- The shift map and chaotic dynamical systems
- Symbolic dynamics and subshifts of finite type.
Knowledge:
By the end of the course the student is expected to have:
- In depth knowledge of fundamental results and methods in discrete dynamical systems.
- Knowledge of the concrete dynamical systems presented in during the course.
- Understanding of the many and diverse appearances and
applications of discrete dynamical systems.
Skills:
By the end of the course the student is expected to be able
to
- Analyze and qualified argue for results on discrete dynamical systems.
- Produce proofs for theorems in line with those appearing in the course.
- Solve exercises posed during the course.
Competencies:
By the end of the course the student is expected to be able
to
- Follow and reproduce arguments and applications of abstract notions and concepts from discrete dynamical systems.
- Produce proofs of simple results at the level of the course.
- Use the introduced abstract concepts on concrete problems.
- Discuss topics from discrete dynamical systems.
- Explain how discrete dynamical systems and results about dynamical systems enter in various applications.
