Abstract

Limit cycles that arise from discretizing the variable(s) of a nonlinear map are generally found to shadow individual unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) of the corresponding continuous map. In a few cases the discretization cycles can only be explained with other mechanisms, such as the near-occurrence of an UPO, or crossover between two or more UPOs.
