Arnold tongues for bifurcation from infinity (Q932390)

The authors study bifurcations of large periodic trajectories of the system \(x_{k+1}=U( x_{k};\lambda) ,\) \(x\in\mathbb{R}^{N},\) \(N\geq2,\) where \(\lambda\) is a complex parameter. For sufficiently large \(| x| ,\) the map \(U\) is supposed continuous with respect to the set of its arguments and \[ U( x;\lambda) =A( \lambda) x+\Phi( x;\lambda) +\xi( x;\lambda), \] where \(A( \lambda) x\) is the principal linear part, \(\Phi( \cdot;\lambda) \) is a bounded positively homogeneous nonlinearity of order \(0,\) and \(\xi( \cdot;\lambda) \) is a small part (it tends to zero at infinity). The authors find the sets of parameter values for which the large-amplitude \(n\)-periodic trajectories exist for a fixed \(n.\) They show that in the related problems on small periodic orbits near zero, Arnold tongues are more narrow.
