Abstract

In this paper we construct strange attractors in a class of pinched skew product dynamical systems over homeomorphims on a compact metric space. We assume that maps between fibers satisfy Inada conditions and that the base space is a super-repeller (it is invariant and its vertical Lyapunov exponent is $+\infty$). In particular, we prove the existence of a measurable but non-continuous invariant graph, whose vertical Lyapunov exponent is negative. %We will refer to such an object as a strange attractor.
Since the dynamics on the strange attractor is the one given by the base homeomorphism, we will say that it is a strange chaotic attractor or a strange non-chaotic attractor depending on the fact that the dynamics on the base is chaotic or non-chaotic. The results complement the paper by G. Keller on rigorous proofs of existence of strange non-chaotic attractors.
