Abstract

This work dynamically classifies a 9-parametric family of birational maps \(f: {\mathbb {C}}^2 \rightarrow {\mathbb {C}}^2\). From the sequence of the degrees \(d_n\) of the iterates of f,  we find the dynamical degree \(\delta (f)\) of f. We identify when \(d_n\) grows periodically, linearly, quadratically or exponentially. The considered family includes the birational maps studied by Bedford and Kim (Mich Math J 54:647–670, 2006) as one of its subfamilies.
