APPLIED AND COMPUTATIONAL MATHEMATICS SEMINAR


Speaker: Gabriel Prajitura, Mathematics, College of Brockport, SUNY
Title: Linear chaos

Abstract: We will discuss some metric and topologic properties of orbits of linear operators (density, irregularity, types of hypercyclicity, self density). The behavior of an orbit is, in many ways, extreme. Usually, there is no "in - between" case. For exmple, an orbit is either dense or nowhere dense. We will show some other properties of the same type.
