Strange attractors containing a singularity with two positive multipliers (Q1290535)

The main subject of this paper is to analyze the existence of strange attractors having singularities with two positive Lyapunov exponents. This investigation is motivated by the study of diffeomorphisms with (nonhyperbolic) attractors having several expanding directions in its basin. The authors construct smooth vector fields exhibiting strange attractors that contain a singularity with two positive Lyapunov exponents. Moreover, they explain how such attractors can be approximated by geometric Lorenz attractors or by homoclinic tangencies.
