Abstract: Let (X, d) be a bounded metric space and f : X → X be a uniformly continuous surjection. For a given dynamical system (X, f) which may not be compact, we investigate the relation between the asymptotic average shadowing property (AASP), transitivity and mixing. If f has the AASP, then the following statements hold: (1) f n is chain transitive for every positive integer n; (2) If X is compact and f is an expansive homeomorphism, then f is topologically weakly mixing; (3) If f is equicontinuous, then f is topologically weakly mixing; (4) If X is compact and f is equicontinuous, then f ×f is a minimal homeomorphism. We also show that the one-sided shift map has the AASP and the identity map 1 X does not have the AASP. Furthermore, as its applications, some examples are given. 

Key words: the POTP, the AASP, chain transitive, topologically transitive, topologically weakly mixing
