Wandering set
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
The set of all wandering points (cf. Wandering point) of some dynamical system . Since for each point the set contains all points of the neighbourhood , it is open in the phase space . Accordingly, the set of all non-wandering points is closed. The sets and are invariant, i.e. with each of their points they contain the point for an arbitrary . In a compact space each wandering point tends to both when and when .
