A DISSIPATIVE MAP OF THE PLANE--A MODEL FOR OPTICAL BISTABILITY (DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS).

We analyze a dissipative map of the plane. The map was initially defined by Ikeda as a model for bistable behavior in an optical ring cavity. Our analysis is based upon an examination of attracting sets and basins of attraction. The primary tools utilized in the analysis are stable and unstable mani...
