Abstract

For the family of H\'{e}non maps (x,y)(a(1x2)by,x)(x,y)\mapsto (\sqrt{a}(1-x^2)-b y,x) of R2\mathbb{R}^2, the so-called anti-integrable (AI) limit concerns the limit aa\to\infty with fixed Jacobian bb. At the AI limit, the dynamics reduces to a subshift of finite type. There is a one-to-one correspondence between sequences allowed by the subshift and the AI orbits. The theory of anti-integrability says that each AI orbit can be continued to becoming a genuine orbit of the H\'{e}non map for aa sufficiently large (and fixed Jacobian). In this paper, we assume bb is a smooth function of aa and show that the theory can be extended to investigating the limit limab/a=r^\lim_{a\to\infty} b/\sqrt{a}=\hat{r} for any r^>0\hat{r}>0 provided that the one dimensional quadratic map x1r^(1x2)x\mapsto \displaystyle\frac{1}{\hat{r}}(1-x^2) is hyperbolic.
