Absorbing Cantor sets in dynamical systems: Fibonacci maps

Dynamical Systems 2008-02-03 v1

Abstract

In this paper we shall show that there exists a polynomial unimodal map f: [0,1] -> [0,1] which is 1) non-renormalizable(therefore for each x from a residual set, ω(x)\omega(x) is equal to an interval), 2) for which ω(c)\omega(c) is a Cantor set, and 3) for which ω(x)=ω(c)\omega(x)=\omega(c) for Lebesgue almost all x. So the topological and the metric attractor of such a map do not coincide. This gives the answer to a question posed by Milnor.
