Abstract
In different fields of statistical physics, such as Id random field Ising models (RFIM) and neural networks, there appear discrete stochastic mappings of the form
where f n(x) is chosen with equal probability from two functions fσ(x), σ = + or -, and 0 < f′ σ(x) ≤ 1. The dynamics is nonchaotic and, in a region of physical parameters, converges to a strange (fractal) attractor as may be visualized in Fig. 1. The mapping generates an invariant measure which undergoes, as parameters are changed, qualitative transitions, for instance, a transition from thin to fat multifractal.
