Lozi Mappings: Theory and Applications

This book is a comprehensive collection of known results about the Lozi map, a piecewise-affine version of the Henon map. Henon map is one of the most studied examples in dynamical systems and it attracts a lot of attention from researchers, however it is difficult to analyze analytically. Simpler structure of the Lozi map makes it more suitable for such analysis. The book is not only a good introduction to the Lozi map and its generalizations, it also summarizes of important concepts in dynamical systems theory such as hyperbolicity, SRB measures, attractor types, and more.
