Abstract

Let X be a compact Hausdorff space, f ∈ C0(X, X) and A ⊂ X a minimal set of f. We first introduce a new topological invariant, the D-function of a minimal set, by the investigation of the decomposition of the minimal set A under the action of fn, n ∈ N. Then important properties about the invariant and the existence of minimal set with a given D-function in some subshift of finite type are discussed. Finally Sharkovskii's theorem is generalized to minimal sets of continuous mappings from the interval into itself.
