Topological dynamics

Topological dynamics

In mathematics, topological dynamics is a branch of the theory of dynamical systems in which qualitative, or asymptotic properties of dynamical systems are studied from the viewpoint of general topology. The central object of study in topological dynamics is a topological dynamical system; i.e., a topological space, together with a continuous transformation (or a semigroup of continuous transformations) of that space.
