Abstract:

When does a continuous map have chaotic dynamics in a set $Q$? More specifically, when does it factor over a shift on $M$ symbols? This paper is an attempt to clarify some of the issues when there is no hyperbolicity assumed. We find that the key is to define a ``crossing number'' for that set $Q$. If that number is $M$ and $M>1$, then $Q$ contains a compact invariant set which factors over a shift on $M$ symbols.
