Download or read book Topological Dynamical Systems written by Jan Vries and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no recent elementary introduction to the theory of discrete dynamical systems that stresses the topological background of the topic. This book fills this gap: it deals with this theory as 'applied general topology'. We treat all important concepts needed to understand recent literature. The book is addressed primarily to graduate students. The prerequisites for understanding this book are modest: a certain mathematical maturity and course in General Topology are sufficient.
