We show how the existence of three objects, $Omega_{rm trap}$, ${bf W}$, and $C$, for a continuous piecewise-linear map $f$ on $mathbb{R}^N$, implies that $f$ has a topological attractor with a positive Lyapunov exponent. First, $Omega_{rm trap} subset mathbb{R}^N$ is trapping region for $f$. Second, ${bf W}$ is a finite set of words that encodes the forward orbits of all points in $Omega_{rm trap}$. Finally, $C subset T mathbb{R}^N$ is an invariant expanding cone for derivatives of compositions of $f$ formed by the words in ${bf W}$. We develop an algorithm that identifies these objects for two-dimensional homeomorphisms comprised of two affine pieces. The main effort is in the explicit construction of $Omega_{rm trap}$ and $C$. Their existence is equated to a set of computable conditions in a general way. This results in a computer-assisted proof of chaos throughout a relatively large regime of parameter space. We also observe how the failure of $C$ to be expanding can coincide with a bifurcation of $f$. Lyapunov exponents are evaluated using one-sided directional derivatives so that forward orbits that intersect a switching manifold (where $f$ is not differentiable) can be included in the analysis.

Chaotic attractors in the two-dimensional border-collision normal form (a piecewise-linear map) can persist throughout open regions of parameter space. Such robust chaos has been established rigorously in some parameter regimes. Here we provide formal results for robust chaos in the original parameter regime of [S. Banerjee, J.A. Yorke, C. Grebogi, Robust Chaos, Phys. Rev. Lett. 80(14):3049--3052, 1998]. We first construct a trapping region in phase space to prove the existence of a topological attractor. We then construct an invariant expanding cone in tangent space to prove that tangent vectors expand and so no invariant set can have only negative Lyapunov exponents. Under additional assumptions we also characterise an attractor as the closure of the unstable manifold of a fixed point.
Chaotic dynamics can be quite heterogeneous in the sense that in some regions the dynamics are unstable in more directions than in other regions. When trajectories wander between these regions, the dynamics is complicated. We say a chaotic invariant set is heterogeneous when arbitrarily close to each point of the set there are different periodic points with different numbers of unstable dimensions. We call such dynamics heterogeneous chaos (or hetero-chaos), While we believe it is common for physical systems to be hetero-chaotic, few explicit examples have been proved to be hetero-chaotic. Here we present two more explicit dynamical systems that are particularly simple and tractable with computer. It will give more intuition as to how complex even simple systems can be. Our maps have one dense set of periodic points whose orbits are 1D unstable and another dense set of periodic points whose orbits are 2D unstable. Moreover, they are ergodic relative to the Lebesgue measure.
In some maps the existence of an attractor with a positive Lyapunov exponent can be proved by constructing a trapping region in phase space and an invariant expanding cone in tangent space. If this approach fails it may be possible to adapt the strategy by considering an induced map (a first return map for a well-chosen subset of phase space). In this paper we show that such a construction can be applied to the two-dimensional border-collision normal form (a continuous piecewise-linear map) if a certain set of conditions are satisfied and develop an algorithm for checking these conditions. The algorithm requires relatively few computations, so it is a more efficient method than, for example, estimating the Lyapunov exponent from a single orbit in terms of speed, numerical accuracy, and rigor. The algorithm is used to prove the existence of an attractor with a positive Lyapunov exponent numerically in an area of parameter space where the map has strong rotational characteristics and the consideration of an induced map is critical for the proof of robust chaos.
In the context of non-uniformly expanding maps, possibly with the presence of a critical set, we prove the existence of finitely many ergodic equilibrium states for hyperbolic potentials. Moreover, the equilibrium states are expanding measures. The technique consists in using an inducing scheme in a finite Markov structure with infinitely many symbols to code the dynamics to obtain an equilibrium state for the associated symbolic dynamics and then projecting it to obtain an equilibrium state for the original map.
For piecewise-linear maps, the phenomenon that a branch of a one-dimensional unstable manifold of a periodic solution is completely contained in its stable manifold is codimension-two. Unlike codimension-one homoclinic corners, such `subsumed homoclinic connections can be associated with stable periodic solutions. The purpose of this paper is to determine the dynamics near a generic subsumed homoclinic connection in two dimensions. Assuming the eigenvalues associated with the periodic solution satisfy $0 < |lambda| < 1 < sigma < frac{1}{|lambda|}$, in a two-parameter unfolding there exists an infinite sequence of roughly triangular regions within which the map has a stable single-round periodic solution. The result applies to both discontinuous and continuous maps, although these cases admit different characterisations for the border-collision bifurcations that correspond to boundaries of the regions. The result is illustrated with a discontinuous map of Mira and the two-dimensional border-collision normal form.
