In this paper, we describe a rigorous computer program for attempting to construct a cone field in the tangent bundle over J, which is preserved by DH, and a continuous norm in which DH (and DH^{-1}) uniformly expands the cones (and their complements). We show a consequence of a successful construction is a proof that H is hyperbolic on J. We give several new examples of hyperbolic maps, produced with our computer program, Hypatia, which implements our methods.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-12-22T17:30:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "32H50", "37F15", "37C50", "37-04", "37F50" ], "keywords": [ "complex henon mappings", "hyperbolic structure", "numerical method", "tangent bundle", "julia set" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math......6004L" } } }
