Topological dynamics of generic piecewise continuous contractive maps in n dimensions

چکیده
We study the topological dynamics by iterations of a piecewise continuous, non linear and locally contractive map in a real finite dimensional compact ball. We consider those maps satisfying the “separation property”: different continuity pieces have disjoint images. The continuity pieces act as stable topological manifolds while the points in the discontinuity lines, separating different continuity pieces, act as topological saddles with an infinite expanding rate. We prove that C0 generically such systems exhibit one and at most a finite number of persistent periodic sinks attracting all the orbits. In other words, the chaotic behaviors that this class of mappings may exhibit, are structurally unstable and bifurcating.

Integrate and fire neural networks, piecewise contractive maps and limit cycles.
We study the global dynamics of integrate and fire neural networks composed of an arbitrary number of identical neurons interacting by inhibition and excitation. We prove that if the interactions are strong enough, then the support of the stable asymptotic dynamics consists of limit cycles. We also find sufficient conditions for the synchronization of networks containing excitatory neurons. The...
متن کاملContractive piecewise continuous maps modeling networks of inhibitory neurons
We prove that a topologically generic network (an open and dense set of networks) of three or more inhibitory neurons have periodic behavior with a finite number of limit cycles that persist under small perturbations of the structure of the network. The network is modeled by the Poincaré transformation which is piecewise continuous and locally contractive on a compact region B of a finite dimen...

We prove that a generic network of three or more inhibitory neurons have periodic or quasi-periodic behavior with a finite number of limit cycles that persist under small perturbations of the set of parameter values. For bifurcating values of the parameters we prove that there exists a non persistent Cantor set attractor K, such that the dynamics restricted to K is chaotic and sensible to initi...
متن کاملLocally Contractive Dynamics in Generalized Integrate-and-Fire Neurons
Integrate-and-fire models of biological neurons combine differential equations with discrete spike events. In the simplest case, the reset of the neuronal voltage to its resting value is the only spike event. The response of such a model to constant input injection is limited to tonic spiking. We here study a generalized model in which two simple spike-induced currents are added. We show that t...
متن کاملInvariant Measures for the n-Dimensional Border Collision Normal Form
The border collision normal form is a continuous piecewise affine map of R n with applications in piecewise smooth bifurcation theory. We show that these maps have absolutely continuous invariant measures for an open set of parameter space and hence that the attractors have Haus-dorff (fractal) dimension n. If n = 2 the attractors have topological dimension two, i.e. they contain open sets, and...
