Abstract

In this chapter, we will study a very important class of dynamical systems, which is almost ideally suited as an introduction to the basic characteristics of nonlinear dynamics, namely discrete mappings. An example of such a discrete system is provided by a stroboscopic map, where a system is only observed at well-defined time steps t i . In some situations, the discrete mapping arises directly from the nature of the system, as for instance in population dynamics or kicked or billiard-type systems. In other cases, one uses a discrete approximation to the true continuous evolution.
