ABSTRACT
Let f be a diffeomorphism on a compact smooth Riemannian manifold M, and let Λ be a closed f-invariant transitive subset of M. In this paper, we show that f|Λ is C1-stably expansive if and only if Λ is a hyperbolic basic set. Moreover, C1-generically, a locally maximal transitive set Λ is expansive if and only if it is a hyperbolic basic set.
