I have been studying dynamical systems using topological and computational methods.
My current interest is on the real and complex Hénon map, especially on the structure of its hyperbolic horseshoe locus and the monodromy representation of it.

Program for Proving Hyperbolicity of the complex Hénon Map
Here are
Programs and Data for the computation of monodromies associated to loops in the hyperbolic horseshoe locus of the complex Hénon Map.
Program for Proving Hyperbolicity of the real Hénon Map
Here is a program to prove the uniform hyperbolicity of the chain recurrent set of the real Hénon maps.
The algorithm of the program is described in "On Hyperbolic Plateaus of the Hénon Maps".
To run the program you need
MATLAB and
GAIO.
You also need
CAPD if you want to compile the program by yourself.
README
realhenon.tar.gz
A program which implements the algorithm given in "Rigorous Computations of Homoclinic Tangencies"
by ZA and Konstantin Mischaikow is available as tangency.tar.gz. See README for the instruction.
Patches for BIAS and Profil on PowerPC G5
To use BIAS and Profil on PowerPC G5 (PowerPC 970),
you have to add some assembler code to the program.
Here is an ad-hoc patch for BiasInt.h.
Although this patch is for the BIAS package distributed with GAIO,
I think you can easily modify it for other versions of BIAS.
