Abstract
We study Li--Yorke and mean Li--Yorke chaos for weighted composition operators $C_{w,\varphi}$ on Banach spaces of analytic functions on the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$. Under natural conditions on the space, we show that $C_{w,\varphi}$ is (densely) Li--Yorke chaotic if and only if it is not power-bounded, and (densely) mean Li--Yorke chaotic if and only if it is not absolutely Cesàro bounded. These results are applied to Hardy spaces $H^p(\mathbb{D})$, $1 \le p \le \infty$, and weighted Bergman spaces $A^2_β(\mathbb{D})$, $-1 < β< \infty$.
