Several stronger forms of transitivity in non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce and study the notions of $\Delta$-mixing, $\Delta$-transitivity, mildly mixing, strong multi-transitivity and multi-transitivity with respect to a vector in non-autonomous discrete dynamical systems (NDS). Firstly, we prove that multi-transitivity (strong multi-transitivity, multi-transitivity with respect to a vector, $\Delta$-transitivity, respectively) of NDS is iteration invariants. Then, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained under which an NDS is strongly multi-transitive ($\Delta$-mixing, $\Delta$-transitive, respectively). Besides, we present some counterexamples to justify that the results related to stronger forms of transitivity which are true for autonomous discrete dynamical systems (ADS) but fail in NDS, which show that there is a significant difference between the theory of ADS and the theory of NDS, and establish a sufficient condition under which the results still hold in NDS. Finally, we give a sufficient condition under which multi-transitivity, weakly mixing, weakly mixing of all orders, thick transitivity, $\Delta$-transitivity and strongly multi-transitive are equivalent in NDS.
