A characterization of the kneading pair for bimodal degree one circle maps

Lluis Alsedà, Antonio Falcó (1997)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

For continuous maps on the interval with finitely many monotonicity intervals, the kneading theory developed by Milnor and Thurston gives a symbolic description of the dynamics of a given map. This description is given in terms of the kneading invariants which essentially consists in the symbolic orbits of the turning points of the map under consideration. Moreover, this theory also describes a classification of all such maps through theses invariants. For continuous bimodal degree one...

Periods and entropy for Lorenz-like maps

Lluis Alsedà, J. Llibre, M. Misiurewicz, C. Tresser (1989)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We characterize the set of periods and its structure for the Lorenz-like maps depending on the rotation interval. Also, for these maps we give the best lower bound of the topological entropy as a function of the rotation interval.

Simple and complex dynamics for circle maps.

Lluís Alsedà, Vladimir Fedorenko (1993)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

The continuous self maps of a closed interval of the real line with zero topological entropy can be characterized in terms of the dynamics of the map on its chain recurrent set. In this paper we extend this characterization to continuous self maps of the circle. We show that, for these maps, the chain recurrent set can exhibit a new dynamic behaviour which is specific of the circle maps of degree one.

Hyperbolicity in a class of one-dimensional maps.

Gregory J. Davis (1990)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

In this paper we provide a direct proof of hyperbolicity for a class of one-dimensional maps on the unit interval. The maps studied are degenerate forms of the standard quadratic map on the interval. These maps are important in understanding the Newhouse theory of infinitely many sinks due to homoclinic tangencies in two dimensions.
