Tent Map - Asymmetric Tent Map

Asymmetric Tent Map

The asymmetric tent map is essentially a distorted, but still piecewise linear, version of the case of the tent map. It is defined by

v_{n+1}=\begin{cases} v_n/a &\mathrm{for}~~ v_n \in [0,a) \\ \\ (1-v_n)/(1-a) &\mathrm{for}~~ v_n \in \end{cases}

for parameter . The case of the tent map is the present case of . A sequence {} will have the same autocorrelation function as will data from the first-order autoregressive process with {} independently and identically distributed. Thus data from an asymmetric tent map cannot be distinguished, using the autocorrelation function, from data generated by a first-order autoregressive process.

    “His genius can cover all the land with gorgeous palaces, but the reader does not abide in them, but pitches his tent rather in the desert and on the mountain-peak.”
