Abstract

We prove that there exists a \(C^1\)-open set \(\mathcal{U }\) of diffeomorphisms of the plane that consists of pruning diffeomorphisms of the horseshoe (up to a conjugacy), with the property that the \(C^0\)-closure of \(\mathcal{U }\) contains all Hénon map in the boundary of the real horseshoe locus.
