Narrow Results

Strange attractors have been extensively studied, but the same is not true for strange repellors. Some time-reversible systems have repellors that mirror their corresponding attractors and that exchange roles when time is reversed. In this paper, a conversion operator is introduced by which an easy transformation can be constructed between such a time-reversible system with an attractor/repellor pair and an irreversible one with a pair of attractors, or vice versa, thus expanding the list of such examples.
