Fractals/Iterations of real numbers/r iterations

Dynamics:

• real analytic unimodal dynamics

Transformation

Exponential transformation of the parameter axis

• 
  normal horizontal axis
• 
  transformed horizontal axis to show period doubling cascade
• 
  3 windows with non-linear, i.e. logarithmic x-axis scale:

3D diagrams

• 
  An animated cobweb diagram
• 
  An animated connected scatter diagram

Maps

• Due to numerical errors different implementations of the same equation can give different trajectories. For example: r*x*(1-x) and r*x - r*x*x
• Sensitivity to initial conditions: "small difference in the initial condition will produce large differences in the long-term behaviour of the system. This property is sometimes called the 'butterfly effect'."

Map types

• doubling map

Tent map

Orbits of tent map:

• 
  double precision computation and numerical error
• 
  increased precision with no error

Logistic map

names :

• logistic map : $f(x)=rx(1-x),$
• logistic equation $x_{n+1}=f(x_{n}),$
• logistic difference equation $x_{n+1}=rx_{n}(1-x_{n}),$
• discrete dynamical system

The logistic map is defined by a recurrence relation ( difference equation) :

$x_{n+1}=rx_{n}(1-x_{n}),$

where :

• $r$ is a given constant parameter
• $x_{0}$ is given the initial term
• $x_{n}$ is subsequent term determined by this relation

Do not confuse it with :

• differential equation ( which gives continous version )

Bash code Javascript code from Khan Academy MATLAB code:

r_values = (2:0.0002:4)';
iterations_per_value = 10;
y = zeros(length(r_values), iterations_per_value);
y0 = 0.5;
y(:,1) = r_values.*y0*(1-y0);
for i = 1:iterations_per_value-1
    y(:,i+1) = r_values.*y(:,i).*(1-y(:,i));
end
plot(r_values, y, '.', 'MarkerSize', 1);
grid on;

	points(pts));

explicit solutions

The system with r=4 has the explicit solution for the nth iteration :

 $x_{n}=sin^{2}(2^{n}arcsin{\sqrt {x_{0}}})$

Precision

Numerical Precision in the Chaotic Regime : " the number of digits of precision which must be specified is about 0.6 of the number of iterations. Hence, to determine is x10 000, we need about 6000 digits."

"Hence it is not possible to predict the value of xn for very large n in the chaotic regime."

Better image

Bifurcation diagram of the logistic map

To show more detaile use tips by User:PAR:

"The horizontal axis is the r parameter, the vertical axis is the x variable. The image was created by forming a 1601 x 1001 array representing increments of 0.001 in r and x. A starting value of x=0.25 was used, and the map was iterated 1000 times in order to stabilize the values of x. 100,000 x -values were then calculated for each value of r and for each x value, the corresponding (x,r) pixel in the image was incremented by one. All values in a column (corresponding to a particular value of r) were then multiplied by the number of non-zero pixels in that column, in order to even out the intensities. Values above 250,000 were set to 250,000, and then the entire image was normalized to 0-255. Finally, pixels for values of r below 3.57 were darkened to increase visibility."

   "The "problem" with pretty much all fractal-type systems, is, that, what happens at the beginning of an actually infinite iterational scheme, is often not descriptive of the long-time limit behaviour. And that's happening with the perturbed Lyapunov exponent from Mario Markus' algorithm as well. If I recall correctly, he states in his 90's article something like "let the x-value settle in". It's similar to the statement "for sufficiently large N" in math papers or in general with convergent series.
   The actual value of how many skipping iterations one performs, is, however, (at least afaik) just a guess till you're satisfied with the quality of the image. In my images, I could not get rid of those artifacts in full, one example being the UFO image, where vasyan did a great job removing those spots:

Lyapunov exponent - image and Maxima CAS code

Great images by Chip Ross

For $x_{n+1}=x_{n}^{2}-c$, the code in MATLAB can be written as:

c = (0:0.001:2)';
iterations_per_value = 100;
y = zeros(length(c), iterations_per_value);
y0 = 0;
y(:,1) = y0.^2 - c;
for i = 1:iterations_per_value-1
    y(:,i+1) = y(:,i).^2 - c;
end
plot(c, y, '.', 'MarkerSize', 1, 'MarkerEdgeColor', 'black');
