"CROSSROAD AREA–SPRING AREA" TRANSITION (II) FOLIATED PARAMETRIC REPRESENTATION

Abstract

The areas considered are related to two different configurations of fold and flip bifurcation curves of maps, centred at a cusp point of a fold curve. This paper is a continuation of an earlier one devoted to parameter plane representation. Now the transition is studied in a thee-dimensional representation by introducing a norm associated with fixed or periodic points. This gives rise to complete information on the map bifurcation structure.
