Method of constructing exactly solvable chaos
We present a new systematic method of constructing rational mappings as
ergordic transformations with nonuniform invariant measures on the unit
interval [0,1]. As a result, we obtain a two-parameter family of rational
mappings that have a special property in that their invariant measures can be
explicitly written in terms of algebraic functions of parameters and a
dynamical variable. Furthermore, it is shown here that this family is the most
generalized class of rational mappings possessing the property of exactly
solvable chaos on the unit interval, including the Ulam=Neumann map y=4x(1-x).
Based on the present method, we can produce a series of rational mappings
resembling the asymmetric shape of the experimentally obtained first return
maps of the Beloussof-Zhabotinski chemical reaction, and we can match some
rational functions with other experimentally obtained first return maps in a
systematic manner.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figures, REVTEX. Title was changed. Generalized Chebyshev
maps including the precise form of two-parameter generalized cubic maps were
added. Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. E(1997
