Abstract

The aim of this project is to give the student an elemental background in one dimensional discrete dynamics systems, preparing him to research in this subject. It proposes the study of the first chapter of "An introduction to chaotic dynamical systems" of R. Devaney, complemented by more advanced texts addressed to researchers in the area, improving the scientific maturity of the student. The candidate will study fundamental concepts of dynamical systems, including symbolic dynamics, Devaney's chaos definition, Sarkovskii's Theorem, structural stability, dynamics in $S^1$ and fragments of kneading theory. At the end, the student will have seen a description of the very illustrative behaviour of the family $F_\mu(x)= \mu x(1-x)$, $\mu \in \mathbb{R}, \mu \geq 1$, including the period duplication phenomenon and the Poincaré Classification Theorem for $S^1$ homeomorphisms.
