Some paradoxical aspects of the Nos�� and Nos��-Hoover dynamics of 1984 and Dettmann's dynamics of 1996 are elucidated. Phase-space descriptions of thermostated harmonic oscillator dynamics can be simultaneously expanding, incompressible, or contracting, as is described here by a variety of three- and four-dimensional phase-space models. These findings illustrate some surprising consequences when Liouville's continuity equation is applied to Hamiltonian flows., Eight pages with three figures
