It is proved that a piecewise monotone transformation of the unit interval (with a countable number of pieces) is generically chaotic. The Gauss map arising in connection with the continued fraction expansions of the reals is an example of such a transformation.
We consider a chaotic system with a double-scroll attractor proposed by Elwakil, composing with a second-order system, which has low-dimensional multiple invariant subspaces and multi-level on-off intermittency. This type of composite system always includes a skew-product structure and some invariant subspaces, which are associated with different levels of laminar phase. In order for the level of laminar phase be adjustable, we adopt a nonlinear function with saturation characteristic to tune the...
Chaos generated by the existence of Smale horseshoe is the well-known phenomenon in the theory of dynamical systems. The Poincaré-Andronov-Melnikov periodic and subharmonic bifurcations are also classical results in this theory. The purpose of this note is to extend those results to ordinary differential equations with multivalued perturbations. We present several examples based on our recent achievements in this direction. Singularly perturbed problems are studied as well. Applications are given...
