Abstract:We consider the family of piecewise linear maps $F(x,y)=\left(|x| - y + a, x - |y| + b\right),$ where $(a,b)\in \mathbb{R}^2$. In previous work, we identified that certain maps of this class possess one-dimensional invariant sets, planar graphs, that capture the global dynamics of the system. Within these graphs, chaotic dynamics emerge for certain parameter values, leading to an intermediate dynamical regime between regular behavior and full-plane chaos. In the present study, we revisit this family and analyze in detail the topological entropy as a function of a bifurcation parameter, finding that transitions from positive to zero entropy are continuous for certain parameter values and discontinuous for others. We also provide a methodology for determining arbitrarily sharp rational bounds for the bifurcation values at which this transition occurs. Finally, motivated by the limitations of numerical simulations in detecting the complex dynamics within these graphs, we prove that for some parameter values, there exists a full-measure set in these graphs where orbits converge to at most three omega-limit sets, which, when the parameter values are rational, correspond to periodic orbits.
