Dynamics of weakly mixing non-autonomous systems

Abstract

For a commutative non-autonomous dynamical system we show that topological transitivity of the non-autonomous system induced on probability measures (hyperspaces) is equivalent to the weak mixing of the induced systems. Several counter examples are given for the results which are true in autonomous but need not be true in non-autonomous systems. Wherever possible sufficient conditions are obtained for the results to hold true. For a commutative periodic non-autonomous system on intervals, it is proved that weakly mixing implies Devaney chaos. Given a periodic non-autonomous system, it is shown that sensitivity is equivalent to some stronger forms of sensitivity on a closed unit interval.
