Coexisting cycles in a class of 3-D discrete maps
In this paper we consider the class of three-dimensional discrete maps () = [(), (), ()], where : ℝ → ℝ is an endomorphism. We show that all the cycles of the 3-D map can be obtained by those of (), as well as their local bifurcations. In particular we obtain that any local bifurcation is of co-dimension 3, that is three eigenvalues cross simultaneously the unit circle. As the map exhibits coexistence of cycles when ...
