Approximation of one class of differentiable functions by piecewise-HermitianL-splines (Q4939732)

The author studies some properties of two-dimensional mapping \[ (x,y) \mapsto(f_a(x)+\xi(f_a(y)-f_a(x)),f_a(y)+\xi(f_a(x)-f_a(y))),\tag{1} \] where \(f_a(x)=ax(1-x)\), \(a\in (1,4)\), \(\xi \in (0,1)\). Let \(\Phi :\mathbb R^2 \mapsto \mathbb R^2\) stand for the mapping which is obtained from (1) after the change of variables \(z=a(x-y), t=a(x+y-1)\), and let \(\Psi_a\) be the restriction of \(\Phi \) on the invariant axis \(z=0\). The author defines the set \(\Lambda _{\alpha\beta }=\bigcap_{j=0}^\infty\Psi_a^j([-a(a-2)/2-\beta,a(a-2)/2+\beta])\) and shows that there exists such a set \(\Delta \subset(2,4)\) of positive Lebesgue measure that the set \(\{0\}\times\Lambda_{\alpha\beta }\) is a topologically transitive chaotic attractor of \(\Phi\) for any \(\xi \in (1/2-3/(8 {\root 4\of 6}),1/2+3/(8{\root 4\of 6})\).
