Dynamics of Kahan-Hirota-Kimura maps with rational invariant fibrations

Víctor Mañosa, Chara Pantazi

Abstract

We present a simple method to study the dynamics of planar Kahan-Hirota-Kimura (KHK) maps preserving rational fibrations. Using this approach, we show that integrable KHK maps may exhibit complex dynamics, even when obtained from vector fields with trivial behavior. As an application, we study the KHK map associated with a quadratic planar vector field with an isochronous center. This map preserves the original first integral and admits the vector field as a Lie symmetry. Moreover, for a dense set of values of the integration step, it is globally periodic and exhibits all possible periods except 2. We also provide evidence of non-integrability for KHK maps associated with other quadratic vector fields possessing isochronous centers. To overcome this issue, we introduce the notion of pseudo-KHK maps, as alternative integrable discretizations for vector fields with isochronous centers. These maps are constructed to preserve the first integrals of the original vector field and to ensure that the vector field itself is a Lie symmetry of the map. The construction can be extended to isochronous centers of degree greater than two.

Key Result

Proposition 1

Consider the map $M(t)=(at+b)/(ct+d)$, where $a,b,c,d\in{\mathbb R}$, with $c\neq 0$, defined for $t\in \widehat{{\mathbb R}}= \mathbb{R} \cup \{\infty\}$. Set $\Delta=(d-a)^2+4bc$ and $\xi=(a+d+\sqrt{\Delta})/(a+d-\sqrt{\Delta})$.
