This implies that given $\\Lambda$ a non-trivial $C^1$-robustly transitive set of a vector field $X$, there is a $C^1$-perturbation $Y$ of $X$ such that the continuation $\\Lambda_Y$ of $\\Lambda$ is a topologically mixing set for $Y$. In particular, robustly transitive flows become topologically mixing after $C^1$-perturbations. These results generalize a theorem by Bowen on the basic sets of generic Axiom A flows. We also show that the set of flows whose non-trivial homoclinic classes are topologically mixing is \\emph{not} open and dense, in general.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2003-02-06T20:52:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37C20" ], "keywords": [ "robust transitivity", "non-trivial homoclinic classes", "topological mixing", "topologically mixing", "generic flows" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AMS", "journal": "Proc.
