On two-parametric systems of matrices and diffeomorphisms
Let K ⊆ ℝ be the unique attractor of an iterated function system. We consider the case where K is an interval and study those elements of K with a unique coding. We prove under mild conditions that the set of points with a unique coding can be identified with a subshift of finite type. As a consequence, we can show that the set of points with a unique coding is a graph-directed self-similar set in the sense of Mauldin and Williams (1988). The theory of Mauldin and Williams then provides a method...
We give a clear and systematic exposition of one-parameter families of brake orbits in dynamical systems on product vector bundles (where the fiber has the same dimension as the base manifold). A generalized definition of a brake orbit is given, and the relationship between brake orbits and periodic orbits is discussed. The brake equation, which implicitly encodes information about the brake orbits of a dynamical system, is defined. Using the brake equation, a one-parameter family of brake orbits...
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...
This paper concerns the global structure of planar systems. It is shown that if a positively bounded system with two singular points has no closed orbits, the set of all bounded solutions is compact and simply connected. Also it is shown that for such a system the existence of connecting orbits is tightly related to the behavior of homoclinic orbits. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of connecting orbits is given. The number of connecting orbits is also discussed.
We consider the packing spectra for the local dimension of Bernoulli measures supported on Bedford-McMullen carpets. We show that typically the packing dimension of the regular set is smaller than the packing dimension of the attractor. We also consider a specific class of measures for which we are able to calculate the packing spectrum exactly, and we show that the packing spectrum is discontinuous as a function on the space of Bernoulli measures.
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...
In this paper we will demonstrate that, in some conditions, the attractor of a countable iterated function system is a parameterized curve. This fact results by generalizing a construction of J. E. Hutchinson [Hut81].
