    The author studies the six-dimensional mapping of the form \[ T : \begin{cases} u_{1,m+1} = u_{2,m} -u_{3,m} ((2/3) u_{5,m} -2\alpha) \\ u_{2,m+1} = u_{1,m} \\ u_{3,m+1} = u_{4,m} -u_{1,m} ((2/3) u_{5,m} +2\alpha) \\ u_{4,m+1} = u_{3,m} \\ u_{5,m+1} = u_{6,m} + (8/3) u_{1,m} u_{3,m} \\ u_{6,m+1} = u_{5,m} \end{cases} \] which has its source in the numerical solutions of partial differential equations (see the author, \textit{T. Sarie, A. C. Newell} [J. Comput. Phys. 51, 83-106 (1983; Zbl 0512.65070)]). The fixed points of \(T\), \(T^2\), \(T^4\) (called period-one, period-two or period-four) are studied. The stable manifolds of period-one and period-two points attract the special attention of the author in section~2. The mathematical analysis is done in close conjunction with numerical experiments. In section~3, several sets of period-four solutions are presented. In section~4 some stability regions of period- four points are tested, especially which projections are ellipses. The obtained results are illustrated by figures, which are helpful in understanding the shapes and position of the described stability regions. The first section presents a good historical introduction.
