Computable Markov Partitions

Christian Wolf <cwolf@math.msstate.edu>, Mississippi State University

Abstract:

Computability in dynamical systems is a relatively young field that has attracted significant attention in recent years. One of its central questions is whether dynamically relevant objects can be algorithmically represented by a Turing machine. While this question has been extensively studied in symbolic dynamics, where computability results are known for various thermodynamical quantities such as entropy, pressure, equilibrium states and zero-temperature measures, a corresponding general theory for broader classes of topological and smooth dynamical systems is lacking.

In this talk, we present an approach to bridging this gap by introducing the concept of computable Markov partitions. This framework allows us to establish far-reaching computability results for several classes of topological and smooth dynamical systems. The results presented in this talk are joint work with Michael Burr and Tamara Kucherenko.
