Dynamics of Symplectic Piecewise Affine Elliptic Rotation Maps on Tori

Abstract

dc:description

We investigate the iterative dynamics of symplectic piecewise-affine elliptic rotation maps associated with matrices with non-integer entries, 0-11a , where -2 < a < 2. We explain how their singularity and periodicity structures develop in general. In a special case, a = +/- 2 , we completely determine the orbit structure and the singularity structure, and answer conjectures by Tresser, Adler and Kitchens. We also report an example of a period tripling cascade that arises from this system.
