Image Entropy for Discrete Dynamical Systems, 2011 In: Gian Italo Bischi, Carl Chiarella, and Iryna Sushko, eds., Global Analysis of Dynamic Models in Economics and Finance: Esays in Honour of Laura Gardini, Springer, 2012; pp. 319-335. Subjects: Dynamics Abstract: In the 1950s, Menzel, Stein, and Ulam performed one of the earliest digital simulations of discrete dynamics in two-dimensions. In their work they created a robot mathematician to scan the results of simulations for chaotic attractors. Here I will extend their idea, using the image entropy concept to scan a family of endomorphisms for explosive and catastrophic bifurcations. [PDF] 21 pages, 1.0 MB Last revised by Ralph Abraham
