Multifractal analysis for Birkhoff averages on Lalley-Gatzouras repellers

Henry W. J. Reeve (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We consider the multifractal analysis for Birkhoff averages of continuous potentials on a class of non-conformal repellers corresponding to the self-affine limit sets studied by Lalley and Gatzouras. A conditional variational principle is given for the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points for which the Birkhoff averages converge to a given value. This extends a result of Barral and Mensi to certain non-conformal maps with a measure dependent Lyapunov exponent.

Non-uniformly hyperbolic horseshoes arising from bifurcations of Poincaré heteroclinic cycles

Jacob Palis, Jean-Christophe Yoccoz (2009)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

In the present paper, we advance considerably the current knowledge on the topic of bifurcations of heteroclinic cycles for smooth, meaning C ∞, parametrized families {g t ∣t∈ℝ} of surface diffeomorphisms. We assume that a quadratic tangency q is formed at t=0 between the stable and unstable lines of two periodic points, not belonging to the same orbit, of a (uniformly hyperbolic) horseshoe K (see an example at the Introduction) and that such lines cross each other with positive relative speed as...

On a certain map of a triangle

Grzegorz Świrszcz (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The paper answers some questions asked by Sharkovski concerning the map F:(u,v) ↦ (u(4-u-v),uv) of the triangle Δ = u,v ≥ 0: u+v ≤ 4. We construct an absolutely continuous σ-finite invariant measure for F. We also prove the following strange phenomenon. The preimages of side I = Δ ∩ v=0 form a dense subset F - n ( I ) of Δ and there is another dense set Λ consisting of points whose orbits approach the interval I but are not attracted by I.

On peaks in carrying simplices

Janusz Mierczyński (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A necessary and sufficient condition is given for the carrying simplex of a dissipative totally competitive system of three ordinary differential equations to have a peak singularity at an axial equilibrium. For systems of Lotka-Volterra type that result translates into a simple condition on the coefficients.

On the definition of strange nonchaotic attractor

Lluís Alsedà, Sara Costa (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, we want to discuss some methodological issues related to the notion of strange nonchaotic attractor. On the other hand, we want to formulate a precise definition of this kind of attractor, which is "observable" in the physical sense and, in the two-dimensional setting, includes the well known models proposed by Grebogi et al. and by Keller, and a wide range of other examples proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we analytically prove that a whole...

On-off intermittency in continuum systems driven by the Chen system

Qian Zhou, Zeng-Qiang Chen, Zhu Zhi Yuan (2008)

Kybernetika

Previous studies on on-off intermittency in continuum systems are generally based on the synchronization of identical chaotic oscillators or in nonlinear systems driven by the Duffing oscillator. In this paper, one-state on-off intermittency and two-state on-off intermittency are observed in two five- dimensional continuum systems, respectively, where each system has a two- dimensional subsystem driven by the chaotic Chen system. The phenomenon of intermingled basins is observed below the blowout...

Parabolic Cantor sets

Mariusz Urbański (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The notion of a parabolic Cantor set is introduced allowing in the definition of hyperbolic Cantor sets some fixed points to have derivatives of modulus one. Such difference in the assumptions is reflected in geometric properties of these Cantor sets. It turns out that if the Hausdorff dimension of this set is denoted by h, then its h-dimensional Hausdorff measure vanishes but the h-dimensional packing measure is positive and finite. This latter measure can also be dynamically characterized as the...
