Topological Dynamical Systems

This book is an introduction into the theory of discrete dynamical systems with emphasis on the topological background. It is addressed primarily to graduate students. The prerequisites for understanding this book are modest: a certain mathematical maturity and a course in General Topology are sufficient. Students who have mastered this book will have a firm basis to start research on related topics. The theory is about the behaviour of points of a Hausdorff space under the iteration of a continuous self-map. The assumption that the space is metrizable is avoided as much as possible, but…
