A list with two vectors named x and y containing the x-components
and the y-components of the Sinai map, respectively.
Arguments
a
The a parameter. Default: 0.1
start
A 2-dimensional vector indicating the starting values for the
x and y Sinai coordinates.
If the starting point is not specified, it is generated randomly.
n.sample
Length of the generated time series. Default: 5000 samples.
n.transient
Number of transient samples that will be discarded.
Default: 500 samples.
do.plot
Logical value. If TRUE, a plot of the
generated Sinai system is shown. Before version 0.2.11, default value was
TRUE; versions 0.2.11 and later use FALSE as default.

Details
The Sinai map is defined as follows:
$$x_{n+1} = (x_{n} + y_{n} + a \cdot cos(2 \cdot pi \cdot y_{n}) )mod 1$$
$$y_{n+1} = (x_{n} + 2 \cdot y_n)mod 1$$
The default selection for the a parameter is known to produce a deterministic chaotic time series.
