Abstract:

In the present paper, we define sensitive pairs via Furstenberg families and
discuss the relation of three definitions: sensitivity, F-sensitivity and F-sensitive pairs,
see Theorem 1. For transitive systems, we give some su?cient conditions to ensure the
existence of F-sensitive pairs. In particular, each non-minimal E system (M system, P sys-
tem) has positive lower density (Fs, Fr resp.)-sensitive pairs almost everywhere. Moreover,
each non-minimal M system is Fts-sensitive. Finally, by some examples we show that: (1)
F-sensitivity can not imply the existence of F-sensitive pairs. That means there exists an
F-sensitive system, which has no F-sensitive pairs. (2) There is no immediate relation be-
tween the existence of sensitive pairs and Li-Yorke chaos, i.e., there exists a system (X,f)
without Li-Yorke scrambled pairs, which has κB-sensitive pairs almost everywhere. (3)
If the system (G,f) is sensitive, where G is a finite graph, then it has κB-sensitive pairs
almost everywhere.

Key words: sensitive pair, Furstenberg family, transitive system
