Abstract

The following map is studied: (x,y)(1+a(|x|y2)+y,bx). It is proved numerically that this model can display two different chaotic attractors, one is new and the other is a Lozi-type attractor. The new chaotic attractor is allowed via a border-collision period-doubling scenario, which is different from the classical period-doubling bifurcation.
