Unfolding chaotic quadratic maps --- parameter dependence of natural measures
We consider perturbations of quadratic maps admitting an absolutely
continuous invariant probability measure, where is in a certain positive
measure set of parameters, and show that in any neighborhood of
any such an , we find a rich fauna of dynamics. There are maps with
periodic attractors as well as non-periodic maps whose critical orbit is
absorbed by the continuation of any prescribed hyperbolic repeller of . In
particular, Misiurewicz maps are dense in . Almost all maps
in the quadratic family is known to possess a unique natural measure, that is,
an invariant probability measure describing the asymptotic distribution
of almost all orbits. We discuss weak*-(dis)continuity properties of the map
near the set , and prove that almost all maps in
have the property that can be approximated with measures
supported on periodic attractors of certain nearby maps. On the other hand, for
any and any periodic repeller of , the
singular measure supported on can also approximated with measures
supported on nearby periodic attractors. It follows that is
not weak*continuous on any full-measure subset of . Some of these
results extend to unimodal families with critical point of higher order, and
even to not-too-flat flat topped families
Complexities of differentiable dynamical systems
International audienceWe define the notion of localizable property for a dynamical system. Then we survey three properties of complexity and relate how they are known to be typical among differentiable dynamical systems. These notions are the fast growth of the number of periodic points, the positive entropy and the high emergence. We finally propose a dictionary between the previously explained theory on entropy and the ongoing one on emergence
