In a seminal paper, Viana built examples of maps presenting two positive Lyapunov exponents exploring skew-products of a (uniformly) expanding map and a quadratic map (order 2 critical point) perturbed by some level of noise. Here we extend that construction replacing the quadratic underlying dynamics by maps with a more degenerated critical point.
We consider in this paper a sequence of complex analytic functions constructed by the following procedure $f_n(z)=f_{n-1}(z)f_{n-2}(z)+c$, where $c\in\C$ is a parameter. Our aim is to give a thorough dynamical study of this family, in particular we are able to extend the familiar notions of Julia sets and Green function and to analyze their properties. As a consequence, we extend some well-known results. Finally we study in detail the case where $c$ is small.
Consider the basic algorithm to perform the transformation n--> n+1 changing digits of the d-adic expansion of n one by one. We obtain a family of Markov chains on the non-negative integers through sucessive and independent applications of the algorithm modified by a parametrized stochastic rule that randomly prevents one of the steps in the algorithm to finish. The objects of study in this paper are the spectra of the transition operators of these Markov chains. The spectra of these Markov chains turn out to be fibered Julia sets of fibered polynomials. This enable us to analyze their topological and analytical properties with respect to the underlying parameters of the Markov chains.
