Multiplicity of fixed points and growth of \(\varepsilon \)-neighborhoods of orbits



Abstract: We study the relationship between the multiplicity of a fixed point of a function g, and the dependence on epsilon of the length of epsilon-neighborhood of any orbit of g, tending to the fixed point. The relationship between these two notions was discovered before (Elezovic, Zubrinic, Zupanovic) in the differentiable case, and related to the box dimension of the orbit. Here, we generalize these results to non-differentiable cases introducing a new notion of critical Minkowski order. We study the space of functions having a development in a Chebyshev scale and use multiplicity with respect to this space of functions. With the new definition, we recover the relationship between multiplicity of fixed points and the dependence on epsilon of the length of epsilon-neighborhoods of orbits in non-differentiable cases. Applications include in particular Poincare maps near homoclinic loops and hyperbolic 2-cycles, and Abelian integrals. This is a new approach to estimate the cyclicity, by computing the length of the epsilon-neighborhood of one orbit of the Poincare map (for example numerically), and by comparing it to the appropriate scale.


The multiplicity of a fixed point is studied for nondifferentiable functions along the lines initiated by the third author jointly with \textit{N. Elezović} and \textit{D. Žubrinić} [Chaos Solitons Fractals 34, No. 2, 244--252 (2007; Zbl 1133.37007)] in a differentiable case. The estimation of the multiplicity is this time obtained in a more sophisticated way. More precisely, an appropriate scale is found to which the length of the \(\varepsilon\)-neighbourhood of the close orbits is comparable. Several applications are presented, including those to particular Poincaré maps.
