LIST E: FIVE PAPERS ON A WELL-FOUNDED RELATION IN SYMBOLIC DYNAMICS:
[E1]
Recurrent points and hyperarithmetic sets In:
Set Theory, Techniques and Applications, Curacao 1995 and
Barcelona 1996 conferences, edited by C. A. Di Prisco, Jean A. Larson,
Joan Bagaria and A. R. D. Mathias, Kluwer Academic Publishers,
Dordrecht, Boston, London, 1998, 157--174.)

(really a scholium to [E2], though published sooner; gives an example of a recursively defined iteration that stabilises at the first non-recursive ordinal, and suggests approaches to a conjecture that was later refuted in [E5], though some of the ideas survive in [E3] and [E4].)
[E2]
Delays, recurrence and ordinals
Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, (3) 82
(2001) 257--298..ps.dvi
(using set-theoretical ideas to study the iteration of derived ω-limit
sets in dynamical systems, proves that, from every starting point, that
iteration stabilises not later than the first uncountable ordinal, gives
examples in Baire and in Cantor space for each countable ordinal of
iterations lasting exactly that long, gives an example of a
recursively defined point starting from which the iteration stabilises at
the first non-recursive ordinal, and gives new examples of complete
analytic sets.)
[E3]
Choosing an attacker by a local derivation
Acta Universitatis
Carolinae - Math. et Phys., 45 (2004) 59--65.

(the surviving fragment of attempts to prove the conjectures
refuted in [E5].)
[E4]
A scenario for tranferring high scores
Acta Universitatis
Carolinae - Math. et Phys., 45 (2004) 67--73.
.ps

(gives a sufficient condition for a dynamical system to contain a point
of uncountable score.)
[E5]
Analytic sets under attack
Math. Proc. Cam. Phil. Soc. 138 '2005) 465--485; MR 2138574
.ps.dvi
(answers questions left open in "Delays" by constructing two recursive points,
a and b , in Baire space such that the second derived
ω-limit set starting from a is a complete analytic set
whilst the third is empty, whereas starting from the point b the
iteration of derived ω-limit sets stabilises exactly at the
first uncountable ordinal, yielding yet another complete analytic
set.)
