Abstract

We present an efficient method for fast, complete, and accurate detection of unstable periodic orbits in chaotic systems. Our method consists of a new iterative scheme and an effective technique for selecting initial points. The iterative scheme is based on the semi-implicit Euler method, which has both fast and global convergence, and only a small number of initial points is sufficient to detect all unstable periodic orbits of a given period. The power of our method is illustrated by numerical examples of both two- and four-dimensional maps.
