Abstract

Arguments in favor of the nondifferentiability with respect to initial data of some functions associated with deterministic discrete-time dynamical systems are presented. A correspondence between a discrete-time dynamical system and a deterministic scattering model is found and used to interpret nondifferentiability conditions. A connection with random walks is also found.
