Attractors with the symmetry of the $$n$$-cube. (English) Zbl 0885.58043
The author studies and describes in detail the equivariant polynomial maps of $$\mathbb{R}^n$$ (Theorem 2.2), i.e., those maps $$P: \mathbb{R}^n \to\mathbb{R}^n$$ which are polynomials and satisfy the conditions $$P(\rho(x))= \rho(P(x))$$ for all $$x\in \mathbb{R}^n$$ and all orientation-preserving symmetries $$\rho$$ of the $$n$$-cube.
Furthermore, some aspects of the dynamical behaviour of some examples in dimensions 2 up to 4 of linear combinations of such equivariant polynomials are studied by experiments and their attractors are visualized. (In the 4-dimensional case a central projection of the 4-cube is used for the illustration of the attractor).
