F-equicontinuity and an Analogue of Auslander-Yorke Dichotomy Theorem

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce an ${\mathscr F}$-equi\-con\-ti\-nui\-ty and show an analogue of Auslander-Yorke dichotomy theorem for ${\mathscr F}$-sensitivity. Precisely, under the condition that $k{\mathscr F}$ is translation invariant, we prove that a transitive system is either ${\mathscr F}$-sensitive or almost $k{\mathscr F}$-equi\-con\-ti\-nuo\-us , and so generalize the result of previous work. Also we show that ${\mathscr F}$-equi\-con\-ti\-nui\-ty is preserved by an open factor map and consider the implication between ${\mathscr F}$-equi\-con\-ti\-nui\-ty and mean equi\-con\-ti\-nui\-ty.
