Abstract

We describe the attractors for a two-parameter family of two-dimensional piecewise affine maps using measure theory. These piecewise affine maps arise when studying the unfolding of homoclinic tangencies for certain class of three dimensional diffeomorphisms. We also prove the existence, for each natural number n,  of an open set of parameters in which the respective transformation exhibits at least \(2^n\) two-dimensional strange attractors.
