Show affiliationsThe renormalization group (RG) method is applied to the study of discrete dynamical systems. As a particular example, the Hénon map is considered as being applied to describe the transverse betatron oscillations in a cyclic accelerator or storage ring possessing a FODO-cell structure with a single thin sextupole. A powerful RG method is developed that is valid correct to fourth order in the perturbation amplitude, and a technique for resolving the resonance structure of the Hénon map is also presented. This calculation represents an application of the RG method to the study of discrete dynamical systems in a unified manner capable of reducing the dynamics of the system both far from and close to resonances, thus preserving the symplectic symmetry of the original map.
