Abstract

From a large class of diffeomorphisms in the plane, which are known to produce chaotic dynamics, we explicitly construct their continuous suspension on a three dimensional cylinder. This suspension is smooth (C 1) and can be characterized by the choice of two smooth functions on the unit interval, which have to fulfill certain boundary conditions. For the case of entire Cremona transformations, we are able to construct the corresponding autonomous differential equations of the flow explicitly. Thus it is possible to relate properties of discrete maps to those of ordinary differential equations in a quantitative manner. Furthermore, our construction makes it possible to study the exact solutions of chaotic differential-equations directly.
