Abstract:
Consider a map ψ0 of class C r for large r of a manifold of dimension n greater than or equal to 2 having a Feigenbaum attractor. We prove that any such ψ0 is a point of a local codimension-one manifold of C r transformations also exhibiting Feigenbaum attractors. In particular, the attractor persists when perturbing a one-parameter family transversal to that manifold at ψ0. We also construct such a transversal family for any given ψ0, and apply this construction to prove a conjecture by J. Palis stating that a map exhibiting a Feigenbaum attractor can be perturbed to obtain homoclinic tangencies.
