Chebyshev

Systems / Maps / Geometric maps

Iterated Chebyshev polynomials — exactly chaotic maps of the interval.

Definition

@staticmethod
def _step(X, a):
    x = X
    return np.cos(a * np.arccos(x))

Parameters

Symbol Default Role
a 6 map degree (integer a>=2 gives Lyapunov exponent ln a)

State variables: x

Properties

Lyapunov spectrum
TODO — lyapunov_spectrum failed: AttributeError
Kaplan–Yorke dimension
TODO — requires a numeric Lyapunov spectrum
Divergence ∇·f
n/a — discrete map — flow divergence undefined (per-step contraction is |det J|)
Equilibria
5 fixed points
0 stable · 5 unstable

Use it in TSDynamics

import tsdynamics as ts

system = ts.systems.Chebyshev()
traj = system.run(steps=10_000)
ts.plot(traj)

spectrum = ts.analysis.lyapunov_spectrum(system)
ts.analysis.kaplan_yorke_dimension(spectrum)
