Disjoint Hypercyclicity and Topological Entropy of Composition Operators

Abstract

In a previous paper, we characterized the Devaney chaos, frequent hypercyclicity and dense distributional chaos of composition operators induced by continuous self-maps on the real line. The present paper further investigates the disjoint hypercyclicity and topological entropy of these operators. It is shown that the composition operator is [Formula: see text]-transitive if and only if it is Cesàro-hypercyclic, if and only if it is supercyclic, if and only if it has the specification property on the whole space. Furthermore, sufficient and necessary conditions for a pair of composition operators to be disjoint hypercyclic (disjoint mixing, respectively) are obtained. Finally, sufficient conditions for the composition operator to admit infinite topological entropy are provided.
