Dynamical properties in the axiomatic theory of ordinary differential equations

Abstract

The axiomatic theory of ordinary differential equations, owing to its simplicity, can provide a useful framework to describe various generalizations of dynamical systems. In this study, we consider how dynamical properties can be generalized to this setting. First, we study the generalizations of dynamical properties, such as invariance and limit sets and show that compact weakly invariant sets can be characterized in terms of the corresponding shift-invariant sets in the function space. This result enables us to consider weakly invariant sets in terms of shift-invariant sets. Next, we compare the axiomatic theory of ODE with other formalisms of generalized dynamical systems, namely generalized semiflow and multivalued semigroup. Finally, we introduce the notion of invariant measures and show that we can generalize classical results, such as Poincaré recurrence theorem.
