Abstract

We propose a simple model-two-parameter family of diffeomorphisms of a two-dimensional torus. Combining analytical and numerical methods, we find regions in the parameter plane such that each diffeomorphism of the family is hyperbolic and describe the structure of the corresponding hyperbolic sets. We also study bifurcations on the boundaries of these regions, which lead to the change of hyperbolicity type (from Anosov diffeomorphisms to DA-diffeomorphisms).
