Existence and Distributional Chaos of Points that are Recurrent but Not Banach Recurrent

Abstract

According to the recurrent frequency, many levels of recurrent points are found, such as periodic points, almost periodic points, weakly almost periodic points, quasi-weakly almost periodic points and Banach recurrent points. In this paper, we consider symbolic dynamics and show the existence of six refined levels between Banach recurrence and general recurrence. Despite the fact that these refined levels are all null-measure under any invariant measure, we further show they carry strong topological complexity. Each refined level of recurrent points is dense in the whole space and contains an uncountable distributionally chaotic subset. For a wide range of dynamical systems, such as expansive systems with the shadowing property, we also show the distributional chaos of the points that are recurrent but not Banach recurrent.
