Nonextensivity at the edge of chaos of a new universality class of one-dimensional unimodal dissipative maps

We introduce a new universality class of one-dimensional unimodal dissipative maps. The new family, from now on referred to as the ($z_1,z_2$)-{\it logarithmic map}, corresponds to a generalization of the $z$-logistic map. The Feigenbaum-like constants of these maps are determined. It has been recently shown that the probability density of sums of iterates at the edge of chaos of the $z$-logistic map is numerically consistent with a $q$-Gaussian, the distribution which, under appropriate constraints, optimizes the nonadditive entropy $S_q$. We focus here on the presently generalized maps to check whether they constitute a new universality class with regard to $q$-Gaussian attractor distributions. We also study the generalized $q$-entropy production per unit time on the new unimodal dissipative maps, both for strong and weak chaotic cases. The $q$-sensitivity indices are obtained as well. Our results are, like those for the $z$-logistic maps, numerically compatible with the $q$-generalization of a Pesin-like identity for ensemble averages.
