Period-doubling cascades for large perturbations of Hénon families

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2431376



Abstract: The Henon family has been shown to have period-doubling cascades. We show here that the same occurs for a much larger class: Large perturbations do not destroy cascades. Furthermore, we can classify the period of a cascade in terms of the set of orbits it contains, and count the number of cascades of each period. This class of families extends a general theory explaining why cascades occur.


A cascade is a special type of connected set of periodic orbits, connected in the space of periodic orbits under the Hausdorff metric. The Hénon family has been shown to have period-doubling cascades. In the paper it is shown that the same occurs for a much larger class. Large perturbations do not destroy cascades. Periods of a cascade in terms of the set of orbits it contains areclassified, and the number of cascades of each period is counted. This extends a general theory explaining why cascades occur.
