Chaotic polynomials on Banach spaces

We show the existence of chaotic (in the sense of Devaney) polynomials on Banach spaces of q-summable sequences. Such polynomials P consist of composition of the backward shift with a certain fixed polynomial p of one complex variable on each coordinate. In general we also prove that P is chaotic in the sense of Auslander and Yorke if and only if 0 belongs to the Julia set of p.  2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
