Unstable dimension variability (UDV) is an extreme form of nonhyperbolicity. It is a structurally stable phenomenon, typical for high dimensional chaotic systems, which implies severe restrictions to shadowing of perturbed solutions. Perturbations are unavoidable in modelling Physical phenomena, since no system can be made completely isolated, states and parameters cannot be determined without uncertainties and any numeric approach to such models is affected by truncation and/or roundoff errors. Thus, the lack of shadowability in systems exhibiting UDV presents a challenge for modelling. Aiming to unveil the effect of perturbations a class of nonhyperbolic systems is studied. These systems present transversal unstable dimension variability (TUDV), which means the dynamics can be split in a skew direct product form, i. e. the phase space is decomposed in two components: a hyperbolic chaotic one, called longitudinal, and a nonhyperbolic transversal one. Moreover, in the absence of perturbations, the longitudinal component is a global attractor of the system. A prototype composed of two coupled piecewise-linear chaotic maps is presented in order to study the TUDV effects. This system has an invariant subspace S which characterizes the complete chaos synchronization and UDV, when present, is transversal to it. Taking advantage of (piecewise) linearity of the equations, an analytical method for unstable periodic orbits’ computation is presented. The set of all unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) is one of the building block of chaotic dynamics and its properties provide valuable informations about the asymptotic behaviour of the system as, for instance, the invariant natural measure. Therefore, the TUDV’s intensity is analytically studied by computing the contrast measure, which quantifies the difference between the statistical weights associated to UPOs with different unstable dimension. The effect of perturbations is modelled by the introduction of a small parameter mismatch, instead of noise addition, in order to keep the model’s determinism. Consequently, the characterization of dynamics by means of UPOs is still possible. It is shown the existence of a dense set G of UPOs outside the invariant subspace consistent with a chaotic repeller. When perturbation takes place, G merges with the set H of UPOs previously in S, given rise to a new nonhyperbolic stationary state. The analysis of G ∪H provides a topological explanation to the behaviour of systems with TUDV under perturbations. Moreover, the relation between the set of UPOs embedded in a chaotic attractor and its natural measure, proven only for hyperbolic systems, is successfully applied to this system: the error between the natural measure estimated both numerically and by means of UPOs is shown to be decreasing with p, the considered UPOs’ period. It is conjectured the coincidence between both in limit. Hence, a positive answer to reliability of numerical estimation to natural measure in nonhyperbolic systems via unstable dimension variability is presented.
