Dense Lineable Criterion for Linear Dynamics

Abstract: We study Li-Yorke chaos for sequences of continuous linear operators from an (F)-space to a normed space. We introduce the \emph{D-phenomenon} to establish a common dense lineable criterion that encompasses properties such as recurrence, universality, and Li-Yorke chaos. We show that in every infinite-dimensional separable complex Banach space, there exists a sequence of operators with a dense set of irregular vectors but without a dense irregular manifold, and we exhibit a recurrent operator whose set of recurrent vectors is not dense-lineable. This resolves in the negative a question posed by Grivaux et al.
