AbstractIommi and Kiwi (J Stat Phys 135:535–546, 2009) showed that the Lyapunov spectrum of an expanding map need not be concave, and posed various problems concerning the possible number of inflection points. In this paper we answer a conjecture in Iommi and Kiwi (2009) by proving that the Lyapunov spectrum of a two branch piecewise linear map has at most two points of inflection. We then answer a question in Iommi and Kiwi (2009) by proving that there exist finite branch piecewise linear maps whose Lyapunov spectra have arbitrarily many points of inflection. This approach is used to exhibit a countable branch piecewise linear map whose Lyapunov spectrum has infinitely many points of inflection.

In many applications, sequences generated by chaotic maps have been considered as pseudo-random sequences. This paper deals with the correlation between chaotic sequences generated by a given piecewise linear map; we have based the measure of the correlation on the statistics of the Kendall tau, which is usually used in the field of statistics. We considered three piecewise linear maps to generate chaotic sequences and computed the statistics of the Kendall tau of couples of sequences obtained from randomly chosen couples of initial conditions. We essentially found that the results depend on the considered chaotic map and that it is possible to approach the uncorrelated case.

This paper is principally concerned with the effect of splitting and permuting, or shifting, the branches of an onto piecewise linear map, with particular regard to the effect on the autocorrelation of the associated chaotic sequence. This is shown to be a chaotic function of the shifting parameter of the map, and its sensitivity with respect to minute changes in this parameter is termed autocorrelation chaos. This paper presents both analytical and computational studies of the phenomenon.

AbstractWe find an explicit formula for the invariant densityhof an arbitrary eventually expanding piecewise linear mapτof an interval [0,1]. We do not assume that the slopes of the branches are the same and we allow arbitrary number of shorter branches touching zero or touching one or hanging in between. The construction involves the matrixSwhich is defined in a way somewhat similar to the definition of the kneading matrix of a continuous piecewise monotonic map. Under some additional assumptions, we prove that if 1 is not an eigenvalue ofS, then the dynamical system (τ,h⋅m) is ergodic with full support.

In this work we consider the border collision bifurcations occurring in a one-dimensional piecewise linear map with two discontinuity points. The map, motivated by an economic application, is written in a generic form and considered in the stable regime, with all slopes between zero and one. We prove that the period adding structures occur in maps with more than one discontinuity points and that the Leonov's method to calculate the bifurcation curves forming these structures is applicable also in this case. We demonstrate the existence of particular codimension-2 bifurcation (big-bang bifurcation) points in the parameter space, from which infinitely many bifurcation curves are issuing associated with cycles involving several partitions. We describe how the bifurcation structure of a map with one discontinuity is modified by the introduction of a second discontinuity point, which causes orbits to appear located on three partitions and organized again in a period-adding structure. We also describe particular codimension-2 bifurcation points which represent limit sets of doubly infinite sequences of bifurcation curves and appear due to the existence of two discontinuities.

Recently, it was demonstrated that two chaotic dynamical systems can synchronize each other, leading to interesting applications as secure communications. We propose in this paper a special class of dynamical systems, noninvertible discrete piecewise linear, emphasizing on interesting advantages they present compared with continuous and differentiable nonlinear ones. The generic aspect of such systems, the simplicity of numerical implementation, and the robustness to mismatch of technological parameters make them good candidates. The classical concept of controllability in the control theory is presented and used in order to choose and predict the number of appropriate variables to be transmitted for synchronization. A necessary and sufficient condition of chaotic synchronization is established without computing numerical quantities, introducing a state affinity structure of chaotic systems which provides an a priori establishment of synchronization.

We provide some new estimates for the topological degree of a class of continuous and piecewise linear maps based on a classical integral computation formula. We provide applications to some nonlinear problems that exhibit a local [Formula: see text] structure.

In this paper, we prove the existence of a chaotic saddle for a piecewise-linear map of the plane, referred to as the Lozi map. We study the Lozi map in its orientation and area preserving version. First, we consider the autonomous version of the Lozi map to which we apply the Conley–Moser conditions to obtain the proof of a chaotic saddle. Then we generalize the Lozi map on a nonautonomous version and we prove that the first and the third Conley–Moser conditions are satisfied, which imply the existence of a chaotic saddle. Finally, we numerically demonstrate how the structure of this nonautonomous chaotic saddle varies as parameters are varied.
