Dynamics of (sub)shifts

In the lectures we skipped section 3 of chapter 4 of Martin Rasmussen's notes (on Chaos in 2 dimensions: the horseshoe mapping) and instead discussed one-dimensional dynamics
(semi-)conjugate to subshifts associated to topological Markov Chains. You find relevant notes (by me) on Blackboard, as well as part of Chapter 7 from Hasselblatt and Katok (broadly dealing with the same matter). 

Exercise class 16/11 about Chapter 4 exercises

The lecture of Fri 16/11 will be an exercise class (moderated by Andrew Clarke) about the exercises of chapter four in the course notes by Dr Rasmussen.

There is an opportunity to get feedback on your own work on these exercises (not for credit) if you hand in your work by wed 14/11, 5pm in my mailbox in the staff mailroom on Huxley 6th floor.

Model answers for these exercises have now been posted on blackboard (if you do not have access but would like to get them, drop me an e-mail at jswlamb@ic.ac.uk).
