Periodic Attractors versus Nonuniform Expansion in Singular Limits of Families of Rank One Maps

We analyze parametrized families of multimodal 1D maps that arise as singular limits of parametrized families of rank one maps. For a generic 1-parameter family of such maps that contains a Misiurewicz-like map, it has been shown that in a neighborhood of the Misiurewicz-like parameter, a subset of parameters of positive Lebesgue measure exhibits nonuniformly expanding dynamics characterized by the existence of a positive Lyapunov exponent and an absolutely continuous invariant measure. Under a mild combinatoric assumption, we prove that each such parameter is an accumulation point of the set of parameters admitting superstable periodic sinks.
