The paper “Alternating Period Doubling Cascades” by Philip Aston and his PhD student Neil Bristow has been included in the Highlights of 2013 of the journal Nonlinearity. The paper studies cascades of period-doubling bifurcations that alternate in direction in two-dimensional maps. By tracking the eigenvalues of a typical map throughout such cascades it is shown […]
