Welcome!  This collection of Open Problems in Dynamical Systems & Ergodic Theory   originated from the Katsiveli - 2000  Open Problems Session (Chairman - Benjamin Weiss). New problems are being added to it.

 If you would like to submit some open problems to this page, please send them to me in the form of TEX or LATEX files. Please make sure that the introduction and references to your open problems are as complete as possible (simply because this is helpful to readers who attempt to solve them). I would also appreciate any notification of open problems in "DS & ET" web links (some of them you can find also here).

  Anyone who has never had any (open) problem has never tried anything new. Anyone who has published a paper has solved a problem and maybe has some other open problems. Why not to present them at this www page?
