Algorithm 4 A sufficient topological criterion for P.
  1. Search for cycles with period TTmax;⁡

  2. Evaluate the multiplier ΛT;

  3. Check for return   dn(T)=|zn+Tzn|;

  4. Take the sequence of vertices {zn}n0N1 (after the transition);

  5. Fix Tmax, ԑ and a majority threshold θ;

  6. For each T=1,,Tmax  calculate the returns

         dn(T)=|zn+Tzn| for n = 0,…, N − T − 1,
we write the division
            rT=1NT#{n:dn(T)<ԑ};
  • 7.

    If there is no T with rT ≥ θ, there is no observable periodicity for TTmax;

  • 8.

    For each T with small dn(T) evaluate locally P(z) by linear fit of the points (zn, zn+1) in a small circle around each of the T nodes of the cycle candidate; multiply the derivatives along the path → ΛT(z)=j0T1P(zj);

  • 9.

    If for all found candidates |ΛT| ≥ 1 classify the regime as non-periodic unstable;

  • 10.

    If for some T there is rT ≥ θ and |ΛT| < 1, reclassify as non-periodic stable.
