Abstract

We study the classical H\'enon family fa,b:(x,y)(1ax2+y,bx)f_{a,b}:(x,y)\mapsto(1-ax^2+y,bx), 0<a<20<a<2, 0<b<10<b<1, and prove that given an integer k1k\geq 1, there is a set of parameters EkE_k of positive two-dimensional Lebesgue measure so that fa,bf_{a,b}, for (a,b)Ek(a,b)\in E_k, has at least kk attractive periodic orbits and one strange attractor. A corresponding statement also holds for the H\'enon-like families. The final main result of the paper is the existence, within the classical H\'enon family, of a positive Lebesgue measure set of parameters whose corresponding maps have two coexisting strange attractors.
