Abstract

A monomial Hénon mapping is defined as the well-known two-dimensional Hénon map with the quadratic term replaced by a monomial. This paper introduces a conjecture about monomial Hénon mappings: Even Hénon mappings are chaotic and odd Hénon mappings are not chaotic in the first quadrant of the bifurcation parameter space. This conjecture is based on numerical simulations of this type of map.
