Tangential homoclinic points for Lozi maps
Abstract
For the family of Lozi maps, we study homoclinic points for the saddle fixed point in the first quadrant. Specifically, in the parameter space, we examine the boundary of the region in which homoclinic points for exist. For all parameters on that boundary, all intersections of the stable and unstable manifold of , apart from , are tangential, or these manifolds intersect along a segment. We ultimately prove that for such parameters, all possible homoclinic points for are iterates of two special points and , or iterates of points on a segment joining with an iterate of . Additionally, we describe the parameter curves that form the boundary and provide explicit equations for several of them.
