A Novel Fractional Piecewise Linear Map: Regular and Chaotic Dynamics

Abstract

In this paper, a new piecewise linear map of the plan and its fractional version deduced from the Lozi map is introduced and analysed. The main attention is paid to the study of fixed points and their stability, cycles of period two and their stability regions and the type of bifurcation that occur in the dynamical behaviours of this map. The routes to chaos and some chaotic attractors that exist in the behaviour of the integer map are discussed. Finally, the chaotic behaviour of the associated proposed fractional map is analysed by means of bifurcations diagrams.
