Since, for this family of maps, the Hausdorff dimension $d_f$ equals unity for all $z$ values in contrast with the nonextensivity parameter $q$ which does depend on $z$, it becomes clear that $d_f$ plays no major role in the sensitivity to the initial conditions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-09-10T08:08:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "initial conditions", "circular-like maps", "sensitivity", "multifractality", "usual circular map" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
