Specification properties and dense distributional chaos
The notion of distributional chaos was introduced by Schweizer and
Smítal in [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 344 (1994) 737] for
continuous maps of a compact interval. Further, this notion was
generalized to three versions $d_1C$--$d_3C$ for maps acting on
general compact metric spaces (see e.g. [Chaos Solitons Fractals,
23 (2005) 1581]). The main result of [ J. Math. Anal. Appl. ,
241 (2000) 181] says that a weakened version of the specification
property implies existence of a two points scrambled set which
exhibits a $d_1 C$ version of distributional chaos. In this
article we show that much more complicated behavior is present in
that case. Strictly speaking, there exists an uncountable and
dense scrambled set consisting of recurrent but not almost
periodic points which exhibit uniform $d_1 C$ versions of
distributional chaos.
