Entropy charts and bifurcations for Lorenz maps with infinite derivatives.

This paper deals with one-dimensional factor maps for the geometric model of Lorenz-type attractors in the form of two-parameter family of Lorenz maps on the interval I=[-1,1] given by T(x)=(-1+c⋅|x|)⋅sign(x). This is the normal form for splitting the homoclinic loop with additional degeneracy in flows with symmetry that have a saddle equilibrium with a one-dimensional unstable manifold. Due to L.
