"Transitions in dynamical systems from one- to two-dimensions"

Ou, Dyi-Shing

Studies show that the possible dynamical behavior of a system is constrained by the dimension of its phase space. Here, we investigate how the constraint is lifted as the dimension increases. In particular, we view the Hénon [H] and the Lozi [L] families as perturbations of the unimodal and the tent families in two dimensions. We introduce a renormalization model and use the model to explain the following phenomena: $$ $$ 1.) The Hénon attractor does not depend on the parameters continuously. In fact, the prime end rotation number [KP] of the attractor is discontinuous. (with J. Boronski) $$ $$ 2.) On continuous interval mappings, all possible trajectories can be classified by a forcing relation [G,CE] based on the kneading theory. However, the forcing relation does not have a continuation in the Hénon and the Lozi families, even when the families are arbitrary close to one dimension [Ou]. $$ $$ 3.) A two-dimensional system can have infinitely many periodic attractors [N1,N2,R], whereas a sufficiently smooth one-dimensional system can not [S]. $$ $$ 4.) There are no Fibonacci maps [LM] in two dimensions. $$\phantom{---}$$ [H] Hénon, A two-dimensional mapping with a strange attractor, Commun. Math.
