Attractors with the Symmetry of the n-Cube

Abstract

Equivariant polynomial functions with the symmetries of the n-cube are completely determined in terms of permutations of exponents. Strategiesfor random searchesof linear combinations of these functions are described and used to generate interestingexamples of attractors. These attractors have symmetries that are an admissible subgroup of the symmetries of the square, cube and 4-cube. A central projection ofthe 4-cube with partial inversion is used for the illustrations of attractors in four dimensions.
