B. Grammaticos et al., NONPROLIFERATION OF PRE-IMAGES IN INTEGRABLE MAPPINGS, Journal of physics. A, mathematical and general, 27(2), 1994, pp. 559-566
We present an integrability criterion for rational mappings based on t
wo requirements. First, that a given point should have a unique pre-im
age under the mapping and, second, that the spontaneously appearing si
ngularities be confined to a few iteration steps. We present several e
xamples of known integrable mappings that meet these requirements and,
also, use our algorithm in order to derive new examples of integrable
mappings.
