Abstract

We study the single-site approximation of the Perron-Frobenius equation for a coupled map lattice exhibiting a phase transition at a critical value g_c of the coupling constant. We found that the critical exponents are the same as in the usual mean-field theory of equilibrium statistical mechanics. Remarkably, the value of g_c is within six percent of the one previously obtained by numerical simulations with asynchronous updating.
