The discretized flow on domains of attraction: a structural stability result (Q4399520)

Let \(M\) be an attractor of some dynamical system defined by ordinary differential equations. It is known that for stepsizes sufficiently small this attractor can not be fully destroyed by discretization. The discrete dynamical system \(\{\varphi^i\}_{i\in\mathbb{Z}}\) has an attractor \(M_k\) such that \(M_k\) approaches \(M\) in an upper semicontinuous way. The paper describes the structure of the system \(\{\varphi^i\}\) on \(A(M_k)\setminus M_k\) where \(A(M_k)\) is the domain of attraction of \(M_k\). From the abstract: ``\dots The existence of a smooth embedding into a continuous-time parallelizable flow is proved. The construction can be used to define sections for discretization and can be interpreted as a justification of the method of modified equations''.
