Abstract

Let $0 < \alpha < 2$ and let $T_\alpha (\theta) = \alpha tan(\theta/2)$. $T_\alpha$ has an attractive fixed point at $\theta = 0$. We denote by $C(\alpha)$ the set of points in $I = [-\pi, \pi]$ which are not attracted to $\theta = 0$ by the succesive iterations of $T_\alpha$. That is, $C(\alpha)$ is the set of points in I where the dynamics of $T_\alpha$ is chaotic.
