Description
We study 1-dimensional coupled map lattices consisting of diffusively
coupled Tchebyscheff maps of N-th order. For small coupling constants a
we determine the invariant 1-point and 2-point densities of these
nonhyperbolic systems in a perturbative way. For arbitrarily small
couplings a>0 the densities exhibit a selfsimilar cascade of
patterns, which we analyse in detail. We prove that there are
log-periodic oscillations of the density both in phase space as well as
in parameter space. We show that expectations of arbitrary observables
scale with sqrt{a} in the low-coupling limit, contrasting the case of
hyperbolic maps where one has scaling with a. Moreover we prove that
there are log-periodic oscillations of period log N^2 modulating the
sqrt{a}-dependence of the expectation value of any given observable.
