A switched server system semi-conjugate to a minimal interval exchange
2019
Switched server systems are mathematical models of manufacturing, traffic and queueing systems that have being studied since the early 1990s. In particular, it is known that typically the dynamics of such systems is asymptotically periodic: each orbit of the system converges to one of its finitely many limit cycles. In this article, we provide an explicit example of a switched server system with exotic behavior: each orbit of the system converges to the same Cantor attractor. To accomplish this goal, we bring together recent advances in the understanding of the topological dynamics of piecewise contractions and interval exchange transformations with flips. The ultimate result is a switched server system whose Poincare map is semiconjugate to a minimal and uniquely ergodic interval exchange transformation with flips.
