Title of the talk:  Dynamics of Triangular Systems: A Journey through Non-autonomous Route

Date, Time & Venue: 01 Dec'25 at 4:30PM at 5:15 PM on Seminar Room, Dept. of Mathematics

Abstract: In this talk, we discuss the dynamics of a general non-autonomous dynamical systems. We relate the dynamics of the system with the dynamics of generating maps. We discuss properties such as various notions of transitivity and sensitivities, equicontinuity, minimality, proximality and Li-Yorke cells for such systems. Consequently, we investigate dynamics of triangular systems and relate it with the dynamics of the generating non-autonomous systems.
