The system $(X,f)$ is Li-Yorke chaotic if it has an uncountable scrambled set. It is known that, for interval and circle maps, the existence of a scrambled pair implies Li-Yorke chaos, in fact the existence of a Cantor scrambled set. We prove that the same result holds for graph maps. We further show that on compact countable metric spaces one scrambled pair implies the existence of an infinite scrambled set.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-05-17T09:00:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37E25", "37B05", "54H20" ], "keywords": [ "scrambled pair implies li-yorke chaos", "graph maps", "scrambled set", "compact countable metric spaces", "compact metric space" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AMS", "journal": "Proc.
