At that time the idea was controversial, and it remains a fascinating and unsettled issue today. We report the results of a 20-year laboratory research programme that continued in the tradition of the pioneering ecologist Thomas Park using the Tribolium flour beetle model. We present biological evidence of complex population dynamics – including bifurcations, chaos, saddle nodes, phase switching, resonance effects, and multiple attractors – by using a low-dimensional difference equation model for Tribolium together with carefully designed, conducted, and statistically analysed experiments. The model, parameterized with data, also explains the results of historical Tribolium experiments, such as the classical competition studies of Thomas Park and his colleagues. Our research programme has inspired other studies using the Tribolium mathematical and laboratory model. This work was conducted by a multidisciplinary team, which included Jim Cushing.KEYWORDS: Nonlinear dynamicspopulation ecologyTriboliumchaosstochasticity AcknowledgementsWe congratulate Jim on the occasion of his 80th birthday and for his outstanding career.

Our main results establish the dynamics in the so called regular set, which is the complementary of the closure of the set formed by the preimages of the discontinuity line. We prove that any connected component of this set is open, bounded and periodic under the action of Fλ, with a period ℓ, that depends on the connected component. Furthermore, Fλℓ restricted to each component acts as a rotation with a period which also depends on the connected component. As a consequence, any point in the regular set is periodic. Among other results, we also prove that for any connected component of the regular set, its boundary is a convex polygon with certain maximum number of sides.Keywords: Periodic pointspointwise periodic mapspiecewise linear mapsfractal tessellationsMathematics Subject Classifications: 37C2539A2337B10 AcknowledgmentsWe thank our colleague Roser Guardia for the indications regarding the scale factor of the critical set that we mentioned in Section 4.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe first, second and fourth authors are supported by Ministry of Science and Innovation–State Research Agency of the Spanish Government through grants PID2019-104658GB-I00 (first and second authors) and MTM2017-86795-C3-1-P (fourth autor).

Sequences of bifurcations peculiar of rational maps are evidenced, as those occurring due to unbounded cycles (that is, periodic orbits having one point at infinity, related to the vertical asymptotes) that are superstable, as well as to unbounded chaotic intervals. Moreover, two particular bifurcation points, having the role of organizing centres in the (a,b)-parameter plane, are studied. Each point is related to a pair of conditions, which allow us to consider them as the bifurcation points of codimension-2, as it is usual for this kind of organizing centres. However, the two conditions are related not to bifurcations but to degeneracies in the graph of the function. The sequences of bifurcations leading to attracting cycles associated with these particular points are investigated, analytically and numerically, making use of particular properties of the rational map.","PeriodicalId":15616,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Difference Equations and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135734349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, from the measure-theoretic point of view, Wu and Zhu introduced a notion of pointwise metric preimage entropy hm,μ(T) for a T-invariant measure µ on X, and obtained the variational principle between hm,μ(T) and hm(T) under the condition of uniform separation of preimages. A natural question is whether a variational principle for hm(T) and hm,μ(T) without any additional assumptions. In this paper, we define a new version of topological preimage entropy hm(T|μ) relative to a T-invariant measure µ, and show that the inequality hm,μ(T)⩽hm(T|μ)⩽hp(T) holds for every T-invariant probability measure µ. As a consequence, we obtain that there is a topological dynamical system (X,T) such that the following strict inequality holds: supμ∈M(X,T)hm,μ(T)<hm(T),where M(X,T) denote the set of all T-invariant probability measures.Keywords: Preimage entropyvariational principlenon-invertible map2000 Mathematics Subject Classifications: Primary: 37A25Secondary: 37A3537A05 AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank the anonymous referees for their useful comments and helpful suggestions that improved the manuscript.
