurally stable. As a consequence, we obtain a generalization of the
classical Grobman-Hartman theorem.Comment: 9 page
On the existence of polynomials with chaotic behaviour
We establish a general result on the existence of hypercyclic (resp., transitive, weakly mixing, mixing, frequently hypercyclic) polynomials on locally convex spaces. As a consequence we prove that every (real or complex) infinite-dimensional separable Frèchet space admits mixing (hence hypercyclic) polynomials of arbitrary positive degree. Moreover, every complex infinite-dimensional separable Banach space with an unconditional Schauder decomposition and every complex Frèchet space with an unconditional basis support chaotic and frequently hypercyclic polynomials of arbitrary positive degree. We also study distributional chaos for polynomials and show that every infinite-dimensional separable Banach space supports polynomials of arbitrary positive degree that have a dense distributionally scrambled linear manifold. © 2013 Nilson C.

Graph Theoretic Structure of Maps of the Cantor Space
In this paper we develop unifying graph theoretic techniques to study the
dynamics and the structure of the space of homeomorphisms and the space of
self-maps of the Cantor space. Using our methods, we give characterizations
which determine when two homeomorphisms of the Cantor space are conjugate to
each other. We also give a new characterization of the comeager conjugacy class
of the space of homeomorphisms of the Cantor space. The existence of this class
was established by Kechris and Rosendal and a specific element of this class
was described concretely by Akin, Glasner and Weiss. Our characterization
readily implies many old and new dynamical properties of elements of this
class. For example, we show that no element of this class has a Li-Yorke pair,
implying the well known Glasner-Weiss result that there is a comeager subset of
homeomorphism space of the Cantor space each element of which has topological
entropy zero. Our analogous investigation in the space of continuous self-maps
of the Cantor space yields a surprising result: there is a comeager subset of
the space of self-maps of the Cantor space such that any two elements of this
set are conjugate to each other by an homeomorphism. Our description of this
class also yields many old and new results concerning dynamics of a comeager
subset of the space of continuous self-maps of the Cantor space.Comment: 26 page
