Abstract

If x and y belong to a metric space X , we call (x,y) a DC1 scrambled pair for f:X→X if the following conditions hold: 1)

for all t>0, , and 2)

for some t>0, .

If D⊂X is an uncountable set such that every x,y∈D form a DC1 scrambled pair forf, we say f exhibits distributional chaos of type 1. If there exists t>0 such that condition 2) holds for any distinct points x,y∈D, then the chaos is said to be uniform. A dendrite is a locally connected, uniquely arcwise connected, compact metric space. In this paper we show that a certain family of quadratic Julia sets (one that contains all the quadratic Julia sets which are dendrites and many others which contain circles) has uniform DC1 chaos.
