Accumulation sets and zero entropy dynamics in the Lozi map
Abstract
For the family of Lozi maps , we consider parameter pairs for which the f\mbox{}ixed point has no homoclinic points and the period-two orbit is attracting. For such parameters, let be the set of accumulation points of the unstable manifold that do not lie on . We construct a polygon whose forward images under form nested sequences of sets that eventually become trapping. We show that this geometric construction gives a characterization of as the intersection of these iterates. Using this structure, we prove that the non-wandering set for is contained in the union of and the set of f\mbox{}ixed points of . As a consequence, the Lozi map, restricted to the complement of in the plane, has zero topological entropy. This result extends a recent one of Misiurewicz and \v{S}timac to a broader set of parameters.
