We previously showed that three-dimensional quadratic diffeomorphisms have anti-integrable (AI) limits that correspond to a quadratic correspondence; a pair of one-dimensional maps. At the AI limit the dynamics is conjugate to a full shift…
Three-dimensional quadratic diffeomorphisms with quadratic inverse generically have five independent parameters. When some parameters approach infinity, the diffeomorphisms may exhibit a so-called anti-integrable limit in the traditional…
For the family of H\'{e}non maps $(x,y)\mapsto (\sqrt{a}(1-x^2)-b y,x)$ of $\mathbb{R}^2$, the so-called anti-integrable (AI) limit concerns the limit $a\to\infty$ with fixed Jacobian $b$. At the AI limit, the dynamics reduces to a subshift…
Chaotic dynamics can be effectively studied by continuation from an anti-integrable limit. Using the Henon map as an example, we obtain a simple analytical bound on the domain of existence of the horseshoe that is equivalent to the…
We study dynamics of a generic quadratic diffeomorphism, a 3D generalization of the planar H\'{e}non map. Focusing on the dissipative, orientation preserving case, we give a comprehensive parameter study of codimension-one and two…
The Epstein deformation space parameterizes marked rational maps with prescribed combinatorial and dynamical structure. For the family of quadratic rational maps with a periodic critical cycle of order 4 and an extra critical point not…
We study the dynamics of a piecewise map defined on the set of three pairwise nonparallel, nonconcurrent lines in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The geometric map of study may be analogized to the billiard map with a different reflection rule so that each…
We study the dynamics of the five-parameter quadratic family of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of R^3. This family is the unfolded normal form for a bifurcation of a fixed point with a triple-one multiplier and also is the general form…
The intermediate dynamics of composed one-dimensional maps is used to multiply attractors in phase space and create multiple independent bifurcation diagrams which can split apart. Results are shown for the composition of k-paradigmatic…
We discuss in detail the dynamics of maps $z\mapsto ae^z+be^{-z}$ for which both critical orbits are strictly preperiodic. The points which converge to $\infty$ under iteration contain a set $R$ consisting of uncountably many curves called…
This paper introduces the \textit{truncator} map as a dynamical system on the space of configurations of an interacting particle system. We represent the symbolic dynamics generated by this system as a non-commutative algebra and classify…
We study bifurcation mechanisms for the appearance of hyperchaotic attractors in three-dimensional diffeomorphisms, i.e., such attractors whose orbits have two positive Lyapunov exponents in numerical experiments. In order to possess this…
In this paper, we study asymptotic behavior arising in inverse limit spaces of dendrites. In particular, the inverse limit is constructed with a single unimodal bonding map, for which points have unique itineraries and the critical point is…
Dynamical maps describe general transformations of the state of a physical system, and their iteration can be interpreted as generating a discrete time evolution. Prime examples include classical nonlinear systems undergoing transitions to…
We develop a bifurcation theory for infinite dimensional systems satisfying abstract hypotheses that are tailored for applications to mean field coupled chaotic maps. Our abstract theory can be applied to many cases, from globally coupled…
We consider a dynamical system to have memory if it remembers the current state as well as the state before that. The dynamics is defined as follows: $x_{n+1}=T_{\alpha}(x_{n-1},x_{n})=\tau (\alpha \cdot x_{n}+(1-\alpha)\cdot x_{n-1}),$…
We study dynamics and bifurcations of 2-dimensional reversible maps having a symmetric saddle fixed point with an asymmetric pair of nontransversal homoclinic orbits (a symmetric nontransversal homoclinic figure-8). We consider…
Classical chaotic systems with symbolic dynamics but strong pruning present a particular challenge for the application of semiclassical quantization methods. In the present study we show that the technique of periodic orbit quantization by…
M. Kruskal showed that each continuous-time nearly-periodic dynamical system admits a formal $U(1)$ symmetry, generated by the so-called roto-rate. When the nearly-periodic system is also Hamiltonian, Noether's theorem implies the existence…
Symbolic dynamics for homoclinic orbits in the two-dimensional symmetric map, $x_{n+1}+cx_{n}+x_{n-1}=3x_{n}^3$, is discussed. Above a critical $c^{\ast}$, the system exhibits a fully-developed horse-shoe so that its global behavior is…
