Abstract

In the current paper we suggest a new robust algorithm to search for cycles of arbitrary length in non-linear autonomous discrete dynamical systems. With the help of the computer we were able to find (unstable) cycles for several basic maps of nonlinear science: Hénon, Holmes cubic, Ikeda, Lozi, Elhaj-Sprott. The theoretical part of the paper is based on properties of a new family of extremal polynomials that contains the Fejér and Suffridge polynomials. The associated combination of geometric complex analysis and discrete dynamics seems to be a new phenomenon, both theoretical and practical. A novelty of this paper is in the discovery of a close connection between two seemingly disconnected fields: extremal polynomials and cycles in dynamical systems.
