Abstract: | For invertible, area-contracting maps of the plane, it is common for a basin of attraction to have a fractal basin boundary. Certain periodic orbits on the basin boundary are distinguished by being accessible (by a path) from the interior of the basin. A numerical study is made of the accessible periodic orbits for the Hénon family of maps. Theoretical results on rotary homoclinic tangencies are given, which describe the appearance of the accessible saddles, and organize them in a natural way according to the continued fractions expansions of their rotation numbers.Partially supported by the National Science FoundationPartially supported by a contract from the Applied and Computational Mathematics Program of DARPA |
