Abstract

We show that under some assumptions on the function f the system ż=z̅(f(z)eiϕt+ei2ϕt) generates chaotic dynamics for sufficiently small parameter ϕ. We use the topological method based on the Lefschetz fixed point theorem and the Ważewski retract theorem.

Keywords

periodic solutions, fixed point index, Lefschetz number, chaos
