Shadowing in CR-Dynamical Systems
Andrew Wood
TL;DR
This work extends the shadowing paradigm to CR-dynamical systems by introducing $(i,j)$-shadowing, capturing how pseudo-orbits with a single or multiple successor options relate to actual trajectories. It establishes a unified framework linking metric and uniform formulations, invariance under conjugacy, and connections to Mahavier products and isometric dynamical systems, while yielding precise results for finite nondegenerate sets and diagonal-containing relations. The paper also provides deep links between shadowing on the original system, its Mahavier space, and inverse relations, including a landscape of counterexamples that separate the $(i,j)$-types. These contributions offer a robust foundation for further study of shadowing, inverse limits, and specification in CR-dynamical systems, with several open questions guiding future work.
Abstract
A CR-dynamical system is a pair $(X, G)$, where $X$ is a non-empty compact Hausdorff space with uniformity $\mathscr{U}$ and $G$ is a closed relation on $X$. In this paper we introduce the $(i, j)$-shadowing properties in CR-dynamical systems, which generalises the shadowing property from topological dynamical systems $(X, f)$. This extends previous work on shadowing in set-valued dynamical systems.
