This article describes a method — called here "the method of Stretching Along the Paths" (SAP) — to prove the existence of chaotic sets in discrete-time dynamical systems. The method of SAP, although mathematically rigorous, is based on some elementary geometrical considerations and is relatively easy to apply to models arising in applications. The paper provides a description of the basic mathematical ideas behind the method, as well as three applications to economic models. Incidentally, the paper also discusses some questions concerning the definition of chaos and some problems arising from economic models in which the dynamics are defined only implicitly.

International audience The Gaussian algorithm for lattice reduction in dimension 2 is precisely analysed under a class of realistic probabilistic models, which are of interest when applying the Gauss algorithm "inside'' the LLL algorithm. The proofs deal with the underlying dynamical systems and transfer operators. All the main parameters are studied: execution parameters which describe the behaviour of the algorithm itself as well as output parameters, which describe the geometry of reduced bases.

This paper is the first part of a two-part survey reviewing some basic concepts and methods of the modern theory of dynamical systems. The survey is introduced by a preliminary discussion of the relevance of nonlinear dynamics and chaos for economics. We then discuss the dynamic behavior of nonlinear systems of difference and differential equations such as those commonly employed in the analysis of economically motivated models. Part I of the survey focuses on the geometrical properties of orbits. In particular, we discuss the notion of attractor and the different types of attractors generated by discrete- and continuous-time dynamical systems, such as fixed and periodic points, limit cycles, quasiperiodic and chaotic attractors. The notions of (noninteger) fractal dimension and Lyapunov characteristic exponent also are explained, as well as the main routes to chaos.

A Cremona transformation X=f(x, y), Y=g(x, y) is a rational mapping (meaning that f and g are ratios of polynomials) with rational inverse x=F(X, Y), y=G(X, Y). Discrete dynamical systems defined by such transformations are well studied. They include symmetries of the Yang-Baxter equations and their generalizations. In this paper we comment on two types of dynamical systems based on Cremona transformations. The first is the P1 case of Bellon et al. which pertains to the inversion relation for the matrix of Boltzmann weights of the 4-state chiral Potts model. The resulting dynamical system decouples completely to one in a single variable. The sub case z=x corresponds to the symmetric Ashkin-Teller model. We solve this case explicitly giving orbits as closed formulas in the number n of iterations. The second type of system treated is an extension from the famous example due to McMillan of invariant curves of area preserving maps in two dimensions to the case of invariant curves and surfaces of three dimensional Cremona maps that preserve volume. The trace map of the renormalization of transmission through a Fibonacci chain, first introduced by Kohmoto, Kadanoff and Tang, is considered as an example of such a system.
