Abstract

We prove that the diffeomorphisms with strange attractors shown to exist elsewhere are approximated by diffeomorphisms exhibiting homoclinic tangencies. As a consequence for the Hénon family these diffeomorphisms are approximated by diffeomorphisms exhibiting periodic attractors. This answers a question posed by Benedicks and Carleson.
