Orbitwise expansive points

This study defines an orbitwise expansive point (OE), such as x in a metric space (X,ρ), if there is a number d>0 such that the orbits of a few points inside an arbitrary open sphere will maintain a distance greater than d from the corresponding points of the orbit of x at least once. The point x is referred to as the relatively orbitwise expansive (ROE) point in the previously described scenario if d is replaced with the radius of the open sphere whose orbit is investigated and whose center is x. We also discuss OE (resp. ROE) set. We prove that arbitrary union of OE (resp. ROE) sets is again OE (resp. ROE) set and every limit point of an OE set is an OE point. We show that, rather than the other way around, Utz’s expansive map or Kato’s CW-expansive map implies sensitive (ROE) map. We utilise the concept of OE (resp. ROE) to analyse a time-varying dynamical system and investigate its relevance to certain traits associated with expansiveness.
