Regular continua constructed by P-expansive maps of one-dimensional continua

Recently, there has been growing interest in studying the dynamical behaviors of continuous maps of one-dimensional spaces. Especially, one of the central questions in the theory of dynamical systems is how to recognize "chaos". The theme of this paper is to describe visually the chaoticity of ...Thesis (Ph.
