The Structural Stability of Maps with Heteroclinic Repellers
Abstract
This note is concerned with the effect of small C1C1 perturbations on a discrete dynamical system (X,f)(X,f), which has heteroclinic repellers. The question to be addressed is whether such perturbed system (X,g)(X,g) has heteroclinic repellers. It will be shown that if ∥f−g∥C1∥f−g∥C1 is small enough, (X,g)(X,g) has heteroclinic repellers, which implies that it is chaotic in the sense of Devaney. In addition, if X=RnX=Rn and (X,f)(X,f) has regular nondegenerate heteroclinic repellers, then (X,g)(X,g) has regular nondegenerate heteroclinic repellers, where gg is a small Lipschitz perturbation of ff. Three examples are presented to validate the theoretical conclusions.
