Recently there has been an extensive study on Relative Semi-Dynamical Systems (RSD-Systems). In this paper, we explore some topological properties of RSD-systems. Here, in particular, minimal RSD-systems are characterized and transitive homeomorphisms are investigated. Moreover, α-level relative topological entropy is extended to RSD-systems. Finally, as a computational example, we develop an R...

A unitary operator U acting on the weakly compact unit ball B of a Hilbert space H gives a topological dynamical system (B, V). We prove in this note that for every ergodic u-invariant measure m, the dynamical system (B, U, m) is conjugated to a strictly ergodic group translation. Especially, the topological entropy of (B, U) is zero. As an application, it follows that any flow on the unit ball...

We present the first experimental observation of a topological transition in a non-Hermitian system. In contrast to standard methods for examining topological properties, which involve probing edge (or surface) states, we monitor the topological transition by employing bulk dynamics only. The system is composed of a lattice of evanescently coupled optical waveguides, and non-Hermitian behavior ...

Compact right topological groups arise in topological dynamics and in other settings. Following H. Furstenberg's seminal work on distal flows, R. Ellis and I. Namioka have shown that the compact right topological groups of dynamical type always admit a probability measure invariant under the continuous left translations; however, this invariance property is insufficient to identify a unique pro...

Current database systems cannot only store standard data like integer , string , and real values, but also spatial data like points , lines, and regions . The importance of topological relationships between spatial objects has been recognized a long time ago. Using the well known 9 intersection model for describing such relationships, a lot of constellations can be distinguished. For the query ...

A concept of entropy production associated with continuous topolog-ical evolution is deduced (without statistics) from the fact that Cartan-Hilbert 1-form of Action defines a non-equilibrium symplectic system of Pfaff Topological dimension 2n+2. The differential entropy, dS, is composed of the interior product of the non-canonical components of momentum with the components of the differential v...

Topological insulators are bulk insulators that possess robust chiral conducting states along their interfaces with normal insulators. A tremendous research effort has recently been devoted to topological insulator-based heterostructures, in which conventional proximity effects give rise to a series of exotic physical phenomena. Here we establish the potential existence of topological proximity...
