S.Subbiah, D.J.Driebe. Spectral Decomposition of the Tent map with Varying Height. (363K, LATeX with embedded PS figures) ABSTRACT. The generalized spectral decomposition of the Frobenius-Perron operator of the tent map with varying height is determined at the band-splitting points. The decomposition includes both decay onto the attracting set and the approach to the asymptotically periodic state on the attractor. Explicit compact expressions for the polynomial eigenstates are obtained using algebraic techniques.
