Wild attractors for Fibonacci maps

Dynamical Systems 2024-07-01 v2

Abstract

Existence of wild attractors -- attractors whose basin has a positive Lebesgue measure but is not a residual set -- has been one of central themes in one-dimensional dynamics. It has been demonstrated by H. Bruin et al. that Fibonacci maps with a sufficiently flat critical point admit a wild attractor. We propose a constructive trichotomy that describes possible scenarios for the Lebesgue measure of the Fibonacci attractor based on a computable criterion. We use this criterion, together with a computer-assisted proof of existence of a Fibonacci renormalization 22-cycle for non-integer critical degrees, to demonstrate that Fibonacci maps do not have a wild attractor when the degree of the critical point is d=3.8d=3.8 (and, conjecturally, for 2<d3.82< d \le 3.8), and do admit it when d=5.1d=5.1 (and, conjecturally, for d5.1d \ge 5.1).
