Study on the dynamical behaviors of a two-dimensional discrete system Original Research Article

The generalized Ushiki map is investigated. It is theoretically proven that there are transcritical and flip bifurcations and there exists a chaotic phenomenon in the sense of Marotto. And numerical simulations not only show the consistency with the theoretical analysis but also exhibit the complex dynamical behaviors including the period-6, 5, 3 windows, intermittency mechanics, attractor merging crisis and boundary crisis. The computation of Lyapunov exponents conforms the dynamical behaviors.
