The inverse scattering problem for chaotic Hamiltonian systems (Q5953618)

The goal of the authors is to extract from asymptotic data information about the chaotic invariant set, represented by a horseshoe construction in an appropriate Poincaré section. Moreover they address the question how to obtain thermodynamic measures and a partition from these data. They achieve their goal explicitly for two types of systems governed by an external or an internal clock, respectively. The authors explain the scattering functions and their fractal set of singularities, which is the input data for the reconstruction of the chaotic saddle from asymptotic data.
