Assume the Lebesgue covering dimension of $X$ is $d$. We show that for a generic continuous map $h:X\\rightarrow[0,1]$, the $(2d+1)$-delay observation map $x\\mapsto\\big(h(x),h(Tx),\\ldots,h(T^{2d}x)\\big)$ is an embedding of $X$ inside $[0,1]^{2d+1}$. This is a generalization of the discrete version of the celebrated Takens embedding theorem, as proven by Sauer, Yorke and Casdagli to the setting of a continuous observable. In particular there is no assumption on the (lower) box-counting dimension of $X$ which may be infinite.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-10-20T11:49:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37C45", "54H20" ], "keywords": [ "continuous observable", "compact metric space", "delay observation map", "generic continuous map", "celebrated takens embedding theorem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151005843G" } } }
