In the present report, we analyze the behavior of the bifurcated points appearing through anomalous rotation bifurcation in the two dimensional map defined below. Tm : yn+1 = yn + a(xn − xnm), xn+1 = xn + yn+1 (a ≥ 0, m ≥ 2). Let ac(p/q) be the critical value at which the rotation bifurcation of the elliptic fixed point Q occurs, acsn(p/q) be the critical value at which the saddle-node bifurcation happens and acisn(p/q) be the critical value at which the inverse saddle-node bifurcation happens. Here p/q is the rotation number of the bifurcated periodic orbit. First, we explain the well known anomalous rotation bifurcation named type I. The saddle and elliptic points appear at a = acsn(p/q)(< ac(p/q)). After the saddle-node bifurcation, the saddle point gradually approaches the elliptic fixed point (Q) and the saddle point collides with Q at ac(p/q). Next, we explain two anomalous rotation bifurcations named type II-A and type II-B found in this paper. Suppose that the saddle-node bifurcation occurs after the rotation bifurcation of Q. The saddle point appeared through the saddle-node bifurcation collides with the elliptic point appeared through the rotation bifurcation at a = acisn(p/q)(> acsn(p/q) > ac(p/q)). This is named type II-A. Suppose that the rotation bifurcation of Q occurs after the saddle-node bifurcation occurs. The saddle point appeared through the saddle-node bifurcation collides with the elliptic point appeared through the rotation bifurcation at a = acisn(p/q)(> ac(p/q) > acsn(p/q)). This is named type II-B. The bifurcation processes of types I, II-A and II-B are studied and these differences are discussed.
