Shadowing, chain transitive sets with nonempty interior and attractor boundaries

TL;DR
The paper develops a unified shadowing framework for $C^1$ dynamics to analyze chain transitive sets with nonempty interior and attractor boundaries. By establishing that shadowing, together with L-shadowing, forces strong topological constraints on invariant sets, it proves that such a set must be clopen and, in connected spaces, coincides with the entire space, yielding a mixing behavior. It also shows that attractor boundaries are chain stable under shadowing, linking local pseudo-orbit compatibility to global boundary structure. These results refine and extend known results on generic dynamics and attractor boundaries, providing a cohesive perspective via shadowing concepts. The work culminates with several corollaries and an appendix establishing a finiteness property for attractor-boundary components in locally connected spaces.
Abstract
We examine certain phenomena in $C^1$-dynamics from a viewpoint of shadowing and improve a known result on hyperbolic sets. We also review a result on the stability of attractor boundaries from the same viewpoint and derive several additional results.
