From scattering singularities to the partition of a horseshoe
1Institut fur theoretische Physik, Universitat Basel, Klingelbergstrasse 82, 4056 Basel, Switzerland.
Abstract:
In a chaotic scattering system there are two different approaches to construct a symbolic dynamics. One comes from the branching tree obtained from a scattering function. The other comes from a Markov partition based on the line of primary homoclinic tangencies in the Poincare map taken in the interaction region. In general the two results only coincide for a complete horseshoe. We show how to make a different choice for the partition in the internal Poincare section based on scattering behavior and not on homoclinic tangencies. Then the corresponding symbolic dynamics coincides also for the incomplete case with the one obtained naturally from the scattering functions. The scattering based partition lines of the horseshoe are constructed by an iterative procedure. (c) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
