Generic chaos on dendrites

Abstract: We characterize dendrites $D$ such that a continuous selfmap of $D$ is generically chaotic (in the sense of Lasota) if and only if it is generically $\varepsilon$-chaotic for some $\varepsilon>0$. In other words, we characterize dendrites on which generic chaos of a continuous map can be described in terms of the behaviour of subdendrites with nonempty interiors under iterates of the map. A dendrite $D$ belongs to this class if and only if it is completely regular, with all points of finite order (that is, if and only if $D$ contains neither a copy of the Riemann dendrite nor a copy of the $\omega$-star).
